Wes Holland excels in crafting cover-up tattoos that help his clients replace old and unwanted tattoos with new works of art, along with a renewed sense of pride in their tattoo collection.

The best cover-up tattoo artists in Atlanta and worldwide encourage our clients to embrace flexibility regarding the subject matter and size of the new tattoo.

This open-minded approach can lead to stunning results that not only conceal the existing tattoo but elevate it into a captivating piece of art.

Before you schedule your consultation, take some time to create a list of imagery and motifs that resonate with you. Consider natural and organic subjects such as snakes, koi fish, or floral elements. Japanese, Illustrative, Traditional, Anime, and Neo-traditional styles are all great places to start doing your research.

These designs, images, and motifs not only provide a rich narrative but also work exceptionally well for cover-ups.

For example, the vibrant greens found in the leaves that often accompany flowers are an excellent tool to cover an old tattoo, allowing you to place the flower on the blank un-tattooed skin nearby.

If you prefer a black and grey aesthetic, using organic fields of black and dark grey is the best strategy to ensure the success of your cover-up. Think of the bold hairstyles from classic pin-up art, traditional girl heads, or portraits of loved ones — pets included.

Designs like panthers, black roses, or even space scenes dotted with nebulae and stars lend themselves beautifully to cover-ups, as they can envelop and disguise the underlying tattoo effectively.
