Can you cover a tattoo with a tattoo?

I have the outline of the biohazard symbol on my upperback.
It's just the outline and only in black, probably 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

I wanted to get a fairly large dragon and maybe some water or something in the background that could cover up the outline of the biohazard symbol.
This dragon would take time and lots of money of course, which I am willing, and will possibly have color, if not just black and white.

Is this possible with a good tattoo artist, and does anyone have any stories like this?



Answer
A friend of mine recently covered an old tattoo she didn't want people to see with a butterfly. The designs in the butterfly camouflaged the old design (dragon scales could do the same thing) and you can not see the old design at all. It looks good.

What do you think about birth dates written in Roman Numerals?

I want to get both of my daughters' names & their birth dates but I'm torn between using regular numbers or roman numerals. What do you think? Any other ideas are appreciated too. :)


Answer
I love tattoos and I think its a great idea to do either one.

Just remember to look at several tattooists and their art. And remember they are people in sales trying to sell their skill and they may lie to you about it so look at their art and ask people in there about them. And often other tattoo parlors will bash others so pay no attention to it.

I think the roman numerals would be the better idea. The more you spend the better it is usually. The better the tattooist the better the skill the more it costs.

I would first think of what do they like- there favorite colors, and so on. Their personalities make it be expressed in the tattoo.

For a example I got my sons name tattooed on my inner wrist in fancy cursive. His favorite color is blue and he was a wild personality. He is 3 and very energetic. So when I got his name tattooed on me I got it in crazy cursive- fancy with loops and sharp tips. I got it shadowed in blue. great contrast with the black. I also have his astrology star constellation in basic lighter blue behind it.

So if I was you I would put a lot of thoughts into the design, the size, the money, and who does it and where. They will be there for life so dont be afraid to put in extra cash for something amazing.

If it was me I would tattoo their birth dates in roman numerals in a (011089) month month day day year year or something format. And have it outlined in black with their favorite colors and stuff in them. Like if they love purple it could be 3 shades of purple and maybe a redish shade also. So many options. I hope it works out amazing.

I seen something before that was a pretty decent size tattoo of their kids initials. It was like three inch wide letters that wrapped around the bottom of the wrist and sides and in the inside of it instead of just color filling it was butterflies. Looked awesome.

Look at tattoos on google images, the local tattoo parlors and so on. I am sure you will find something awesome. Just make sure the tattooist is awesome.

Someone can have a awesome idea but the artist sucks therefor it comes out bad. Remember to ask them what do they suggest for after care- soaps, what kind and when to lotion and so on.
