Cover ups usually only happen for two reasons.
Reason one, it was done poorly and everyone guesses something different when they look at it, or reason two, at one point people may feel connected or passionate about something or someone and decide to commemorate that muse in a tattoo.
Don’t worry, you have options. To begin, you can always go with laser removal but that is boring, so why not just get another tattoo? We call this a cover up session.
In most cases getting the tattoo covered up is an option for most, either because they still want a tattoo in that spot or they still like the idea of the tattoo and they just want to fix it.
Getting a tattoo covered is not as easy as it may seem; most of the time, the new tattoo needs to be a bigger piece and more than likely darker in color. Shading will be essential in covering up line work.
Depending on the size and color of the tattoo, there is a good chance that the cover up will entail more than one session.
The best thing you can do is consult with an artist!
