Some may question it, but the artist who did the portrait on the left truly used the same reference image. I made sure to place the stencil exactly where the eyes and ear were, and it fit perfectly. This is quite rare, and usually, I would suggest using laser removal. He could still laser some smaller areas, like the headband and part of the shirt, but since he’s a family member of my wife and we see it regularly, it’s hardly noticeable anymore.
MUCH better!
Doing the lord’s work on this one
That’s one of the best glow up fixes I’ve seen. Nice! Good for you
Neat! Always love seeing how other artists pull off teeth.
I think you’re a miracle worker wow
Fucking magic, that’s what I think.
It is so good it’s unbelieveble!
Oh hey, your the person that posted the post malone portrait yesterday, great back story to that and for this tattoo you changed it from a cover up to a glow-up, you’re an artist when it comes to portraiture (I’ll check out your other stuff too).
That’s such an amazing cover-up! You beyond saved thar tattoo- nice work!
insane save for this dude
well done
My God. Jesus, what a difference. What did you think when that first person did that tattoo on you? That person should NOT be tattooing btw. Your new tat is just amazing. Phenomenal artist.
Fantastic job! I’m sure they’re really happy.
That kid’s been redeemed! Excellent job, fellow redditor!
oh it got sooo much betterr!
Reddit thinks your a goddamn legend … very Nice!
Very nice!!!!
drastically improved it !!
Strikingly better.
Gone from looking like something onboard the black pearl to photo realism. Good job OP
I think what you did is called exorcism
This is awesome!!! You did a very good thing here!
That’s unbelievable!
Saved a portrait would be more fitting
great job 👍
Wowza looks amazing ! Sooo much better I’m sure the client was thrilled
It’s beautiful
That’s fucking impressive
Wow! Such great work.
I hate portrait tattoos but you surely improved this situation.
My boy Joey knocked it out the park
Well I can’t judge how similar it is to the photo since you didn’t post it, but obviously in execution it looks 500% better
Saved it
Oh wow that’s a great improvement. You did an awesome job.
Looks better
the coverup looks like a real photo you edited on your leg. they did an incredible job. i have NEVER liked a portrait tattoo until now.
Amazing fix!
i think you’re a fucking miracle worker, holy shit
Very nice !!!
This is why you don’t get a friend who can do it cheaper, the second artist clearly knew what they were doing, amazing fix.
amazing work holy cow
Well done.

From smeagol to a person
WOW! That is some incredible work!
And that over an existing tattoo, well done! Absolutely incredible work! 👍
This is amazing, I can only imagine that the client was absolutley over the moon. This is priceless.
