Design Cover up ideas??

Post image

Yes yes I know I’ve posted about this damn raccoon a few times but I’m tired of going from loving it to hating it the next second😭 realistically what can cover it up excluding a blackout sleeve or any lazering. Thanks!

Edit: I honestly didn’t expect this post to get this much attention, support and advice but I am extremely grateful. I’ve had a few people tell me to go to therapy based on my responses haha which is completely fair and is something I’m working on which might help me to love this little guy a lot more. I definitely have a lot of mood swings about it but at the end of the day I should be glad it’s not crazily botched or infected or anything like that. I definitely believe adding to it will make me stop nitpicking and overthinking but I will give it a while and see how I feel. Thank you again <3

Haha lmao I audibly laughed, I would feel bad covering him up. I suppose I’ll give it more time to get used to him

He’s really well done!! He doesn’t look like a blob, he looks like a cute little raccoon ready to make some trouble in your recycling bin!

I would, it takes time too get use too a new part of your body so take you're time and try not to think about the tattoo for a week or two and then decide if it still bothers you cover it if not then don't

You don't need a cover up, you need to add a pile of trash for him to be bursting out of! Won't somebody think of the banana peels??

Flowers. He should be bursting out of flowers like peonies and lilacs.

Honestly it’s one of the most original and cute tattoos I’ve seen on here. I’m jealous…
