Covering up my second tattoo with my ninth.

Today's discussion topics: the best Star Trek series (he was not a fan of DS9, and that's okay, he's allowed to be wrong), the time he thought he would introduce two friends who might hit it off only to find out they had already done so.

I also found out he restores old cars in his free time and his freebie is 90s Kurt Russell, which mightily confused his girlfriend.

How painful is a mandala lotus flower tattoo design?

mandala lotus flower tattoo is a geometric compilation of symbols, typically aligned in a circle. The meaning of a mandala isn’t set in stone, though it’s typically considered a symbol of balance, eternity, and perfection. Many cultures have used the mandala lotus flower tattoo symbol within their teachings as a way to further that understanding of balance. For information visit here https://bit.ly/3KQHaWp

Cover Ups: It's not always the end of the world

Tattoo regret is completely normal, and okay. Sometimes it's stems from no longer feel attached to a concept, not enjoying the placement or you had a goofy drunk stick and poke night with the pals.

Everyone deserves to feel good in their skin, and the process of laser can be pretty expensive, and not always necessary for a cover up.

Laser? No Laser?

Laser is fading existing ink particles, you can completely remove or significantly fade a tattoo. Depending on the skin type, ink colours and how old a tattoo is, it' determine how many sessions you'll need.

Some artists may reccomend laser, but usually it's dependant on what your cover up idea is. So always chat to your artist about what they reccomend for your vision.

I'm not a laser technician, so I can't really give you much information about pricing and how any sessions you'd need. I reccomend having a chat to any removal places in regards to that.

I have just heard it can be quite lengthy and expensive. On top of the finances of getting a tattoo as well, it's not always the most ideal scenario.

What should I be thinking about for cover ups?

Generally covers ups use elements of the original design to create something entirely new. It's like hiding an artwork within an artwork, so generally a cover up tends to be large and darker.

However, there are some incredible artists that don't follow that rule and do some amazing cover ups with vibrant colours. So always seek an experienced cover up artist.

Depending on what you're covering up, and what the cover up is, you tattoo may also take multiple passes too. Sometimes this is the case to build colour or have specific details.

What I reccomend thinking about for cover up ideas:

Seeking experienced artists - not all artists are experienced or have the mind for cover ups, and that's okay. Make sure you seek an artist who can help and chat to you about your wants, needs and expectations about cover ups. They should be able to help you navigate a cover up by talking with you about what does and doesn't work, placement and if or how the process many differ to your usual tattoo experience.

The existing tattoo - do you want to completely cover the existing tattoo, or keep parts of the original tattoo visible? This will help you decide your ideas/concepts.

Flexibility - sometimes it's not as simple as covering an existing tattoo with something new. Usually we need to consider if aspects of the new idea are going to be able to cover up what's underneath. If it doesn't, it can look messy. So I suggest picking a couple of concepts/ideas you enjoy that you'd like to use as a cover up.

Cover up do not have to be as simple of slapping a black square and calling it a day. There are some really brilliant people out there, that can help you decide on concepts/ideas that'll make you feel good in your skin. Seek them out! And if you're unsure where to start, ask an artist you trust for their advice and recommendation about a cover up journey.

Part one of reworking this thing. Gonna be a long ride.

This is why you NEVER draw a stencil from a picture of an existing tattoo, even if the client "wants the exact same thing" - the image will be distorted.

The tattoo ref:

If they are determined to replicate the design (or in this case, I am reworking it to correction), you need to look for the original reference image used; using the TATTOO reference image is not good enough, not only because of distortions but also the artist that did the tattoo might have made some choices (changes/simplifications) that you would not. A lot of the widely-circulated images of existing tattoos that folks bring in are decent, but sourced from exactly one original picture that you can track down with a little work. With AI junk clogging things up, it took me a bit longer than it should have, but I did eventually find it:

THIS is what you need to make your stencil from. You can see quite a few differences in accuracy from this and the tattoo reference, including some weirdness in eyes that I would have definitely fixed... though, in my case, I'll just be using this photo as a reference to rework what I can into better anatomy.
