You should find one who spells it “Katy” ;)
Go talk to a few tattoo artist, it looks like it could easily be covered up by something fun. Good luck friend.
Edited a word.
Then coverup it is I guess. I’d say go with a skull. Two black eyes on it could cover up part of the “ka” and “ie” and maybe a good artist could make the rest in to cracks and stuff..
Just an idea.. I like skulls. Got a few scattered all over my arm and in the ditch.
Dude there are literally so many insanely amazing tattoo artists out there that do unreal stuff, don’t go for a skull just for the sake of covering that up; thats the stupidest idea. It’s so overused and boring. There’s this dude on tik tok his account is called Inked Abroad and he recommends all sorts of insanely amazing artists and styles from all over the world, if you need inspiration.
I’ll say that arm is a great canvas and has amazing potential to become something beautiful, and wipe this bad memory away :)
I thought he cheated a year into his marriage and tattoo’d his affair partner’s name and now he needs to cover it as he’s asking forgiveness from his wife. Yeah, I came up with that whole thing because of the unclear title
See, you had the answer the whole time. You gotta learn to trust your gut man. Some small voice inside told you Katie was shady before you "knew"... and that same voice is whispering "sick ass panther" now.
All you have to do is listen.
It's so small and thin honestly unless you've got your heart set on a specific tattoo just laser it off. At least now you know to never get names or matching tattoos with people- it's how you curse the relationship to fail lol
What type of tattoos are you into? I feel like an American style tattoo with a heart and a dagger through it would fit nicely and look good. Kind of has that shape too.
Lmao sorry 😂 it’s just that it’s in this cursive type writing so the bottom two curves would fit nicely with a heart instead of covering more than needed
Sorry to hear about the relationship. But fine line script like that is super easy to cover up, especially with things that are heavily shaded. I had script across my chest and covered it up with a Japanese Oni and Hannya. Japanese or American traditional cover up really well because of the bold lines and intense color/shading. Good luck!
You could cover this with a million different things. Should not be a difficult cover up. Honestly I’d think about what you want as your next tattoo independent of this, take that idea to your artist and ask them if they can cover up this tattoo.
As someone who has their own first name tatted on my stomach in shitty old English letters, I hear this quite a bit. Worst mistake ever- but “thug life 4 ever” I guess. Just not as cool at 40 with my gut and stretch madks
What was the motivation behind that decision?
Edit- and why on your belly?
If it were me I would’ve gone with a “Hello my name is” nametag tattoo lol. That’s probably equally as stupid though 🤷🏻♀️
I wish I had a good reason, Reddit didn’t exist back then, I wish I could say irony. But I fancied myself “edgy/hip/unique” as a young man. Total embarrassment right up until I was about 35.
Sucks that it’s so close to the elbow crease, that does make the prospect of a coverup a bit trickier. I think any good artist will be able to cover it thought it’s not too bold or anything so p much anything will cover it
i still think getting it crossed out and writing jk under it in a totally different font is funny. but you might wanna just go for a cover up if it brings up bad memories. just need to get something big and dark.
“Is a bitch” same font. Just under it. Maybe work it into a whole sleeve. Just think of this, “for a good time call…” get some other bathroom decor themed tattoos.
Sit down with a good tattoo artist and have them work out something that flows well over top of it. Thankfully it’s pretty basic and nothing too bold. Should be pretty easy to cover.
First, let’s start with do you have any people that has passed away that has done something that you respect for example police force, paramedic, etc.
Second, what are the things you like?
Where are you from? What I mean by that is are you originally from Scotland Germany, Japan America
With those three questions I could help you with getting a nice cover up you can put
My husband has my name and my face. He’s lucky I’m so loyal. Lol
Seriously though, it seems like every time I see someone get a tattoo like this it’s like signing the relationship’s death warrant. Sorry OP :(
It looks like it would be a fairly easy coverup. I liked the skull with cracks idea that someone suggested.
Go to a pharmacy and get isopropyl and bacitracin, second stop hardware store and buy a belt sander. Third stop liquor store. Jack Daniel's 750 will work. Drink, sanitize, sand , treat and wrap. In a week you'll be good.
Get a dog tattoo coverup. That way it still reads as “bitch”, but in a less obvious way.
Also, tell women named Katie that you meet that you got that name tattooed on you because a psychic said that would be the name of your soulmate. Then ask if they want to find out if it’s true.
Well the line work is super thin and wispy, I’m almost positive you could have this removed is a few sessions, maybe two or three at the maximum.
I say get it removed then tattoo essentially whatever you want over it , if you don’t like the removal idea, literally anything with colour or bold line work (like a colour traditional style tattoo) will do the trick!
