Cover-up
A new story over an old tattoo
A cover-up blends an unwanted tattoo into a new design without removing it. Not every tattoo can be covered, so we look at it together first.

How we assess it
- You attach a photo of the old tattoo to the request form.
- We set the smallest possible size of the new design by darkness, size and line density.
- At the consultation we show the new design layered over the old one.
- If needed, the first session prepares the base and later sessions complete it.
Laser removal is a medical service; it is not offered in our studio.

Blackwork, dense botanical compositions and textured dotwork are the most flexible. Very fine line rarely works as a cover.
