Cover-Ups tattoo

Where it comes from

Cover-up work is as old as tattoo regret. Artists developed techniques to hide old names, faded pieces and poor work under a new design, often after a few laser sessions to lighten the old ink.

What it looks like

A new design, usually larger and darker than the original, that uses dense shading, bold color and clever placement of dark areas to hide the old tattoo completely.

What it represents

A fresh start. Turning something unwanted into a piece you are proud of.
