Adding to current tattoo next week

[lockdownrainbow]

See below had flower tattoo a while ago I have drawn petal on to see what it would look like. Do I get one petal as I have drawn or get two petals what looks best

🤣
Nice drawing, it's a bit sujestive. Would you consider two leaves or every three.

I would suggest getting a full cover up to be honest.
At least make it worth your time, money and improve it.

A good tattooist should advise the best thing and best way

Please, please go to a different person than whoever did the original one. I'm sorry, but it is not good work. Aside from anything else, the black is patchy and uneven.

Personally I would recommend that you look at what beautiful work is available, and then find a new tattooist who can do a piece of art, especially as it is in your hand.

Do you want petals or leaves? It looks like you’ve drawn a leaf?

Yeah, sorry but I agree. My sister is a tattooist and could transform what you have into something really beautiful (big part of any tattooist's job is fixing other people's work...)

I wouldn't have known that was a flower 🤔
You've drawn a leaf, I don't think it really fits. Maybe work with a tattoo artist to draw a design that suits?

If you're going to have a leaf I'd have it go the other direction so it is falling off your wrist. Looks weird wrapping around.

But It's does look like a prison tat so maybe get someone really good to have a look and suggest a few things.

Scrap it and start again. Total cover up.

😬

Ignore the red line (I was drawing the next part of the tattoo on the photo!) but I had a cover up done

A leaf , prison tat I love it !!!
All my tattoos done by the same tattooist I love all of them was just asking if I should get one leaf or two so it looks more like a flower

I don't want a cover up but never wanted it just like that wanted leafs

Two leaves would make it more obviously a flower.

Going for below leaf design going to get one or two leafs added can't decide

Leaves come from a stem though, rather than from the flower

Agree with others that you should find a new tattooist. It looks like a wonky cog not a flower. Getting a phallic leaf stuck on it won't improve it.

I was thinking its a flower when you look from above can just see the flower and leafs , aerial view

It's a 60s flower the flower power ones

I would never guess your current tattoo is a flower.

Assuming the same tattoo artist is capable of the leaf in your second picture, if they put such a sharply defined image onto your current blotchy/misshapen tattoo it would look totally out of place.

It's the design I wanted he copied a pic I gave him the tattoo has bubbled up abit as I knocked it when it was healing I love my flower just want a leaf

My tattooist can do any image you show him I have 13 other designs

It already has petals, so you'd be adding leaves. One or two makes no difference it will look odd.

Just keep as is it is or do a cover over.

You don’t want full leaves for the effect you want - you want half leaves, one each side.
