    Hi everybody, been on Boards a while but dont think I've ever posted. I got this tattoo nearly two years ago in Wicklow Town. I had just turned 18 and had wanted a tattoo for ages so I decided on this. I dont regret it, I just think that it's very plain and the shading is quite poorly done!

    I was just looking for maybe some examples of your tattoos that have been covered/redone/added to? Or some advice on which would be the better option. And I know that it's better to go in and talk to the artist etc. but I'm just trying to generate some ideas that I can build on!

    Cheers :)

    I don't think it need's covering up, it looks fine. I'd love to add to it, maybe get a bit of colour.

    I wouldn't cover it up if you like it, but some lines look thinner than others, so maybe get the lines sorted out in it.

    I'd definitely add some bright colour to it to jazz it up a bit, though!

    I guess it really depends on your opinion of star tattoos... :/

    Cheers for the feedback! I think the shading just makes it look a bit messy..Was thinking of getting like red shades in the stars and shading done like this 37234_1389877500295_6671232_n.jpg But I dunno if the current shading will prevent that?

    PLEASE don't get the stars done in two colours like it's done in the pic. That design is ridiculously overdone, every second person has it at this point.
