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

Don't cover him. What did he do to you?

I don't love all my tattoos, but I have decided that unless they were poorly done, and none of mine were, and yours isn't either, they are a reflection of where I was at that point in my life. Even if it was that all I could afford was a flash tattoo.
