Covering up my old tattoo

[hateraid]

I've had this tattoo and it's a little dated. Just a plain red cross on my right arm. Had it for 18 years now.
My boy who has his own shop traded me out $300 worth of supplements and he's doing a piece for me for free.
The cross is going to be covered up with a bed of roses (my wife's name is Rose)
On top of the Roses will be an Angel (my name)
The face of the angel will be the image of my son. Wings are going to be on the back and across the chest.

Anyways, it's going to at least 3 sessions he says. I'll post pics when it's done.
Meanwhile here's a pic of what it looks like now (plus a little cheese for the ladies :lol )

Nice at least its not solid black so it won't be TOO hard to cover up. I had one of mine covered up so i can get it redone bigger somewhere else and you can't see it at all

[DukeDelonte13]

if price was no issue, would you rather have the cover up or just get the old one removed?

The bed of roses was really clever. The way he drew it on the trace paper was really good. I can't go lower than the bottom end of the cross so only way to build was up and around the chest and back

Cover up no doubt. I love how a tattoo is a unique expression of yourself and a way to identify you. My tat has meaning so it's that much more precious to me.

[Draz]

That sounds very cool. I like the meaning to it. Tbh, I think that's how tats should be done, have meaning to the owner.

tbh i'd hit

You got some backne here. You on the hard "supplements" here?

:facepalm

Another example of how tattoos are fashion statements.

Keywords "dated" as mentioned by OP and now it has "meaning" and "unique"

The reason why he's covering it up because he got credit from the supplements so he has to spend it.

The real solution is just get it removed. Since you are trying to build your body, why even put graffiti on it.

It's easier to remove the cross than an entire cover-up. You're going to regret it down the road like you are wit the cross.

Watch as that new tattoo stretches or shrinks since when building your body.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. it's a lot of dough to do a cover up. I glad my buddy takes supplements

Why you so bothered by this? I've wanted to do this for a while, my friend takes suppy's. Fair trade. It doesn't affect my job and I can get something professionally done over a quick trace I did when I was a kid :confusedshrug:

What are you rambling about? Why would I write something to you when you weren't even a part of this thread? Did you forget to switch usernames?
And no, I did not write something to either of your accounts

Nada. I get this when I lose a mass amount of weight. I was 155 there down from 163. It goes away. If I was on sauce I would be way more ripped to shreds

When I juice, I get "ballcne."

I don't recall ever encountering you on any subject. I've always steered clear of conflict unless it's personal so you may have pegged the wrong guy. Or maybe the problem is you getting into too many conficts you think everyone has words with you :confusedshrug:

:lol
I gotta coin that term. Maybe come up with a supplement that prevent ballcne!

[outbreak]

Be careful getting a face done man, nearly every time I see someone try to get a real face done it turns out really really really bad. If it's a friend doing it for free I'd be even more worried.

It's more of a likeness. But in any case I really trust the guy. He works in a well known shop and only takes on specific clients.

hateraid, thoughts on Gaspari Nutrition?

I saw them in the news the other day

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/14/tests-of-supplements-craze-and-detonate-find-methamphetamine-like-compound/2968041/

I'm in a position where I really can't talk down about our competitor, but Rich's (Gaspari) products seem to always get put through the ringer. All the way from back in the days when they started with Superpump.

I've heard a lot about Craze over the past couple of years. They really pushed the ingredient dendrobium as the key ingredient which Craze it's claim to fame. I guess it finally caught up to them.

In most cases when it's too good to be true, it literally is too good to be true. But by the time they are discovered, they made their dough and have solidified a niche market. Bold strategy by some

[NYCPG]

Should've just kept the supplements n used em. Looks like u cud put on some weight

1- If I can afford to give away $300 worth of supplements wouldn't you think I would have easy access?

2- I've been 30lb heavier than that. Sorry, not the look for me
