Everything You Need To Know About The Tattoo Cover Up Process

By Brian Sanders


Those addicted to the ink often have one or two horror stories that they can share. It could be that you jumped on a cheap deal and ended up getting precisely what you paid for or it could be that you found a brilliant artist who did an awesome job of drawing your ex-lover on your entire back. Regardless of the reasons you want to get rid of a specific skin marking, your situation is reversible. You, however, should do yourself the favor of finding a competent tattoo cover up artist.

The need to understand the cover up process and how it works should not be underestimated. In any case, the professional would focus on adding ink on the old tattoo to hide it from plain view. This is not the same as tattoo removal, though you need to know that a cover up would not function like paint on canvas. Sometimes, creating consecutive layers of ink will not guarantee that the old ink will be effectively concealed.

For a procedure to be set for success, an artist will have to be good at blending colors, shading, detailing and creating depth. Such expertise will make it easier for a completely new skin graphic to be created without removing the old one. An expert with outstanding skills will be able to do a good job irrespective of the size of the skin markings that ought to get covered.

In case your old skin marking is solid black or vibrantly colored, then an artist may first propose the use of laser technology to make the original image a bit faded. It would take 2-3 laser appointments to make a solid graphic a bit faded. Such sessions can also not be avoided when intending to replace a huge tattoo with a smaller one.

Other aspects that may impact the process as well as the outcome of a cover up procedure include the color of the initial skin markings, how old or faded the markings are and also their design. In addition, a professional could choose the best course of action based on the new tattoo design that you want.

People are different when it comes to their needs and preferences. In some cases, a client may want to maintain certain parts of the original graphic. In this case, an artist will merely work on creating extensions or building up on the old tattoo to create a bigger and more appealing graphic. In this case, the need for laser procedures will be totally unnecessary.

The importance of doing a keen research before choosing where to book an appointment should not be underestimated. In any case, the results of a procedure will depend highly on the proficiencies of the artist you choose. It takes doing some serious detective work for you to increase your chances of enjoying a service that matches your expectations.

One of the worst mistakes to avoid is to make rush choices. It remains imperative for you to shop around and also meet with different artists for initial consultation. Check out their galleries to see the cover ups they have done in the past and gauge their competence levels before you book an appointment.
