COVER UP TATTOOS
Revamp Your Ink
Choosing the Right Design for Your Cover-Up
Choosing the right design for your tattoo cover-up involves selecting a design that matches the size and color of your old tattoo. Wrist tattoo cover-ups require small, detailed designs, while forearm cover-ups can handle larger artwork. Opt for intricate, darker designs that complement your existing ink, such as realistic or geometric styles.
Consult a skilled tattoo artist to perfect the design. For tattoos on minors, ensure you follow guidelines like obtaining notarized consent and having a guardian present.
Follow our expert tips and guidelines to keep your new body art looking its best and ensure the right approach for tattoos for minors:
The Tattoo Cover Up Process
-
Discuss Your Goals: Meet with your tattoo artist to discuss your vision for a scar cover up tattoo or other cover up needs, and evaluate the old tattoo. This helps determine the best design and approach for your cover up.
Design Planning: Your artist will create a custom design based on your preferences and the characteristics of your existing tattoo.
-
Application: The cover up tattoo, whether it's a wrist tattoo cover up or a larger forearm cover up tattoo, will be applied, taking care to cover the old ink with the new design. This process might involve multiple sessions depending on the complexity.
Aftercare Instructions: Your artist will provide specific aftercare guidelines to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
-
Healing Period: Follow the aftercare instructions diligently. Healing time can vary based on the size and detail of the cover up.
Final Touch-Ups: After healing, a follow-up appointment may be necessary for touch-ups to perfect the cover-up design.
