Great advice bro

sweet, i'm glad my tattoo isn't super dark, it's mostly red with a touch of black. I'm thinking about getting it covered with a raven. What i planed was something that still incorporated the red too, i don't hate the tattoo but i'm looking for something different. Out of curiosity, if i told a tattoo artist the above would they get me a vague idea? or is it better to bring in my own drawing of what i want?

Doesn't laser tattoo removal cause cancer?

[@kellioferie]

What sort of laser removal did you do?

[@FluffyPotatoFish]

Can I get a tattoo removed and then redone? At least to where it's fairly faded and basically a cover up tattoo over the faded one?
