Tattoo Cover Up

Tattoos are to be driven with great conviction and not made for mere fun. Any tattoo disaster eventually becomes the most visible mistake on your body and it is there to stay with you for life. Unless, you are ready to bear the pain once again for getting a cover up, you have to sulk all your life looking at your disastrous ink experience.

Tattoo Cover Up are a great way to get rid of the unwanted tattoos on your body. It not only hides your older tattoo, but if made after enough thought and creativity, can turn out to be a transformed beauty piece. However, the best option will always remain to think before you ink, but if you have already gotten a wrong tattoo, consider a thoughtful cover up. The list below shows some awesome, some witty and some crazy cover up ideas to tickle you thought streak.

No one likes to admit they made a mistake. But many of us have made them and unfortunately mistakes make in ink are permanent. You may have thought Cindy or Darryl would be “the one”. You may have thought you’d really love Daffy Duck forever. Now you’ve been looking at the aftermath of those choices for too long and it’s time to do something about it. So how do tattoo cover up work? What designs work best and are there some tattoos that simply can not be covered?

Let’s start with something you need to know about tattoos. When you get tattooed, the tattoo ink is dispersed about a millimeter under your skin and remains in a layer called the dermis, which is under the epidermis or the layer of skin you can see. When you tattoo over existing pigment you’re not covering it, you’re actually mixing the pigment of the new tattoo with the old one. As it heals the ink from your new tattoo (the cover up) will have settled into the dermis layer and merged with the old ink. Because of this it’s very important to plan carefully what the design of the camouflaging tattoo will be. I say camouflage to drive home the idea of hiding a tattoo rather that trying to pound black over the top of it to cover it. Black is the easiest way to cover an old tattoo, as well as dark colors like blues and greens, but don’t use them as a crutch. A good camouflage won’t require areas of solid black to cover an old tattoo.
