Flowers in Pastel

Starting with the existing rose, I reworked the rose  and then added the free flowing flowers. Soft colors and spring flowers make this unique tattoo.

Tattoo cover up revealed! Scandal over.

Tattoo cover up is revealed. Step by step how I covered up the past and created a new tattoo. Maybe you or someone you know has a reminder of their past that they would rather  erase, well if it is tattooed in your skin then the best answer is a tattoo cover up. No matter what the old tattoo is the final results should be something that you would want to have and that it covers up.

 What works and what does not work, as a tattoo cover, is important when considering reworking your tattoo. Not everything will work. Check out the results that your artist has gotten with other cover ups, those result should not be some big black blob. The finished tattoo should look like it belongs on that body part and not awkward.  Think before you ink! And follow RoseCityTattoo@twitter.com

Flower tattoo celebrating spring.

For me, it is always fun tattooing flowers. The free flowing lines can lead anywhere you want. This tattoo started with the lily and butterfly, they needed to be more connected and brightened up. Adding the blue flowers creates a contrast to the orange of the lily.

Tattoos Mistakes, Think before you ink!

 Sorry to disappoint Mike, but your name won't be there forever like you may have thought. Tattoo that seemed like a great idea at the moment may need some rethinking in the future and a cover up may be the only solution. Think before you ink!
 With some creativity and vision a design is thought up and sketched and soon the old tattoo is transformed.
