Thought I would change this to a thread that might be a bit more worthy of checking out. Got Any Tattoos? Want to show them off?,Thinking off a coverup?Any Tattoo Ideas or Questions? This is the place to discuss it Not too sure if any of you are into ink. But i thought i would post a few pics of a journey I am going through. Got a bodgy tiger tat a few years ago while smoking too much shabs and have started a coverup with USA Tattooist Marco Serio www.marcoserio,com. Heres some pics of the dodgy tiger and the outline i got done today I'm hoping the shading covers it up and the 11hrs I'm booked in for gets the work finished as I am going to be paying this mistake off with interest for 2years and 9 months. ![](http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj292/petepunter/tiger.jpg) ![](http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj292/petepunter/koi1.jpg) ![](http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj292/petepunter/koi1.jpg)

I'd like to know more about the lead up to the dodgy tiger!
Was there any arguments about the quality of the guy's work? Or were to too wasted at the time?

bit of a ink fan myself...havent had any cover ups( although i'm thinking about it)...know an artist or two here in Gosford and they all say that a excellent cover-up is one of the true marks of a top flight ink slinger...good luck Tat, so far its looking good

I was at a bucks night with a friend that just got out of jail and I got him his first root since jail from a ice fiend of a chick I noticed the shabs wasn't doing much too them so i thought i would have a try bad mistake i went crazy for two weeks got the tiger done and ended up in the psych ward at the end of it. I was too wasted at the time to complain but when my mind was better I did go back in and they said there was nothing they can do about it. I thought i was stuck with poor judgement until my friend said to ring up the dept of fair trading a few weeks ago which i did and they investigated. The artist is no longer at the shop and I would have to had a coverup performed by someone in the same shop which I wasn't keen on or a $400 refund for the tiger. I just told them don't worry about it as I am glad it was so light i didn't need any laser sessions on it

I always wanted one since i was 14 so I ended up getting it from experience now I would say make sure you go with a good artist. But as my mate thats been in jail said the tiger tattoos are bad luck in jail because a tiger is always alone in the jungle and you don't want to be alone in the jungle

What's the significance of the motif? Looks like a very slick Japanese fish design, would that be Koi?
