Is This Tattoo A Bad Idea?
    #25373003 -

I Have a Ex fiancé's Initial's on my arm.

Bottom Left(Side Closest to my chest)  of my deltoid.

I need it covered up.

I have no desire to get a tattoo whatsoever.

The only thing I can think of I want is some Mushroom's.
Or a flower or my cat's Face but I can't do that.
I've been pondering for months.

The tattoo is a little over a inch wide and a little over a inch tall.
All the mushroom tattoo art I find won't cover it up sadly.

But this beauty will...



Thinking I could hide the the old tattoo in the middle shrooms cap?

Woah I didn't expect the picture to be that big.

Now I know this is forever.

I'm going to make it as small as possible but big enough to still look right.

I can play this mushroom on my arm off if I have to explain it.

And one mushroom trip in particular really did things for me or allowed me to do things for myself so I feel like it would be a good forever type memory to needle in my arm...

Opinions please?
Should I Get The Tattoo?

I wouldn't do the shroomery logo because it's a logo. Basic silhouettes don't tend to look all that great as tattoos either, they tend to look cheap and not very well thought through. I'd just get it laser removed, or find a cover-up specialist that can do something crazy awesome with it.

All of my tattoos already look cheap and not well thought through.

I won't say they are mistakes because they mean well.

I just need this one.
Gone.

Maybe just the middle shroom?

:rofl:

Smaller but still proportional.

So it's initials? Maybe you could put other letters around them to spell something else.

I think just the middle shroom wouldn't look too great, and might look worse than all of them together. It might be confused for something else entirely and look like a blob.


There's a lot you can do. I wouldn't just put the first thing that looks like it could cover it on you.

talk to an artist about what ideas they have for shape and size to make it look right, or just get whatever the hell you want to cover it up, it doesn't sound like a large area.

My girlfriend has her ex-husband's name tatooed on the back of her neck.

"Bill"

I told her I'd pay to get it changed to "Hillbilly".

That offer is good for life. :cookiemonster:

Personally, I would never cover or remove a tattoo as they're all part of my life story. I have a message to my ex-wife and her nickname on my stomach and people often say why not cover up/remove. Fuck that. That shit happened, and I'm not about to try and forget it.

But for you, based on what you say, why not get it removed if you don't want another tat to cover it?

i say no to that particular image but i love a good mushroom tattoo. some people, especially here, will call you a dumb fuck for getting something "drug related" as a tattoo, and maybe they're right. but i personally always appreciate them.

anyway, bottom line, if you're asking for others' input on a tattoo the answer is probably no, don't get it. it's your body and it's forever, you gotta be 1000% in on it. but i do understand wanting to cover up something that causes you pain when you look at it. i also understand JSB's perspective on it, but if it comes down to a matter of poorer quality of life then i see nothing wrong with trying to change it. that's one thing i always loved about ink, it's permanent, but the canvas of your body forever changes. you can add to, change, or cover up certain pieces as the story of your life evolves.

thread is making me wanna get a new piece. it's been almost exactly a year since my last one and i have a few ideas i really want. hmm...

What's the average hourly rate for a decent artist round the NE? Been thinking of seeing if I can find someone to finish the hole in my torso for me if I get my contract renewed...

That's good to hear. Prices for a good artist in London are starting to nudge on $200/hour, whereas my old artist up the country was more like $70/hour (after working together for years mind you).

I have a biiiiiiiig piece to do for my next one, so I need a balance between good/cheap.

East coast here. My last two pieces were $150/hr and $200/hr.

I've weighed my options.

It is crazy expensive to get this little tattoo removed.
And Im so tight.
When I walk I squeak.

I don't really want another tattoo unless I get lost in a jungle and join a indigenous tribe.
So paying $150 for something I don't want would break my little heart.

I really like the Shroomery logo so in the future if I change my mind or have to get it covered up that is what I'll get.
Maybe have the artist jazz it up a bit but that will be the basis.

I'm just going to leave it be.
It's hidable.
And Like it was said.
It was part of my life.
Shit happens.
No need to feel some type of way about it or spend unnecessary money's.

Battle scars.

Thank you all for your opinion's. :thumbup:
