Question: Possible to cover-up/redesign?
Got an upper arm sleeve I got done when I was 18, 16 years ago. It’s Aztec-inspired, and I have no relation to that what so ever.
I'm considering changing it, but I'm unsure what's actually realistic here. Understand that a light cover-up is ofc not possible.
What I dont want:
- full blackout sleeve
- laser removal (prefer to avoid that route)
What I do like:
- geometric patterns / abstract blackwork
- modern ornamental or structured designs
My question is basically:
Is it realistically possible for a skilled artist to rework something like this into a modern geometric/blackwork sleeve that doesn’t read as Aztec anymore?
