cover up my ugly tattoo with a better one

Check out my new photo! Thats the huge 3 hour tat.

BYE BYE ugly Mike tattoo!

Hello geisha!

Took 3 hours and hurt after the 2 hour mark but i did it!

So i went Friday to see the tat guy and YA! he had a cancelation and can get me in the Thursday at 5pm! If i didnt snag that appointment id be waiting 5-6 weeks! Hes a busy guy but worth waiting for! :)

Dont ever get someones name on you unless its a family member!!!

I have an ex’s (my first sons father) name on my left shoulder blade! UGLY! Ive been wanting to get it fixed for two years now. Especially since i have a new partner and another baby! lol dont need this “baggage” on me. So i want to get this done SOON! I want a Geisha to cover it! :)

I was 18 when I got my first tattoo. It was (surprise!) a Chinese love symbol on my lower back. Can’t get more unoriginal… A few years older and hopefully wiser, I’m now horrified by my “tramp stamp.”

I have a few ideas running through my head as far as cover-ups go, but I’m researching as much as humanly possible before I find myself in some random tattoo parlor, picking an equally random design off the wall (ugh.).

...is on my ankle. It started out as a small chinese symbol for love (I know…so cliche, but I was young!) and then several years later, I had an artist,who was recommended by a friend, do a freehand design over it. I had an allergic reaction to the red ink and my ankle blew up like a balloon, scabbed over and took many weeks to fully heal. I’m very unhappy with the design and very embarassed to expose my ankle. It’s been about 5 years now, and I’m so ready to change it. Now, I’m just trying to figure out what to put there, instead.
