Best Coverup Tattoos | Ink Master

There’s a lot to consider when doing a coverup tattoo: placement and colors can make or break how well the old tattoo is concealed. These Ink Master coverups are so good you’d never know what was hiding underneath.

People don't realize that cover ups are not always complete coverups, sometimes redesigning a tattoo is better then a cover up, and can change the look completely

[@claudeyaz]

I completely agree .especially on the moon/sun tattoo..Imagine how huge of a coverup would be needed to cover that! His choice to rework it made me do a sigh of relief. You gotta think about the gender and lifestyle of the person wearing the tattoo

[@TacticalToast99]

That's exactly what I'm doing, my artist gave me crooked horns so I'm having someone else redesign the tattoo and add a Trash Polka style

[@katchupp5067]

especially since i feel that sun/moon thing was already a pretty good design. i feel he made the right call

The fox is adorable as heck Her coloring is utter perfection

[@sherylbjerre9636]

I agree. Those tones & shading were so original, it was magical! Not only was it cover up, it had no black tracing of the original into the artwork which is the approach of the others. Her end result was stunning!

why was an anarchy symbol included as one of the "hate symbol" cover-ups, it's political but it isn't associated with any bigoted ideology.

[@therina2306]

Anarchy is sometimes associated with bigotry. Many people promote it or its softcore forms because they don't like the government "unnaturally" intervening to promote equality. Nietzsche-esque attitudes. What do you think happens to minorities, racial or otherwise, when the law no longer exists to protect them from the whims of the majority? Most of the anarchists I've known were racist and ableist.

[@stinkyboy69514]

thought this too.

[@crackgoat9780]

I think the amount of people who are a) willing to admit they got that tattoo and b) go on national television to have it removed is a rather limited pool of people. They would probably take whatever they could get.

[@oldoddjobs]

@@therina2306 "Nietzsche-esque attitudes" lol

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

Personally, a lot of people I have know who have had an anarchy tattoo or something like it was that they were involved in white supremacy in some way. It was like a gateway to more hardcore beliefs.

That Koi tattoo was epic! It had amazing colour, line work, and illusion work that I was in awe. And Tommy's tattoo was so low grade it looked like it was done in someone's basement!! And wtf with Tattoo Baby's tattoo... the finger was so out of proportion that as a client I would have flipped and ripped it off with a rusted blade than have that on me for the rest of my life.

[@The_Skrongler]

It shows a severe misunderstanding of what anarchism is that they put the anarchy symbol in an episode about covering hate tattoos. The anarchy symbol can be confronting to some people, but at the end of the day it symbolizes the political goal of minimizing hierarchy within society. Love it or hate it, that's what anarchism is. I'm glad that lady got a nice coverup though. As long as she's happy with her chest now that's what really matters.

[@joeschmo4646]

There are so many different types of anarchism it's insane. You're obviously an anarchist, what type are you?
