Back Cover-Up

Cherub Fix

Misunderstood

This client took the previous 'artists' word for it instead of checking his portfolio for herself - and she ended up with a tattoo she was so ashamed of that she hasn't been to a swimming pool yet this Summer (rib piece). She's happy now. :)

Stone Tribal Add-On

Added some stone tribal down to the wrist, also brought some of the red tribal down throughout to integrate it all.

Spiderweb Cover-Up

Covering up a spiderweb is NO JOKE! Whew!

Pawprints in the Sand Cover-Up

by LaBello

A flower representing his mother as a start on covering up/fixing this quarter sleeve. The flower is specifically covering up some footprints (previous tattooist) that didn't look Human at all and were really bugging the client...

Stone Cross Fix

Nautical Star Overhaul

by LaBello

The previous artist made some classic beginner mistakes - used a thick needle to hide shaky lines, ended each point with a dot making it look like a 'sheriff's star' lol, also notice the scar right in the middle of the 'before' star where he went over and over the same spot - this is the most common amateur mistake on nautical star tattoos... The fix turned out really nice, though I may have to touch it up at some point because scar tissue doesn't like to hold ink sometimes.

Black and Gray Harley Cover-Up

Flower vs. Stars: The Cover-Up

by LaBello

Stars? What stars? Freehand flower and hummingbird.

Bye Bye Jerry!

by LaBello

This one was difficult - the shop that did the original 'Jerry' really dug it into her.

Crooked Tattoo Fix

As a fix for a name that wasn't centered on the arm properly, I added a scroll. Widening the tattoo with the scroll as well as situating the top of the scroll flaps toward the right of his arm, work together to divert the eye from the off-center error. Also tightened up the lettering with smooth lines and solid black.
