Any chance of saving this lettering?

You can see this text has seen better days… now I dunno if I can have the thin lines thickened or if it can’t be saved

Help! How do I make it look like a spider :(

Hey guys, so recently I decided to be a dummy and let my beginner friend tattoo me. Thought I could go with a cool spider on my stomach like shizuku from hxh, and although it’s not terrible I just can’t help but lowkey see it as a fat spider. Should I put a red hourglass on top and just say fml? I’m gonna cry right now lol

Coverup artists in SoCal?

Looking for tattoo artists who specialize in coverup tattoos. Preferably in the IE (Riverside County), or LA and OC counties.

Need ideas for the spider. I want to keep the snake but re-invision it… I’m thinking a lion or a sword slashing into it? Whatever it is, I want the snake to be overpowered/defeated (no longer team devil I’m riding with the Lord) lol. and I want that fiery black glob (aka “sun”) covered up! That’s got to go. It’s terrible.

Not loving the symmetry

I just got these and I’m not loving the symmetry, I want to maybe add to the right one but don’t know how to do it to make it look intentional, I was originally starting with a patchwork sleeve but feel like maybe adding a bigger piece of flowers would balance it out more. What are your thoughts?

Been feeling split.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with this tattoo on my calf. I've had a laser session on it and been reconsidering wether i want all of it gone or just some. I might wanna keep the roses, getting some colour and detail in there. I just really don't like the wolf. People have complimented me on it but it doesnt suit me personanlly. I might just get some extra flowers around the roses once the wolf is fully lasered. Do you think it's worth saving the roses or just completly getting rid of this?
