Yeah, I'd definitely cover it up. I think the best idea is to get a tattoo artist to design something to cover the whole side of your forearm. I personally like those designs with a lot of drawing with a very abstract background. In your case, you could use some sort of flag as background. Well, I hope it helps...

Thats a tough one. Personally i would not cover it up but i would try maybe turning it into a 1/2 sleeve adding a rose or lion or maybe both. If you wanna stick with the English theme that is. Otherwise going to a tattoo artist with a thew rough ideas. and then letting him/her draw it up for you would prob be your best bet.

I was thinking you could turn the cross into a sheild with English lions on it. You could also add crusade Knights standing either side gaurding it. This would leave them facing each other on the other side of your arm. Or maybe St george standing erect holding his sword on the other side. there is alot of potenial there if you go with the shield idea. but before you make any decesion please think long and hard about it as you don't want to be in this postion in a years time. You should be totally happy with what you decide. I can't wait to see what you go with and i hope i have helped.

No i'm not a tattoist i'd love to have the skill but sadly i do not.
as for paying to get your design done this should not be the case. If you go to any half decent tattoist they will take your ideas and design it for you for free.they wont let u keep it but this is there way of showing u just how good they are and perfecting ur design. talk to an artist and they will tell u all you need to know.ive drawn a very poor design of what sort of thing i was thinking of. ive attached it all u have to do is draw something like it and show it to a tattoist and they will be able to turn it into ur dream tat. i now this is a very bad drawing but its all u need to give the artist the ideas u have. But before u do use any idea i may have given u please think long and hard dont make any rash decissions.
keep me informed tho as i can't wait to see what u come up with.

Thats brilliant i think i might go for the sheild like you have drawn with the lions but maybe bring the point right down at the bottom and have the third lion so its 3 lions that way i can change the design and instead of getting people standing there leave that out for now so its still kept to a minimum so i wont start hating it. thanks for the time ill get something drawn up and hae the print put on my arm and post a pic.
