A cover-up tattoo is a tattoo that is applied over an existing tattoo to conceal it. It is important to understand the fundamentals of a good cover-up tattoo before getting one.
1. Size and Shape
The new tattoo should be significantly larger than the old tattoo. This will help to ensure that the old tattoo is completely covered. The new tattoo should also have a strong design that will help to distract from the old tattoo.
2. Color and Tone
The new tattoo should be darker than the old tattoo. This will help to ensure that the old tattoo is not visible through the new tattoo. The new tattoo should also have a variety of colors and tones to help create depth and dimension.
3. Style and Design
The new tattoo should be in a style that is different from the old tattoo. This will help to make the new tattoo stand out and be more noticeable. The new tattoo should also have a design that is meaningful to the person getting it.
4. Skill and Experience
It is important to find a tattoo artist who has experience in doing cover-up tattoos. Not all tattoo artists are skilled in this area. A good cover-up tattoo artist will be able to assess the old tattoo and create a new tattoo that will completely cover it.
5. Consultation
It is important to consult with a tattoo artist before getting a cover-up tattoo. This will help to ensure that the new tattoo is the right size, shape, color, and style for you.
Additional Tips
Be patient. It may take more than one session to completely cover the old tattoo.
Be prepared to pay more for a cover-up tattoo. They are typically more expensive than traditional tattoos.
Be realistic about your expectations. Not all tattoos can be completely covered.
Example
The attached picture is an example of a cover-up tattoo that I have done. The old tattoo was a small, simple design. The new tattoo is a larger, more complex design that completely covers the old tattoo. The new tattoo is also darker than the old tattoo and has a variety of colors and tones.
