Is there a way to lighten the tattoo, but at the same time, not jeopardizing the definitions and lines?

Hi! So I've recently got a tattoo covered up. It's pretty, but one thing I can't seem to live through is how dark the tattoo is. I just wish the black wasn't as dark. I've no intentions of removing, or doing another tattoo cover-up. Thanks in advance!
