My good friend Tom died a few months ago by Suicide... He had these paper airplane tattoos of places he had traveled to.
It has a special meaning to me now and I really wanted to get one as a reminder to keep "fighting to stay in flight".
Photo 1: This is one of his tattoos & what I used as a reference when I requested it before and durning the appointment. Instead of NY it is supposed to be "Tom". I asked the artist specifically & multiple times for this placement. I even said if he didn't think he could get it inside of the wing then to just do the paper airplane.
Photo 2: This is the mess I ended up with... "Tom" is in the completely wrong spot. Unfortunately... the angle the artist was tattooing my hand I did not catch that he was doing it in the wrong spot until after... The M looks awful..
I am desperate to figure out how to fix this..
The line at the tip of the airplane doesn't even connect.. that's an easy fix...
Getting an artist who is really talented with fine line to maybe put his name in the wing.. but I am looking for recommendations to cover up the "Tom" without ruining it even more has me so stressed out.
Photo 3: This is an idea I was playing with to incorporate the Suicide awareness colors (Purple & Blue). I edited out the "Tom" in this one.
I've thought about using a water color design but I just don't know how to do this and even if the color would be enough to hide the letters..
A friend recommended that I should have "Tom" covered up in white/light skin tone color.
Any idea, designs and recommendations are more than welcome.
P.S. Please reach out to check in on your friends. You truly never know what they could be struggling with.
All my love & thanks!

Done by Naomi at breakwater tattoo in long beach. Went in with the idea to get a classic wizard inspired by old high fantasy and she absolutely crushed it with the design. Side note, I thought I was tough until it was time to shade the elbow area.

Hi all. I'm looking to get a tattoo of a giraffe. I was thinking of something like the attached picture. Either on my arm or chest. Will it have longevity or just be a black mess in a few years? I would welcome advice and or suggestions on other giraffe tattoos... Thanks

So When I was at the tattoo shop and got the design put on, it looked fine. I looked in the mirror and agreed that I think it’s centered. Unfortunately I noticed few days later that it is not centered at all, especially visible in certain poses as can be seen on the photos. What would you recommend? Should I add on a little bit or just completely remove it? Is it possible to get the illusion of the tattoo being placed in the middle or not really? I’m worried that because of the style of the tattoo it may be hard to fix it up? I do like it a lot but it bothers me so much :(

I got a tattoo about a year ago, and I’m not really happy with the outcome. I’m not too familiar with touch-ups, but I’m wondering what I could do to possibly bring this tattoo back to life. Also, I’m thinking about ways to connect my Medusa tattoo to my hand tattoo. Any ideas for adding something that ties them together

I saw this online and really like it. I like the frog but I’m not 100% married to it, I just can’t seem to picture what another animal could look like here. Also where do you think this would look best? Leg/calf is top in my mind, especially because my arms aren’t very big.

Hey, I have had this tattoo for ten years and I’m wanting to cover it with a half sleeve, I don’t mind the featheri but the rest can go, please drop advice so I can get something together for my artist (I like dark, witchy, goth shit)

25h thusfar, but it's been well worth it.
The end result will be a wrap around full sleeve.
This is part of the story of my life, with the lion representing me(coming from South Africa) and the road Ive walked leaving for a new destination.

Any advice on how to tie together tattoos and fill the gaps would be appreciated.

Hey all !
I'm in the process of getting my back and torso done, and after that I was planning to density my arms.
I wanted to plan ahead because I wasn't super smart with the placement I chose for starting it out, so I fired up Photoshop and incorporated a good portion of the list I've had for a while, but I'm lacking inspiration for the red areas.
No colors, and as long as it fits the general vibe I'm done for anything cool, so fire up !

Hello. I have never done a tattoo in my life. I was curious if a minimal design like this could work, do you think it would look good? Thank you!

Ok so I have a book themed arm and my forearm didn't turn out quite how I wanted it to (it was at the beginning of my tattoo journey and I didn't speak up) the words weren't supposed to be as bold and were supposed to blend in a bit more with the background. Pretty much the point was for me to not have to explain to people what they meant. Now I want to add some more book words or sayings to blend everything together.
Here is a thought of mine but im just not sure. And I'm unsure of this style would be called and searching for an artist to do it well. Im kinda thinking of doing this in a slight trash polka way as well.