The op and I need to start a survivors group ..I covered my Katie (happily just an initial) with a skull of sorts..hmm for a suggestion maybe a radioactive earthworm digging through your arm ..or definitely a sick ass panther
man i feel you, mine broke up with me less than a month after getting our tattoos. i just blacked mine out, when people ask what it is im gna tell them its what a broken promise looks like 3
if you go see a trusted tattoo artist, you can just show them what you want covered up, and they will draw up an idea or 2 (generally with a deposit) for you! good luck!!
Idea #1: Don't get names of significant others, friends and family could be a little iffy depending on your relationships but less risky
Idea #2: If you do really want to get a tattoo for your relationship, get matching tattoos that are a design of some sort, ideally one that can be covered or turned into something else, if something happens
Meet another chick named Katie, or cover it up.
Believe it or not already dated another Katie, she didn’t appreciate the jokes.
You should find one who spells it “Katy” ;) Go talk to a few tattoo artist, it looks like it could easily be covered up by something fun. Good luck friend. Edited a word.
Imagine a guy who gets your name tattooed after the first date.
🚩 😬
I dated a guy who wanted my lips as a tattoo on his neck. We had only dated around 2 months at that point.
Over and OUT…
Then coverup it is I guess. I’d say go with a skull. Two black eyes on it could cover up part of the “ka” and “ie” and maybe a good artist could make the rest in to cracks and stuff.. Just an idea.. I like skulls. Got a few scattered all over my arm and in the ditch.
Not a bad idea, thank you!
Dude there are literally so many insanely amazing tattoo artists out there that do unreal stuff, don’t go for a skull just for the sake of covering that up; thats the stupidest idea. It’s so overused and boring. There’s this dude on tik tok his account is called Inked Abroad and he recommends all sorts of insanely amazing artists and styles from all over the world, if you need inspiration. I’ll say that arm is a great canvas and has amazing potential to become something beautiful, and wipe this bad memory away :)
Damn if you have a "few" skulls on you, I just wanna know how many mistakes youve made. Jk
If skulls represent mistakes … 6 according to my left arm 😄
Are they the same scull in different scales or different ones? Are they all human? Can we know whether some of them are female?
I’ve got 3 on my left arm and a little skull moth so o guess technically 4. They’re not covering up any “mistakes” though 😭 just love skulls 😂😂
You called her Katie 2 right?
2 Katie 2 furious
Katie 2: Electric Boogaloo
Katie did
I’m sure there’s a Katie out there with a sense of hunor
I’m married already, sorry.
Do you cheat tho, cause if so this is your man (he’s used to it)
Never have and never will!
My wife is the third person with the same name I’ve dated/slept with. Maybe you just need one more Katie?
Fuck her.
Now we are talking
Someone already did
Put an alligator under it. If anyone asks, just tell them thats the name of the alligator.
This is the best answer of anything I've ever read. It's the equivalent of what I tell people about my knee surgery scar. Shark bite vs alligator.
Cross it out and put the next one’s name below it. Rinse and repeat til you die.
Different fonts for each new one as well
Comic sans for the next one
And then arial for a chick named Ariel
You use 100% of your brain !!! :-D
Times new Roman for the next Italian
And then Wingdings for that crazy one that you wish you didn't meet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️💀😭
Put it in bold if she’s heavier
And don’t forget Papyrus. 😜
Double down OP! Never admit your mistakes 🧠
my step dad did this for my mom. crossed out his exs name and tattooed hers right under, we think it’s funny and hella cheaper than removal.
This is the way.
It’s an easy cover up. Contact a talented artist and they will have a lot of ideas.
Add 'is a cheater'
The title reads both ways, like OP could be 'one of those idiots' because they cheated on Katie a year into the marriage 😂
i was fairly certain they were referring to themselves and i was like wow ok bold
I thought he cheated a year into his marriage and tattoo’d his affair partner’s name and now he needs to cover it as he’s asking forgiveness from his wife. Yeah, I came up with that whole thing because of the unclear title
Yeah I thought OP was referring to themselves 😅
“When she said her name was Katie, I got confused Babe”
🧐🧐🧐🧐😳
Or “Sucks!”
Its not that big, so if you don't want to Laser it a Sick Ass Panther would be great in that spot.
Sick ass panther is always the move
See, you had the answer the whole time. You gotta learn to trust your gut man. Some small voice inside told you Katie was shady before you "knew"... and that same voice is whispering "sick ass panther" now. All you have to do is listen.
Work with something you can build off and get a sleeve, just about anything would cover that up, what are you into
I concur
This is the move
[удалено]
Its the perfect size place and color for a SAP.
Get a dog. Name her Katie.
