I have an angel tattoo... It looks horrible now. It is about 3 inches tall and only 1/2 inch wide. The outline is obviously black, the wings are light light blue, and the hair is light brown. Otherwise its skin color. I am hoping I can get this covered with no issue. I want to cover it up with either the symbol for the Holy Spirit (white dove) with scripture. Has anyone had a tattoo covered? How had was it to cover? Can you see the other tattoo at all?

Yes you can cover it up. You may be limited on what you can cover it up with depending on the original design. Choose a artist that specializes in cover ups and ask to see pictures of previous ones that he has done. Your best option would be to have a custom design to go over your existing tattoo to ensure that it will cover well. Good luck. If you choose the right artist you will never know you had one before.

I think I can help you! Tattoos can be covered with some kind of plastic surgery!You will have to meet a plastic surgeant and he will tell you if the colors you have used on your tattoo will be easily ''erased''!Though,this procedure won't end in one session and is pretty expensive -much more than getting a tattoo done- and last but not least is really painful and will leave you a scar analog to the size of the tattoo(smaller of course)! So think about it and see a specialist..There is always the option to make it look better by differentiating it in some way ..!

My mom had a tattoo covered, she said it hurt a lot more than the original did, because it had to be a little bigger, plus it was covering one......so, I wouldn't say that it was hard and no you can't see the other tattoo at all, although she did have to stay with the same color theme or go darker.

There are artists who specialize in cover work. You really should talk to one, it may be limiting what can be done if it's THAT specific, you know? Have a general idea, and work with the artist on it. There are some amazing cover up tattoos being done. Do your research, and good luck! =0)

You can get another tattoo done over one you already have. I've had two friends who have had this done. Both time, I could see the other tattoo underneath. I have yet to see an actual good one where you can't see the other one.
Make sure you ask the tattoo artist if they think the other one will be visible AND if they have ever done it before on someone else. IF no, look around for someone who has. If Yes, ask to see pictures and/or ask for references.

I have a cover up .... it was suppost to be of tinker bell but the guy that did made it look like a fly! so when i went to Hawaii i got a cover up! I got a plumeria.... you still can see my "fly" but only if you stare at it and i'm really only one that notices it... so if you have a good artis and good colors u'll be okay.

I think your best option is to discuss it with a tattoo artist.
They can advise you what will work best for your cover up.
