If there's a will to tattoo your skin, there's a way to mess it up. Luckily, even if it doesn't pan out, you don't have to wear the disappointment forever. There are a couple of approaches to saving your image. This time, we'll focus on cover-ups.
They can either completely hide the old design or incorporate some of its elements into the new one, and it's amazing how big of a difference they can make.
From an alien transforming into a cat to a cross "growing" into a tree, here are some of the best cover-ups we found on the subreddit r/FixedTattoos.
