Cover up tattoos are a good option for tattoos that may not hold up the way they used to. No need to be embarrassed, it happens to the best of us! For some, a laser tattoo removal is a good option. For others, a great cover-up could be a better option. It takes a skilled tattoo artist to be able to come up with an effective way to cover up an old tattoo. The design must work with the existing tattoo, to either incorporate parts of it into a new design or to have dark enough areas in the new design to completely cover it up.