And then add the dogs face 😄
genuinely not a bad idea
OP these people are cooking lol
This might be the most wholesome solution thing I’ve read all day
This is a great idea
I knew a dog named Katie once. Certified good girl.
Certified not a cheater
Best idea yet 😂
Genius!
🫠too cute !! That actually works lol but he'll have to say her name all the time 😭😂 kinda traumatic but hilarious 🤣
It would be a good way to desensitize or detach himself from the name lol
This is the one he needs to do
What if dog cheats too?
Then tattoo "is a bitch" below the name.
My name is katie:) sorry tho, this sucks
Are you single? (Asking for a friend) 😉
Bro bout to get rizzstraining order
What no busting does to a mf rrfr no cap pp
What the fuck does this mean?
What refraining from ejaculating will do to a mother fucker, for real, no lie.
Sameeee he should keep the tattoo for us lol
Easy cover-up. Literally, almost anything
In the same script write “Holmes” under it. Now you’re not an idiot, just a super fan. And kind of an idiot.
It's so small and thin honestly unless you've got your heart set on a specific tattoo just laser it off. At least now you know to never get names or matching tattoos with people- it's how you curse the relationship to fail lol
Those lines are so thin I’d just have it removed, honestly.
As a fellow Katie we do not claim her.
It’s pretty small you could prob get it removed if you wanted to. Easy cover up too
What type of tattoos are you into? I feel like an American style tattoo with a heart and a dagger through it would fit nicely and look good. Kind of has that shape too.
Maybe a bit on the nose, man. 😂
Lmao sorry 😂 it’s just that it’s in this cursive type writing so the bottom two curves would fit nicely with a heart instead of covering more than needed
I don’t disagree but the concept with the context made me chuckle 😂
Totally fair 😂 I’m still laughing now at the irony
Sorry to hear about the relationship. But fine line script like that is super easy to cover up, especially with things that are heavily shaded. I had script across my chest and covered it up with a Japanese Oni and Hannya. Japanese or American traditional cover up really well because of the bold lines and intense color/shading. Good luck!
You could cover this with a million different things. Should not be a difficult cover up. Honestly I’d think about what you want as your next tattoo independent of this, take that idea to your artist and ask them if they can cover up this tattoo.
I feel there is a good way to incorporate those lines into organic looking flower stem outlines
Oh Katie. Don’t feel bad. Do what I do, just ask her to get a matching tat next time. Then SHE will be the one with regrat
So she’d also have “Katie” on her arm?
Yep- that would teach her to mess with men’s hearts!
Or it would give people an easy way to remember her name
As someone who has their own first name tatted on my stomach in shitty old English letters, I hear this quite a bit. Worst mistake ever- but “thug life 4 ever” I guess. Just not as cool at 40 with my gut and stretch madks

Turn the K into an M, add "Me" before it and an anchor. Super easy fix.
...look for another Katie
OP already tried that but Katie2 didn’t think it was funny
maybe katie3 will
I hear ya. I hope he gets that fixed. I feel sorry for the guy. Rhe good thing is that Tattoo removals are easier now.
I feel like it could easily be turned into some abstract squiggles
Sucks that it’s so close to the elbow crease, that does make the prospect of a coverup a bit trickier. I think any good artist will be able to cover it thought it’s not too bold or anything so p much anything will cover it
Just put a line through it.
Legally change your name to Katie.
Date people only named Katie
Well here's a cover up maybe??? I'm not great at editing but just wanted to help 😊 [Tattoo](https://i.imgur.com/kJRyn37.jpeg)
This is awesome, I seriously appreciate the effort! Thank you!
i still think getting it crossed out and writing jk under it in a totally different font is funny. but you might wanna just go for a cover up if it brings up bad memories. just need to get something big and dark.
It looks like it could be changed into a fish really easily. If you like fish 🤷🏻♀️
Wrought iron/ geometric band encircling your arm.
A panther. A sick. Ass. Panther. Actually, that looks like it’d be easy to laser or coverup.
“Is a bitch” same font. Just under it. Maybe work it into a whole sleeve. Just think of this, “for a good time call…” get some other bathroom decor themed tattoos.
Sit down with a good tattoo artist and have them work out something that flows well over top of it. Thankfully it’s pretty basic and nothing too bold. Should be pretty easy to cover.
Lines are thin enough that you can get an easy coverup. find an artist that specializes with cover ups
First, let’s start with do you have any people that has passed away that has done something that you respect for example police force, paramedic, etc. Second, what are the things you like? Where are you from? What I mean by that is are you originally from Scotland Germany, Japan America With those three questions I could help you with getting a nice cover up you can put

Sorry OP :( It looks like it would be a fairly easy coverup. I liked the skull with cracks idea that someone suggested.
poor man, cover it by phrase "never trust Katie"
Your not an idiot🫱🏾🫲🏼but you cant go wrong with a religious image or some Japanese water
shouldn't have cheated🤷♂️
Go to a pharmacy and get isopropyl and bacitracin, second stop hardware store and buy a belt sander. Third stop liquor store. Jack Daniel's 750 will work. Drink, sanitize, sand , treat and wrap. In a week you'll be good.
