When Tattoo Cover Up May Become Necessary

By Amy Ward


When most people make the decision to get a tattoo, they rarely think about the necessity to cover it up. However, there comes a time when tattoo cover up is helpful and necessary. In fact, many employers now require that all tats be covered while in the office. Then again we may have come to a point in life where we regret the actual art piece on our body and want it or a portion of it changed. These are a few of the reasons people find it necessary to search for a good cover up product.

In order to determine what solutions for tat cover up are available, one must first decide what it is they want. One must decide if the art needs to be covered temporarily or permanently. Also, since budgets are often a concern and factor in deciding whether a solution is viable, what cost will work for them.

If we want it to be more permanent, there really are only two options. The first is to undergo the removal process. This option can be costly, lengthy, and painful. It is important to note that there are advances occurring in this industry that is introducing new less painful ways to remove unwanted body art.

If the art is something that does not necessarily need to be totally removed, there are other options. Perhaps one should consider either lightening the original tattoo or changing its appearance to be something more appealing. As times change so do our taste in things so it is no surprise that something we previously found appealing is now much less so.

If something more appealing sounds like an option, changing the original tattoo to something else may be an option for you. Obviously it depends on the size, color, and placement of the original one. Let us not forget the artist that is tackling the job. Choose one that is more experienced as they will provide the most options in the least amount of time and perhaps ensure that it is done right the second time around.

In fact the actual artist should be chosen with care. It is a tricky proposition to cover up the old design or incorporate it into a new one. Finding someone who has lots of experience will make it much easier and the success rate and outcome is much better. Covering old ink and successfully re-designing is an art form in itself.

You may decide that only a temporary cover up is necessary. If this is the case, one can look into makeups and concealers specifically designed for this purpose. They are all easily found and generally located in the make up section of local stores. Many claim to be waterproof or smudge proof once applied. There are those that claim to be easy to use and apply with maximum results.

There are concealers that come in different shades to allow skin tones to be matched. Others give provide tips on how to mix the product to better match the skin. Finally, if the tattoo is located on either the arm or leg, one can find stretch bandages that can easily slide on and off to temporarily cover up the art which might be easier solution if done every day. Whatever reason exists, cover up is often needed and is used by many for both permanent and temporary solutions.
