Okay, I realized that I made a huge mistake getting the tattoo on my shoulder. . . I have a pic in the Gallery, Animal tattoos/wildcats, just look for my name. . . anyway, its a rele big tattoo. too big, in fact. . . I was thinking, if I could find a way to fade it, and have a tattoo artist go over it a few times with white ink, to lighten it up a bit, would that work, to put something else around it? It was an idea that was brewing. . . My tattoo faded alot, its not as black as the picture I put in the gallery, its more like. . . Blue-ish. I made a mistake choosing my artist, and he did a really shitty job on it. I was just curious as to if I could atleast fade it, by letting the sun get to it a bit, and then having another artist go over it with white ink. Atleast enough to put something over it, anyway

White ink may work but you have to remember that white ink often turns yesslowish and off color esp when its used in mass amounts...thats why you rarely see all white tattoos...

Your also looking at spending alot and extra healing time and the fact that it might not work and you may need a few sessions.

If you want to get it covered you may want to look into wrecking balm...although it doesnt completely remove it it does fade them quite a bit

Or even lok at getting lasered treatment on it as it is really dark.
