I have small flower stickers that I use on my car to cover nicks in the paint and prevent rust without having to do a full paintjob. As my car gets older, it gets more and more flowery 🙂

I would use the same thing over an unwanted logo on a prosthetic limb: if you can't remove the tattoo, at least make it your own, and a sticker can be peeled off.
