Tattoo Cover Ups - What you need to know before getting it done

* Updated video.. Tattoo Cover-Ups - • Tattoo Cover Ups : Wha...

[@F1SHB1TCH]

I have a tattoo on the side of my underarm , its a lily of the valley and its done in light watercolors and The thing is that the colors arent so blended and I was just wondering if it would be possible to add more black and grey and kind of try to fade it? Like fade the grey into the light blue in the pedals if it cant be covered completley with black and grey since on the pedals its just the outer part that has color. And maybe cover the green of the stem with black or grey?

I have spent months investigating removing tattoos at home and discovered a fantastic resource at Chads Tattoo Tactic (look it up on google)

[@LsToner]

Turning down cover ups because you "dont want to jeopardize your art" is another way of saying i dont feel like it because its hard.

[@treydadon4835]

I was just thinking this. Also just a way of saying that the artist isn’t talented enough to take on the project

[@Henchmen1]

It's more like I can't do it I'm not skilled enough ... Go watch Mr rayes ink blast over every thing and make it look out of this word the darkness doesn't matter unless you don't have the skills

[@SpookyscarySayge]

Some tattooists may be newer and not skilled enough yet to do so. I have a super bad coverup on my hand bc of that. I'd much rather be turned down..

[@bhavyagoel1142]

I believe lazer removal can make your initial tattoo less dark and can give the artist freedom for the cover up

[@Killswitch_550]

Exactly I’m gonna do a few sessions to shade down the tattoo and I plan to get a dark sleeve so you can’t see thru my new tattoos to well

[@backyard9144]

@@Killswitch_550 I was thinking the same getting 1-2 sessions of removal And then a cover up , have you started yet the removal ?

[@dhawk8391]

Find the best tattoo artist with a bigger tattoo idea they can work magic... F laser removal. Cost will be way up.

[@domingoguzman9292]

I’m getting three tattoos on my for arm covered up soon, trusting the artist looking at his work I have confidence in him. But I’m a very paranoid person.

[@hiphoplover1974]

Hey man, I came across this and was just curious if you've gotten your cover up and if it was what you expected? I'm thinking about a chest cover up and I'm not certain. So, maybe you have additional info regarding this? Hope all is well and you're happy with your cover up.

[@jello561]

I have one tattoo on my lower back that was just a long story... And a thigh tattoo that was just a dumb decision. Saving up for cover ups as we speak

[@davidkim9898]

dude sounds like steveo-o

[@tylerparker3024]

Maybe when Steve o was 10 tho lol but yea I hear it

[@bonthugs87]

He look kind of Steve O too dude

[@pein260]

See I love this video. Just you being a professional and upfront. This is you guys' livelihood, and you're 100% right to tell the customer how things have to be. Great video, man!!

[@williamgeorgelopezjunior8533]

pein260 I do what I want with my skin! If I say I want a rabbi banging a priest then that’s what I want. And the priest is making out with Michael Jackson

[@cindytrimblr]

This was really helpful hearing advice from a tattoo artist. I have two tattoos I wanted covered or removed but wasn't sure which route would be best. I have a laser tattoo removal appointment scheduled. One of my tattoos is really dark and the other is really detailed with a lot of lines but very light. So it's hard to tell what to do. Removal or cover-up.

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

if you have letters you can consider "blast over" I have seen many nice blast overs.

[@MsHoney-ez2ph]

What's a blast over cause I have letters and I want a whole peace to cover it

[@ducksandcats]

after the laser, my tattoo is scarred into my skin and you can see the scars' design as bumps on my new tattoo. i should've just covered it from the start

[@dhawk8391]

100 percent. That's the worse advice I saw on this video.

[@bmack7762]

Thanks for the video man, been wanting to fix mine for a while but wasn't sure what to say when I walked in there

[@Alex-jo2oi]

What about a forearm sleeve? It looks like it has unfinished parts maybe the shading wasn’t executed well enough? It sucks when some people don’t know what it is at first glance.

[@mikeygrabon2159]

So I just got an outline done that covers my entire bicep less than 48 hours. Unfortunately, i'm not really happy with how it came out. So would it be best if I choose a design that is colorful? I wanted a black and grey tattoo.

[@warrenlewis5777]

Bro I just seen a massive tattoo cover up it can be done

[@craqqem8976]

Great video, going through the process of finding an artist right now to cover up my knuckle tattoos.

[@microponics2695]

As long as the scar is white and not red you can tattoo over it if it's red it may blow out real bad.

[@tamalesychampurado5361]

Awesome advice. True professional!

[@thrash208]

I have a tattoo i want to cover i got it at 16. Id literally agree to anything😂

[@GinsengHoney_]

I have what should’ve been a very detailed cecropia moth chest tattoo. It was supposed to be dotted/stipple shading and the guy gave up the stippling after 10 minutes into the tattoo and just started doing regular shade work. One side is darker than the other; there’s lines overlapping the other, the shading is completely botched and I want to get it covered up. I want it to be a moth still lol I just want it to be bad ass and done right. I don’t want to say better because it’s so bad, but I should’ve expected that when I paid 80$ for it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ The guy didn’t want to do sessions either, he said and I quote, “It’s either we get this done now or we don’t get it done at all”. That should’ve immediately been a red flag for me but I wanted a chest piece so bad. I can’t say it isn’t my fault because it is. 😂

[@nikki10114]

What a honest sweet heart

[@ashleysparkles6382]

It kills me that the example was an ex’s name in old English. Like that’s the request he gets every week. Lol

[@brownjatt21]

My idiot cousin got his gfs (now ex) name few months ago while drunk . We're headed to a studio right now to get it covered up 😂

[@HANGTHEPOPE1]

Very informative, thank you very much!

