I have an empty photo booth strip on the backside of my left arm. It’s about an inch and a half wide and nine inches high. The concept was nice to me. Fill it in with the things that i love to represent points of my life. The only thing is that now after I got the strip, I don’t like it. It looks awkward on my arm. Because it’s such a straight line, and my arm never lays perfectly straight the way it was put on it always looks warped or crooked.

So my questionis what could I turn it into so I don’t have to get it removed and can be happy with it?

Thank you so much.

The designs that could cover what you have are only limited to the ability and creativity of the artist covering it. This isn’t really a question we can specifically answer- the best thing to do is find a tattooist who’s work you like, show them the piece and get their feedback….

For cover-ups, it’s best to see healed pictures of their cover-up work. A creative tattooist can cover/rework just about anything- your main goal is to find a tattooist who can really get into your piece. My standard advice is to hit the web to find artists in your area (or where you’re willing to travel to) who’s work you like. Then go in for a consultation, check out their cover-up work and go from there. Anyone who gives you an attitude or treats you like you’re bothering them is someone you probably don’t want to work with anyway. Shop around- for something like this price shouldn’t be a deciding factor- just skill.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!
