Lotus, Swallows and Mandala Back Cover-Up Tattoo

I covered the old floral tattoo across the upper back with pink and blue lotus flowers, adding realistic swallows on either side and fine line mandalas. The petals have layered shading, while dotted ornamental chains and hanging details extend the composition below the flowers.

The before and after photographs show the change from the old magnolia design to the new lotus composition. The Om symbol at the base of the neck remains part of the design.

This large (L) cover-up took two sessions, eight hours in total, using Intenze and Kuro Sumi inks. You can book a consultation to discuss a cover-up for your own tattoo.
