FAQ
Questions about Coverups & Reworks
Helpful answers before you book, visit, order, or request more information.
Can any tattoo be covered up?
Not always. Coverup options depend on the existing tattoo, darkness, size, placement, scarring, and the new design. Clear current photos help the artist give realistic guidance.
Do I need a consultation for a coverup?
Yes, a consultation is usually recommended for coverups and reworks. The artist needs to review the existing tattoo and discuss what will actually work.
Will the coverup need to be bigger or darker?
Often, yes. Many coverups need to be larger, darker, or more detailed than the original tattoo to successfully hide or rework the existing piece.
What photos should I send for a coverup request?
Send clear, well-lit photos of the existing tattoo from straight on and at a slight distance so the artist can see size, placement, and surrounding skin.
