Guide to Tattoo Cover-Ups

Cover-up tattoos are a great solution for unwanted or outdated ink.

1. Why Get a Cover-Up?

Reasons include faded tattoos, designs that no longer fit your style, or correcting poor-quality work.

2. The Cover-Up Process

Your artist will assess the old tattoo, choose a suitable design and color scheme, and create a new tattoo that effectively conceals the original.

3. Tips for Choosing a Cover-Up Design

• Opt for a design larger than the original tattoo.
• Use darker colors to mask old ink.
• Consult with your artist for the best results.

4. Realistic Expectations

The success of a cover-up depends on the old tattoo and the artist’s skill. Sometimes, multiple sessions are needed for optimal results.

5. Aftercare for Cover-Ups

Treat your cover-up like any new tattoo: keep it clean, avoid sun exposure, and follow your artist’s aftercare instructions.
