Best Blast Over Tattoo Style Ideas
If your tattoo has started blurring together over the years, or if you’ve got some regrettable ink on your body (who doesn’t have it, right?), a blast over tattoo is the best decision to revive the masterpiece on your body. Consider it as a sort of fresh, sharp black print cast over some watercolor or just a colored tattoo. It provides contrast and synthesizes various shapes and colors of your other tattoos into a desirable pattern.
Blast over style can be described as a sort of “cover-up” by a dark tattoo that doesn’t entirely conceal the previous, usually colored tattoo as a classic cover would normally do.
There are some examples from TattooAwards that can illustrate you blast over tattoo style:
In this example, by Gavin Dunbar you can see the first layer that is partially covered up with the second layer (traditional styled puma) .
In this vivid example by Levi Van Campen, you can see basically a blast over in a nutshell:
a solid dark (in our case here — black) tattoo that partially covers up the previous design on the bottom layer.
