How the hell do you cover up a weed leaf tattoo? - GoFuckYourself.com

bo$$ · 04-24-2009, 04:15 PM

The stupidest thing I ever done was probably when I got my giant buddha leaf on my upper right arm.

I really want to get it covered up, so I went to InkaDinkaDoo (top class tattoo shop here in pittsburgh) , they said they really couldnt see what they could cover it up with

I was thinking a pin up, but that wont even fucking fit.

Any ideas on what I can get it covered up with?

Dont even say a fucking penis or anything smart like that

How about a dragon? I got a dragon tattoo on my back during my drunken frat days back in college.

Got a pic of the tatt? might be easier to visualize and come up with ideas.

PurrrsianPussyKat · 04-24-2009, 04:21 PM

Xxxotic had half his arm sleeved to cover up some old tattoos and it came out awesome. You can see pics over on medium pimpins webmaster board.

I'd post a link, but well.. ya know. LOL
I just searched for tattoo over there and the thread was the 13th thread returned.

Meh. Im not into dragons, they make good tattoos but I like to put tattoos on my body that symbolize me, like how I love money, I got a c-note tat, I love pussy so I got a few naked woman tats, etc.

96ukssob · 04-24-2009, 04:21 PM

could always go with a giant 8ball

BVF · 04-24-2009, 04:23 PM

That's strange because I just got finished reading a thread on another board about how Pharrell is getting a skin graft to remove his tattoes:

i guess this the new thing now 50 cent remove his now pharrel

According to hiphopdx.com, the N.E.R.D frontman revealed this week to Brittish Vogue that his tattoos no longer fit his lifestyle and so he is trying a revolutionary new tattoo removal procedure, which involves applying replicated skin over old body art.

"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you," he explained. "First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."

The current--and most common-- form of tattoo removal is laser treatment which is not only a lengthy process, but excruciatingly painful. The new grafting procedure should be a faster, less painful alternative.

Sound pricey? That's because it is. While Pharrell wouldn't give exact numbers, he did say that regardless of the price he plans to go ahead with the procedure:

"It's going to be pricey, but worth it," "I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man!"

If I had the money, plus the pain tolerance I would. I heard it can cost up to $10k to get it fully removed. Just easier to get it covered with more ink

The problem with a weed leaf is it's a blob of green.. So the size and location will dictate how easy it is to cover up..

If the shop told you they had no ideas it's cause they suck.

Fair enough. Tattoos are very personal and should symbolize what one "is all about". The dragon tattoo pretty much summed me up back in college. Now that I'm older, I'd probably pick something else. Anyway, I kinda view my tattoo as a 'wearable time capsule'

I think your approaching it all wrong. Don't go to the tat shop and say "I got this and I want it covered up" Then everybody starts thinking "hummm' What could cover that up"

Instead, just come up with what ever you want for you next few piece's and then , take those ideas into the shop , either pre-sketched or a picture , or whatever. Then let the artist tell you "we could use this one to cover that up" or - "I could do something like that to totally hide that leaf"
Point is, give the artist something to work with. That way they feel like they can make it their own. Most artist's HATE going over someone's work, But they like having "cover-ups" in their portfolio (makes them feel better than the first guy)

It's not about what could cover this up.
Question is, what do YOU want for your next piece ?

collegeboobies · 04-24-2009, 08:58 PM

They could put a red circle around it with a slanted line going through it.

good idea, but them he will have stoners giving him a dirty look in public

I covered a weed leaf on a guy once with a peacock, blending the feathers into the leaf, work out nice and looked good

webair · 04-24-2009, 09:29 PM

turn it into a bonsai tree

I was thinking about that, but I love weed.

Im probably just going to turn it into a large circle and making it a tit or something. Idk. Ill probably regret that as well in a few years

Disclaimer yall;

Think before you get tattoos

gunsmoke · 04-24-2009, 11:31 PM

NaughtyVisions · 03-14-2010, 10:49 AM

Use this to fade it, and then it will be easier to get a new one over it, if that's what you want.

mmcfadden · 03-14-2010, 10:53 AM

cover with some paper and smoke it

ShellyCrash · 03-14-2010, 11:28 AM

Just go to another shop.

Doing a good cover up is a skill, not everyone can do it well. Someone can be great at tattooing but not be that talented at dong coverups.

It's hard to say w/o seeing it, but the main thing to keep in mind is whatever you cover it with the design has to actually cover where the ink is on your current tattoo. To cover a pot leaf with a pin up girl is probably pretty impossible, Pin up tattoos are mostly open skin, there's nothing to cover, you would see the pot leaf right through her.

Post a pic and I can make some suggestions, but in the end it will be left up to the skill of the artist who does it. When you walk into a shop ask to see some examples of cover ups they've done will give you a good idea of what they can do. A good cover-up artist will find a way to work it into a new design, a lazy one will cover it with an 8ball or soemthing almost straight black.

Luscious Media · 03-14-2010, 11:54 AM

Green Man. I'm getting a coverup done with something along these lines. I'll eventually have something better drawn up. There are all kinds of meanings behind it but I thought it fit me well because I love money and it's my nickname at the casino bar.

fatfoo · 03-14-2010, 12:03 PM

You can get your tattoo removed with a laser.
