I want a tattoo of an AK-47 on my forearm, where to go?
I have a massive amount of scars on my left forearm so I want to cover it up with an AK-47. Size of my entire forearm basically.
Something like this:
Just looking for an artist who can do a good job and not f' it up.

You need to get 2 AK-47s tats one on each side of your midsection with "THUG LIFE" in between.
Several months ago there's a boomer that works with us and he's this scrawny white guy who got 2 big pistols tatted on his midsection. Just missing the "THUG LIFE" portion lol.

No I don't have any tattoo's but the most amazing work I've ever seen came from these guys:

in Santa Cruz.
Did a wolf for a woman I know and it's almost alive, I didn't realize you could do that with body art.

Fyi. tattoos don't really cover up scars, just make them more colorful. Pick your artist very carefully as scars can do weird things with the ink. Not trying to talk you out of it, just giving you a heads up

Scars are really hard to tattoo, and depending on how big/hard they are sometimes you cannot tattoo over them at all.
Best thing to do is schedule a consultation with an artist so they can look at your arm and judge what they can and cannot do.
Clifton Carter does awesome work and used to work for Ed Hardy at Tattoo City. He now has his own shop:

Nice! That's pretty intense. I bet that would be intimidating all the more to. lol
I've been looking for tat to cover up some surgery scars on my arm, but it's just low enough that i'm afraid it would show when I wear a short sleeve shirt = bad for professional career.
GL!

You in the south bay? Da-Wei in Santa Clara. Ain't cheap, but he does great work. He may not tattoo over a scar though, so best to call them.
