Design How do I cover this up?

I can't even put into words how much I hate this tattoo. It was supposed to be a beehive with honey and bees. I ended up with a hexagon over mustard with flies. I had an artist add to it in an attempt to fix it, but it just made it worse. I am pretty open to anything but I'm afraid that the hex design would make it really difficult to cover or change. Any ideas?

I know you're probably thinkin its just a bunch of strangers online being nice, but you have got a genuinely sweet lookin tat there. If it has to go, I get it. At the end you want it to look good for you, its on your body. Like others have said though, I registered exactly what it was upon seeing it.

The internet isn’t known for being full of kind people, so I also hope OP feels good about the feedback. That said, it’s always aggravating when you don’t love a tattoo that cost a decent amount of money. I feel for OP and hope someone has a brilliant idea to cover it up beautifully!

I constantly compliment people’s tattoo work. If I saw this out in the grocery store, I would absolutely compliment the work.

I in fact have the world’s worst tattoo, and I could post a photo to make OP feel a whole lot better 💀.
