    have this tattoo on my right arm(163565.jpg) for two years now only getting round to doing this now,looking to get it redesigned,expanded ,covered up,whatever you wanna call it.the orginal design was from the blacksword.jpg(sorry for the size i lost the original and couldn't find any large images online).i wanna have it so the inside of the tattoo is darker(was told when i showed the original image before i got it done that it would look bad too dark,now people think i coloured in my arm cause of the brighter colours:P) and i would like the rim to expand more into flames like its actually on fire on my arm.any recommendations,ideas,even any good sketches of what i could do with it would be great,thanks guys.

    Well, if you want to expand it then it will basically be covered up.
    They will take the original image (Or the one on your arm) and expand everything, refresh the colors,...

    Look at it as if you're stretching it out, but basically they would ink over it with slightly darker colors, so that the old one doesn't show up anymore and you basically get a new tattoo :)

    Go around to a few tattoo places and see if there's anyway to darken the colour as opposed to doing a full cover up tattoo. They're the experts! :D
