  3. I have a butterfly with my ex husbands name in it. We have been divorced for almost 9 years, and I’ve had a lot going on and never got it covered. My ex was very abusive both physically and mentally not just to me, but also to my son (his step son since the age of 1) I’m constantly reminded of this horrible time in our lives! Also, I’ve remarried to my 7th grade crush who was my best friend back then and now. He is my Angel sent to me when I gave up on a man and had the worst self esteem ever… which I still carry a lot of! My husband is and I had a baby and he’s a wonderful Dad to all my kids….However, when we have sex, one of our favorite positions is him behind me. You can imagine how he must feel when we’re doing it and he gets to see my ex husbands name on my back-shoulder. I really want a great cover-up that will somehow go with my.whole back tattoo that I’m getting sometime!

  5. I have a large pot leaf on my right arm that was done when i was 18. It was performed with 3 sewing needles duct taped together, and we used Indian ink. I am now 37 and a father of three daughters, 15,12,&6. I have asked local shops to cover but they say its too difficult. I don’t regret my past, however I don’t like the constant reminder or the looks and questions my children’s friends parents give me. It’s a bad reflection on them and i would love for it to be over with.

  8. I had a tiger tat done on my right upper arm,it turned out like a cartoon climbing my arm,so i trusted this guy i recently met to do a cover up,i have seen some of his tattoo work on other people from around the neighborhood,it all looked great,so i said ok,he turned it into a half sleeve of crap,i was so upset about the direction it was going so i stopped him from touching me with another needle,now it looks like a cross between cyborg/torn skin and innerds/hoses with a skull look made into it with a tattoo gun stuck in there also….i went to other shops to have it repaired or covered and they had no idea what to do with it except make it all black,HELP!

  9. I was 15 and did a tattoo with a sewing needle and thread it is of a woman with a banner flowing around her body with stars and a moon. It looks like a horse. I hate it so bad I want to cut it off of my arm everytime I look at it. I own a business and I am sometimes asked what is on my arm.

  13. I went to prison in 2003 for 5 years. While there I got a really large and bad tattoo of a vision that I had wanted. Needless to say most of it wasn’t a very good job. It’s uneven and mostly unfinished for such a large piece. All the shops I’ve visited don’t want to have anything to do with it and I guess I can’t blame them. Still I live daily with this reminder of a beautiful idea and a bad result. I believe this would be a real challenge for whoever thinks they’re up for it. Who’s got it in them? Will send a picture whenever wanted.

  17. I have a unicorn on my shoulder that everyone makes fun of. My friend has joked to have a benefit to raise money to get me a “real” tattoo. Got it to impress girlfriend because she liked unicorns at the time. Didn’t impress her at all. Now embarrassed to show it to anyone. Would love a cover up. Thanks.
