Sometimes you wish to change the idea of your tattoo but are thinking that it is unchangeable? Trust us, it is not always the case.

Sometimes mistakes are made: whether it is the name of an ex-girlfriend, a provocative image that turns out to be not suitable at your workplace, or you simply just grew over an illustrated concept that is already tattooed on you.

Or do you just have a scar that you want to cover up?

This is where cover-up tattoos come to the rescue.

There are multiple cover-up techniques of tattooing (like blast-over for example) usually, it takes the next level skill of an artist to perform a successful coverup. We will show you some examples of cover-up tattoos for you to have an understanding of how it looks like.
