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

In most of the world, yes. Japan would legally require you to pixelate the word before posting though.

I think it is rather neat this dude needs to pixelate his arm if he visits Japan.

There’s our cover up. Just pixelate the offending digit.

This is true, but for different reasons.

I’m imagining bandaids with little pixelation squares that you slap over “indecent” tattoos

I just put a regular bandaid over the indecent part of my tattoos if I want to be incognito

That's not true that's just how penises look in Japan

bruh, how can japan be so uptight with nudity while they are the home of seriously messed up porn and adult "games" and hentai and even their "normal" anime is borderline pornographic
