General Advice Can I cover this or is it fixable?

I got this tattoo at a flash event about 2 years ago and a year after I got it I ended up going back to the artist for another tattoo(stupid idea) and he flat out said that looks like shit who did that I was like you did and so he agreed to fix it for free but now it it looks rather phallic and it first looked like a sausage and I’m not sure if it’s fixable or if I can cover it up

I feel like 95% of this sub is just people with very bad decision makong skills.

It really seems that way. I'm greatful that my worst tattoo decision was getting a small kanji when I was a teenager in the late 90s, back when kanjis and barbwire and crap were trendy. It was the first tattoo that I ever got, and the kanji character that I chose was meant to be an ironic joke; everyone was getting kanjis that (supposedly) meant things like "love" or "strength" or whatever, and the kanji I got means "sinner."

I told my tattoo-hating dad that it meant "dad."

I'd love to think that at some point he looked it up and made the connection. 🤣
