COVERING OLD TATTOOS

When covering old tattoos you will need to look for a pattern or design that will cover the old tattoo completely. Good designs that work well with cover-ups are ones with hair, beards, and hats. Most cover-up work is done in black ink. You cannot use a lighter color to cover-up a darker color. As you get better and your art improves cover-ups will become easier. It will take a larger design to cover the old tattoo. Custom work plays a big role in covering old tattoos.
