When Tattoo Cover Up May Become Necessary

By Amy Ward


Very few people consider the possibility of removing or covering up a tattoo at the time they decide to get it. However, many find themselves looking for a solution for tattoo cover up down the line and may find that it is actually a necessity. Many employers now require that their employees cover any visible tattoo especially if it is a business environment. Then one might simply regret the decision to get the tattoo and want to have it changed completely. These are just a couple viable reasons one might have to look into solutions.

Before really looking into solutions that may be available for tat cover up, one should decide what end result they are looking for. A decision should be made whether they are looking for the tattoo to be covered temporarily or if it should be permanent. Additionally, figuring out what their budget is may also be a consideration in determining what to look into and what will work as a viable solution.

If the cover up needs to be a more permanent solution, this narrows things down to two options. The first permanent option is undergo the removal process. Generally to remove the tattoo you undergo a laser removal which can be expensive, lengthy, and rather painful. There has been recent advances in this area which has introduced new and less painful ways to remove the unwanted artwork.

If, on the other hand, it is not really necessary to have it removed, perhaps another option is available. One can consider lightening the original art or even adding to it to change its original appearance to something a bit more appealing or meaningful. People change, times change, so our tastes in things change as well so updating an old tat may make more sense.

If something more appealing sounds like an option, changing the original tattoo to something else may be an option for you. Obviously it depends on the size, color, and placement of the original one. Let us not forget the artist that is tackling the job. Choose one that is more experienced as they will provide the most options in the least amount of time and perhaps ensure that it is done right the second time around.

In fact, it is vitally important to find the right artist. Covering up an existing tat with a new one is complicated. Finding an artist that has experience in doing this allows you to obtain suggestions and optimal results. After all, dealing with old ink and re-designing a tattoo is complicated and you want to be satisfied with the end results.

Once research has been completed, it may be decided that a temporary fix might be good enough. If this is the case, one can find various concealers and makeup which was designed specifically for the use of covering up tats. These products are quite easy to find and available everywhere. The variety of products include smudge proof and waterproof options. There are also products guaranteeing maximum results.

Concealers come in many different shades to which allows coverage for matching various skin tones. Others provide tips to mix the product to match different skin tones better. There is yet another option if the tattoo is on either the leg or arm. There are stretch bandages are temporary options as they easily slide on and off making it a solution that can be used every day. Whatever the reason, cover up products are often needed and sought for both permanent solutions and temporary solutions alike.
