LMAO!!! Scratchers work at its finest!!!! Thats a shame.........

well let me explain something. i tattoo the hood. i am not the best artist and i work every day to get better. as you can see tho, my work by far is better than other options (and clean) which oviously is the most important thing. neither of these guys have the 5 bills its gonna take at a shop to get covered up by a pro, both have reviewed my work on other people and called me based on that. thank you for the advice. i do listen, however one of them is going in the military and cant have f@#k you written on him, so i will put something there as clean and as sick as i can and send him off to the marines.
i have many tribal pieces and in may incorporate different pieces of tribal in a way that looks good to get this done. i guess ill get to work. any other comments besides stop tattooing or dont do it are welcome.
thankz

What!? I'm a wanna be designer but even I can see that the cross is completely horrible! What's that mess????

Ok, if you both still want to go ahead, you better pick something else...

probably have to black the cross out and add some lines coming out maybe in black and red.
the f@#k you tattoo? thats gonna be hard
hope he likes sharks

The shape has absolutely nothing to do with cover up tattooing. There are no out of bounds penalties in tattooing. Don't try to confine the shape to what is previously there, there are many more options, gotta look outside the box and go with a concept that can be manipulated by intense line work and medium to heavy contrast combined.
