What's possible with a cover-up?
The honest answer: it depends. A small, light tattoo can often be covered up to the point of being nearly invisible. A large, dark, or colorful piece usually requires an even larger, darker design over it—that is just physics, not poor artistry. In our free consultation, we will tell you exactly what is realistic for your tattoo before we even get started.
Cover-ups usually take longer than a standard tattoo of the same size because we have to work with existing ink, not blank skin. Plan for a little extra time—the final result is worth it.
