I have a forearm tattoo that wasn't great to begin with and hasn't held up well. I'm leaning towards a hot air balloon coverup with a stack of books as the basket. I'm a primary color kinda gal who wears a lot of black IRL. Leaning towards American Traditional style.
Any thoughts? Warnings? Ideas? (Yes, I intend to listen to my artist and it's not the original artist - just throwing ideas together for the consult.)
@LotSixteen You mean the current tattoo? It's a straight up typeset quote in black, so a fair number of options that don't have to be a sick ass panther or such. 😉
Since I'm not interested in a band or an ornamental (well, unless someone has a fabulous idea), I've been looking for a larger foundation piece on that arm that gives me the ability to add.
Hot air balloons are appealing for several personal reasons, but also (to my current thoughts) both the balloon and basket have a lot of options.
Oh and I'm so white as to make Casper gasp. 👻
@Cosmichomicide one of mine is a coverup. I don’t have thought or ideas on design but I can say the idea I chose on my second try was much more right for me than the first one. Trust your gut. Wisdom sometimes takes awhile.
Oh, no doubt. I've been coming back to hot air balloons for years and have them incorporated in various ways through my house (old ass Victorian), so I'm pretty comfortable there. Thanks for confirming that for me. 😊
@Cosmichomicide Got no warnings as I don't have any tattoos. (yet)
But bunting, banners, flags, and all the lines on a Victorian-style balloon would probably help cover what you have, or maybe help to incorporate it better.
OMG! I love that steampunk one! And you just inspired me to throw a bunch of prompts into AI and see what shows up. I'd love to bring ideas but not demands.
@Cosmichomicide can we get an idea of what we are working with here? May have some suggestions, but a picture would help.
