How to Select the Right Cover-up Tattoo - Expert Tips

Embrace Larger Designs

Opt for a cover-up that's noticeably larger than your original tattoo. This allows for better integration and camouflage of the existing ink. A general rule of thumb is to choose a design at least 2-3 times the size of the original.

Utilize Strategic Shading

Dark areas in your new tattoo can effectively conceal old lines and shapes. Our artists expertly employ techniques like stippling and cross-hatching to create depth and texture, further obscuring the underlying tattoo.

Leverage Color Theory

Having a basic understanding of how colors interact is also helpful and something we can help you with. We often use complementary colors to neutralize unwanted hues. For instance, greens can help cover up reds, while purples can mask yellows.

Consider Your Skin Tone

Your natural skin pigmentation affects the intensity of the color. We'll guide you towards shades that not only cover effectively but also complement your skin tone for a harmonious result.

Incorporate Textured Elements

Designs with intricate details, such as scales, feathers, or foliage, can help break up solid areas of the original tattoo, making it less noticeable.

Got my nose pierced almost 2 weeks and it was a great experience! Sanitary, nice and efficient. I was looking for a last minute piercing at 8pm on a Thursday and open locations were minimal, as soon as I called if they would take a walk in piercing their answer was “Absolutely!” Definitely recommend.
