– Process: we assess the old tattoo (age, color, density, placement) and discuss realistic options.
– Techniques: using darker tones, smart composition, and layered details to break up old shapes.
– Sometimes we may recommend lightening (e.g., laser) before a full cover‑up for best results (done externally, not in‑studio).
– Expectation setting: not every design is possible as a cover‑up; we guide you to options that will heal and look good long term.
Best For
– Clients unhappy with old or low‑quality tattoos.
– Names, symbols, or pieces that no longer feel relevant.
– Faded tattoos that can be integrated into a new composition.
