My new cover up tattoo
 

Have spent most of the afternoon being worked on by the very gorgeous and talented Kirsty from Pulse in Northampton, i have been wanting to get this tattoo covered over for a good few months but couldnt find a design that i liked and would work, and a tattooist i was happy with!
Finally found a design i liked (with treacles help) and took it in to see kirsty to see what she could do, this is the result:

Kirsty free handed/drew all the flowers and butterfly and kitten wings, traced the kitten from the design, i let kirsty choose colours and style of the flowers but said i wanted kitten same as design.



end result:

Took just under 2 hours from drawing to final result and cost........£90 :cool:, plus a £10 tip to kirsty as she is soooo good!
really happy with it and it hardly bled which is unusual for me! lol

cute isnt it :D, i let kirsty choose the colours etc as she knows what will work-basically just let her loose on me with a tattoo gun lol! but ive seen her work before and she re-worked my puss in boots (as in from shrek 2 ;) ) so i knew she was good.:cool:

You can see it if you look closely but that doesnt bother me, tbh the old tattoo didnt bother me, just looked old and naff now so wanted something abit more decent, really pleased with how its turned out :D, even thinking of adding to it-eg more butterflies/flowers going up my side

Yeyy nice one Paws, I like it.

Can't believe what a wikkid job she's done and you can't see ya old one at all !! :smt023