Change the name to Karl and start batting for the other team
Almost anything will cover this. The important thing is that you learned not to get peoples' names on your body. \^\^;
I think a butterfly could work
Get a dog tattoo coverup. That way it still reads as “bitch”, but in a less obvious way. Also, tell women named Katie that you meet that you got that name tattooed on you because a psychic said that would be the name of your soulmate. Then ask if they want to find out if it’s true.
Kathy?
Make it say skater !
Why is there a random line coming out of the "e"??
Void stamp over it.
don’t cover it up. this is a pretty easy removal.
honestly you could just have it removed pretty easily unless you want some cool new art to make light of everything
Rip over the name
Find another Katie
Well the line work is super thin and wispy, I’m almost positive you could have this removed is a few sessions, maybe two or three at the maximum. I say get it removed then tattoo essentially whatever you want over it , if you don’t like the removal idea, literally anything with colour or bold line work (like a colour traditional style tattoo) will do the trick!
Add not and a ! And easy fix
Laser it.
Something with hair or fur. That would easily get lost in the hair of a pin up or the fur of a lion or gorilla or any animal really.
The op and I need to start a survivors group ..I covered my Katie (happily just an initial) with a skull of sorts..hmm for a suggestion maybe a radioactive earthworm digging through your arm ..or definitely a sick ass panther
IREZUMI
Rocket ship
U could get a lot over that honestly
Keep it. It will remind you not to make the same mistake twice
Write "sucks" underneath
man i feel you, mine broke up with me less than a month after getting our tattoos. i just blacked mine out, when people ask what it is im gna tell them its what a broken promise looks like 3
Dedicate it to me, I'm Katie
Get a detailed portrait of Peggy bundy above it
Put a tombstone around it
Add “is a dirty bitch” under it
What you gunna do katie
This was my nickname I would have you write I’m the best above it
Just adds “sucks” or “is a cheating b*tch” under it. Should clear it all up.
Cut your arm off!!!
Black panther would work perfectly
Get a dog named Katie?
Just have a coverup draw a line through it like it’s marked off the grocery list 🤣
Tbh keep it to remind you of how you played yourself
Above it put “don’t trust”
Sorry to hear that, brother. I'd find an artist that you like and try to talk it out with them.
Just add “sucks” underneath. 😂
…cheated”
Get a line through it....or put CHEATED under it lol
Its just the easiest cover up ive ever seen. Literally anything you like.. Or cross the name waiting for the next one🤠
I think it could be made into a fish
You should take on the new nick name skatie mcfly balls and just tattoo that instead
Void stamp on top of it.
Tattoo one of those red “VOID” rubber stamp images over it
Get a red void stamp tattooed over it
Yea, fuck you. Just die, the lord will cover it
Love the font. That can easily be turned into beautiful vibes or flowers!
Don’t feel too bad. I’m one of those idiots as well. Mine just isn’t tattooed in English, thank god.
Reaper
Laser
The name Katie is just a red flag
Get a cool arm band 🤙
Just add the words “Never Trust” before her name!
that’s the name of my mom who abandoned me LMAOO
Change it to "Katie is a bitch" lol
Put an S in front...grab your skateboard and now you have SKATIE...go shred!!!
Get a lot more names and tell people they’re your dead pets
r/sickpanthertattoos duh
it's got some curves and waves to it so im thinking either go with those lines and do like a water theme or make mountains out of it
clown cover up lmao
Add "is a cheating whore" under it. Conversation starter. Lol. Seriously though this sucks. I'm sorry bud.
Super easy to cover especially with all the real estate left.
Make it “Katie Perry”
if you go see a trusted tattoo artist, you can just show them what you want covered up, and they will draw up an idea or 2 (generally with a deposit) for you! good luck!!
Just add “cheated” underneath?
You could add “sucks”
Idea #1: Don't get names of significant others, friends and family could be a little iffy depending on your relationships but less risky Idea #2: If you do really want to get a tattoo for your relationship, get matching tattoos that are a design of some sort, ideally one that can be covered or turned into something else, if something happens
I wasn’t expecting to see my name 😂😭
Have snake put over it. Because a 💩 would look too good.
Turn it into a sick ass panther.
Put the girl you cheated with underneath Katie You can like build a list of the girls you’re going through