[@michaelrea8090]

An olde English tattoo with a name in black ink is exactly what I have lol I have a consultation tomorrow and my idea I'm going to pitch to the artist is a raven all black with white ink for the beak, eyes hopefully that will work because he said every other idea I showed him won't work.

[@brosettastone7520]

literally have 2 long words in bold black old english on my forearms :( ''never forget'' i sighed when you said its almost impossible to cover these type....Hopefully my artist can pull something together, im worried our first appointment might end before it starts because of this

[@jesseelisabeatty3259]

I like my tat I drew it but it Never was finished and some parts I'd love changed I changed it with a sharpie so I know it can be altered are they able to give life to an older existing tatoo that I like?

[@MoonaLoona8]

Jessee Lisa Beatty I believe they can. I think that if the changes that u want are not too big, maybe they can retouch the existing parts then proceed with the rest.

[@truppestudios7523]

Got a tattoo on my forearm yesterday, artist did a bad job, he did not go deep into the skin fortunately nor is it heavily dark. Do you think it’s wise for me to cover it up next week already?

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

Hey bro I'm curious what you did, did you cover it up?

[@Martha-LaMexa]

I have large tattoo on my arm that Is pretty dark no color and I was thinking I could do a blackout and then add some white to design.Could that work?

[@Miguel-hx8hg]

Never do that

[@benbarker3978]

I have a white over black cover up. If white covers black then I would think anything is possible

[@avinavanis4442]

Can you change color tattoos to black and gray?

[@Squishy_lizard74]

I actually have a needle poked tattoo on my left wrist and it's awful. I was pressured by ex friends into getting it by a non professional 18 year old and it's just bad. It looks kinda like a compass but idk. How would a consultation go with a "home" tattoo? Does it depend if it's super scarred or how it looks?

[@ikandi3852]

I have an outline of old English text tattoo on my leg that surround another tattoo would I be able to just cover that or would I have to cover the whole thing? I know it’s already not something easy to cover but I need help..

[@UrskaBelec]

Hello. I just got new tattoo and i do like the design (would be weird if i wouldn’t because i planned on gettin it for a year), but there are lines i dont like because the placement is just not right (tattoo looks weird) Now i’m freaking out how to cover it up, but cannot get any good idea 😕 I’m interested whether you are willing to help me and give me an advice. Thank you 😊

[@TAEDAARTIST]

I did a tattoo cover up and I’m not sure why it came out black I used moms ink and mixed colors to get a lighter color and I’m concerned is that the reason it came out that way used a dark blue with a white to lighten it up but it still came out really dark can you help me figure out where I went wrong

[@claudiosaldivia5646]

Well said !!!

[@darthjarjar8150]

Is going over color with black hard? Specifically red and blue

[@danielcorral4835]

Can I send you a pic of my tattoo to get your thoughts & can manage my expectations?

[@amandameyerholz816]

I want a black raven over a black name.

[@damnchyna7164]

I just contacted you guys. Hoping to get my half sleeve altered into a beautiful piece. My artist was a professional but clearly I was too young to realize how horrible his ink and technique were.

[@CymruPhoenix]

Got a bi pride tattoo as knee jerk thing for pride month in 2018 as I'd just finished coming out to everyone and was proud of myself but I feel the tattoo artist did a bad job(dont think he went deep enough into my skin, always heard wrist tattoos hurt like a bitch but it really wasn't a problem for me, the one I have on the inside of my calf hurt more so maybe i'm right) as a bunch of the colour leached over night and it's blown out to fuck, it was almost as if the skin had fully healed in the time I slept because I had very, very little scabbing or flaking for the rest of the aftercare. Was thinking of getting a sleeve of dark red dragon scales covering my forearm(proud Welshy) to cover it, the colours of the current tattoo are blue, purple and pink but are very, very faded. Would that work?

[@kyrayates6026]

I got this dark goldfish tattoo smacked right in the oddest part of my left chest. Its too out of place and I was a bit drunk. Ill be sober this go around but thinking on getting an octoous tattoo to cover it up. This goldfish just keeps reminding me of my narcassistic womb bearer.

At around 4:30 or so what does he mean when he said he didn't want to keeloy anyone.... I am sure I didn't spell that right but still what does keeloy mean?

[@dayday672]

DirtPoorFarmer In that context he means to give a person a keloid. It’s a scar that heals weird due to bacteria in the wound. Sometimes a person is more likely to get it due to genetics or skin type. Google keloid for a visual example.

[@ducks_love_bread]

Ok ok I get it thanks

Vibrant Vibes how long ?? Like 2-3 weeks ? It’s like a little cross on my ring finger

[@vibrantvibes6185]

@@emerald509 I would say at least a month and a half because it hasn't even started the shedding process I'm not a professional but that doesn't seem safe could cause an infection or make the tattoo worse I have a tattoo I'm looking to cover up as well but it's like a year old

[@BlaQSheep]

My artist did an amazing portrait but as fillers around it he put freakin circles on my shit like Olympic rings that I didn’t ask for. I feel like artist should not just put something on people without consulting them. I could’ve utilized that space for something else
