Tattoo Cover-Up FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about covering unwanted tattoos
Can every tattoo be covered up?
Most can, but size, color, tattoo age, and saturation will determine the best approach. In limited cases, laser fading may be required.
Do cover-ups need to be bigger than the original tattoo?
Yes. Successful cover-ups are usually larger to redirect attention from the existing tattoo.
What tattoo styles work best for cover-ups?
The strong outlines and color fields found in styles like Japanese, Traditional, and Illustrative work best for most cover-ups.
Is black ink required?
Yes, black is often necessary for structure and longevity.
