Cover-up doesnβt always mean complete disappearance. π
There are two common approaches:
π¨ Full Coverage β We strategically use color and opacity to hide the old tattoo as much as possible.
πΏ Light Coverage β We design a piece that naturally draws attention away from whatβs underneath. The original tattoo may still exist beneath the design, but the artwork is composed in a way that keeps your eye focused on the new piece.
The biggest part of a successful cover-up isnβt just the tattoo. Itβs the planning.
Every cover-up consultation starts with two questions:
β¨ Whatβs realistic?
β¨ Whatβs possible?
Some tattoos give us a lot of creative freedom. Others, especially darker, larger, or heavily saturated pieces, may require us to step away from the original idea brought to consult and explore designs that work with whatβs already there instead of against it.
The goal isnβt to force your new ideas onto your skin. Itβs to create something youβll genuinely love while giving you the best result your canvas allows.
If youβre considering a cover-up, donβt rule out the possibilities before talking with a professional. Come with an open mind and you may have more options than you think. π€
