Getting a tattoo cover-up is not as simple as it was the first time you acquired your tattoo. (I was going to finish the previous sentence with 'last time you walked into a tattoo studio', but the odds are that it wasn't a registered tattoo studio you went to).
We all have regrets and should-of-could-of moments, unfortunately a bad tattoo can a moment that remains in our line of vision forever.
Initially you probably thought a tattoo was one off opportunity, and technically that is the case, but with the talent out there in the tattoo industry, there is the hope that you can have another amazing tattoo inked over the top.
Whether you've changed your mind about liking your tattoo design, grown up a decade or two, or possibly the then love of your life Candy or Gavin, have now evolved into psychopathic stalkers whom you stay very, very far away from.
Some of us can even claim to have an amazingly crap tattoo, from a so-called professional tattoo studio, that we didn't do our homework on. Then there is the Tattooist (I can't call them a Tattoo Artist), who dishes out designs and colours they like, not considering the clients taste or request.
And of course the 'accidents' or 'stuff-ups'. The tattoos that just didn't turn out the way they were meant to, either due to lack of talent on behalf of the artist, lack of experience or the tattoo was poorly designed for its location on the body.
Whichever way you've acquired your second rate tattoo, wanting to get rid of it or at the very least, disguise it is not unusual. There are some limitations on how you can cover-up an old or bad tattoo with another higher quality tattoo design. But there are also success stories of people who now love their cover-up tattoos, as apposed to wanting to burn them off with acid.
