Hi i'm new here and am interested in Going over my old tattoo.
The Tat is on my chest and is about the size of a closed fist, Its quite faded and light blue.
Just wondering if a new tattoo can go over the top and completely cover the old one.
I would appreciate and info you guys could give me.
Thanks.

If it's blue, it'll definitely be easier to cover up than if it was black. The artist may even be able to incorporate parts of the blue old one into the new one. It's a definite possiblity. Make sure you find an artist with a lot of imagination and patience Smile

a good artist can do a cover up that you would barely know there was a tattoo there before. seems like in your case since its faded and light blue you should be money. what are you getting?

Thanks guys, You put my mind at ease a little, I'm not sure what i'm going to get just yet. I just wanted to do a little research to make sure it'll work first. Maybe i could take a pic and put it up on here , I'd realy appreciate any ideas you may have. Where might i be able to upload a pic? I cant seem to find it.
