cover tattoo another tattoo

Is it easy to cover/change an existing tattoo with another?

I have a sun tattoo on my back, have had it for about 12 years. It’s about 2 inches, standard size. The colors are red in the middle and a light purple on the outside. It looks sort of alternative. I now want to change the shape a little. I still want a sun but more of a orange, yellow sun. Would this be possible to do without making the tattoo much bigger??

You’ll probably have to get the tattoo bigger if you want it covered up. It’s hard to cover something up without something else to distract from it. It might be doable though, you should ask an artist their opinion. You shouldn’t have a problem since it’s an older tattoo. If you just don’t like the colours or how it has aged, you can get it enhanced by making new colours etc. but it would still be the same tattoo.

I would say think about the idea of having a bigger tattoo and if this is really important to you or if you just want it changed a bit. If it’s really bugging you, take a look at pictures of what you want, bring it in to the artist when you ask them about the tattoo in general and see what they say.
