Why Might a Tattoo Need To Be Covered Up
Some of the main reasons for wanting to get a cover up are:
• The artist did a bad job. This is probably the most common reason. Cheap, quick, inexperienced
artists tend to do bad work. Who would have thought it?! Most have us have been there. We live
and learn – you get what you pay for.
• You regret the design. This can be for all kinds of reasons but the most common is probably
that you got someone’s name tattooed on you that you’d rather forget!
• The tattoo has faded. Tattoo inks have come a long way in the last few years. Tattoos done 10+
years ago were often done with inks that fade over time.
Whatever the reason, the fact is that what you currently have isn’t something you want a constant
reminder of and you’re looking for a way to get rid of it and put something better in its place.

Options For Removing a Tattoo
• For many people in this situation, the first thought that enters their mind is, “Can I get it
removed?”
• Then they discover that not only is tattoo removal very expensive, but that it can take many
months – and can also be quite painful.
• That isn’t to say that it’s not an option – it is.
• Laser tattoo removal has come a long way in the past decade but to say it’s a simple process
just isn’t true.
• In fact, most of the time people who get laser tattoo removal are doing that as a first step
before getting a new tattoo put over the same area, as often the skin is quite damaged and the
tattoo itself isn’t 100% removed.
• However this isn’t always necessary, it is often possible to go straight to covering up your old
tattoo with a new tattoo.

5. Getting a cover up tattoo is pretty much a
“one shot” thing.
Covering up a cover up, while maybe
possible, is often practically impossible.
For this reason, it’s best to make sure you
choose a studio that not only has the
experience to do the work, the quality of
artists required to bring it to life, but the
ability to advise you correctly.
A cover up tattoo isn’t the same as tattooing
on fresh skin. When getting a tattoo on fresh
skin, your options are essentially limited to
your imagination, the size available, your
budget, the skill of the artist and practicality
(not everything works as a tattoo).
What To Consider Before
Getting a Cover Up Tattoo

6. For a cover up tattoo the tattoo you need
covered will largely dictate what is possible.
The larger, darker or more dense the current
tattoo, the more limited the options will be.
This is why it’s so important that you choose a
studio who can give you honest advice instead
of promising the world and not really taking
the reality of the situation into account.
While we will always take into account your
ideas, your preferred style and design, we need
to help you to find a middle ground between
what you want to get done and what is
realistically possible.

7. At this point it’s important that you think
about managing your expectations – what is
more important to you: to remove the old
tattoo and cover it with something more
beautiful? Or to get exactly the design you
want?
Working with a professional studio will help
you to get the information you need to make
the right decision without pressuring you
into doing something you’re not sure about.

How Big Does a Cover Up Tattoo Need to Be?
Just like most things – it depends!
The simple answer it – the new tattoo needs to be bigger and darker than the old tattoo.
The real answer though is much more complex.
In some cases part of the old tattoo can be used in the new design, or the old tattoo is faded
enough that a bright color will cover it even though it was originally black.
This is where the advice of a knowledgeable studio will come in helpful.
If we’re able to see your old tattoo in person, we can help to give you some options that might
work for you.
We understand however that face to face consultations aren’t always an option.
So you’re welcome to send us over pictures/videos of your current tattoo and any ideas you have
of what you’d like to cover it with and we can advise from there

9. • Again, there isn’t a simple answer as the
age,size,shape and density of your old
tattoo will affect what will cover it well.
• However in general some designs work
better than others.
Which Designs Work Best
for a Cover Up?

10. 10Cover Up Tattoos Bangkok
Examples of designs that work well for cover up
tattoos
• Animals or mythological creatures with scales or feathers.
• Dragons and koi-type fish and other dense Japanese style designs.
• Large birds, such as vultures, ravens or eagles.
• Dark floral designs, with plenty of leaves.
• Old school or new school color work
• Trash polka and brushstroke
• Black out (literally, solid black blocks of ink – which is actually much nicer than it
sounds when done right!)

11. 11Cover Up Tattoos Bangkok
Examples of designs that don’t work well for
cover up tattoos
• Geometric designs. These are usually made up just of straight lines in patterns, which
means if they are put over an old tattoo it will be nearly completely visible underneath.
However dense mandala designs can sometimes work.
• Realistic black/grey. Portraits, realistic animals etc. This style uses nuanced shading to
create depth and the skin is used as the canvas to bring out the lighting in the subject.
Putting this over an existing tattoo won’t work in almost all cases.
• White ink. People often think that white ink will work to cover an old tattoo. That isn’t
the case! White ink is used in tattoos only to create depth of shading, as it will fade
almost completely over time. It definitely can’t cover up old tattoos except perhaps for
an extremely short period of time.

Can I Retouch My Old Tattoo Instead Of Covering
It Up?
• In many cases this is a good option.
• Sometimes the tattoo itself isn’t something you dislike, or want to get rid of for
personal reasons but is just faded, or executed poorly.
• Often it is possible for an experienced artist to re-line and re-shade the tattoo and
bring it back to life, or to make it look like it should have done the first time around.
• Whether or not this is possible depends entirely on the tattoo that you have, so send it
over to us and we can give you some honest advice!
