A cover-up tattoo feels like a new beginning. We reimagine your existing design to create artwork that represents your present self.
Laser tattoo removal can be painful, expensive, and time-consuming. Cover-ups are a creative and cost-effective way to replace unwanted ink with something meaningful and new.
Our artists love the challenge of cover-up work. Using advanced colour theory, shading, and layering, we blend old designs into new, one-of-a-kind pieces that look fresh and intentional.
You deserve to feel proud of your tattoos. Removing the need to hide or explain an old piece can be a huge confidence boost.
We start with a personal consultation to evaluate your existing tattoo. Our artist examines size, colour saturation, placement, and any scar tissue to plan the best cover-up approach. Together, we discuss your ideas, preferred styles, and whether you want colour or black-and-grey designs.
Next, our artists create a design that effectively hides your old tattoo while expressing your vision. We might suggest darker colours, bold lines, or added patterns to ensure complete coverage. You'll be involved in every step — no surprises.
Using digital tools, we overlay the new design over your existing tattoo so you can preview the final look. This allows us to adjust size, position, and coverage before inking begins.
On your appointment day, we use top-grade inks, sterilized equipment, and precision machines to bring your new tattoo to life. Our artists take their time blending colours, textures, and shadows to ensure perfect coverage and detail.
After your session, we provide clear aftercare instructions to help you heal properly. If any old ink resurfaces during healing, you can schedule a free touch-up to maintain flawless coverage.
Not every tattoo needs removal — many can be beautifully transformed. Cover-ups are ideal if:
For dark or dense tattoos, we may suggest light laser fading first to create a better base before the final cover-up session.
Our skilled tattoo artists combine artistry and precision using modern cover-up methods such as:
We can incorporate names into floral patterns, convert tribal designs into modern realism, or turn faded symbols into animals, skulls, or mandalas — the possibilities are endless.
Every cover-up tattoo is unique. Pricing depends on size, colour complexity, and existing ink condition. Some pieces can be completed in one session; others may require multiple sittings to achieve the perfect finish.
