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 the decision is that the cover up should be a permanent fix, it narrows choices down to two. The obvious first permanent option would be to undergo laser removal of the tattoo. This option to remove the art can be lengthy, expensive, and somewhat painful. It is important to note that there has been some advances recently introduced that claims to be less painful ways to cover up the unwanted art.

The second option may be feasible if it does not really need to be removed. Lightening the tat or changing the original appearance into something that is more meaningful or appealing may be all the cover up needed. After all, times and tastes change so updating the body art to something that is more appealing to our changing taste makes sense.

If redesigning the original sounds more appealing as an option, this may work best. Obviously the original placement, size, and ink colors, all play a role in whether or not this option is even feasible. It will also depend on the artist and their ability as to whether this option will work. Be sure to choose one that has lots of experience as they can give you the most options and suggestions so that the outcome is successful.

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.

Concealers come in many different shades to which allows coverage for matching various skin tones. Others provide tips to mix the product to match different skin tones better. There is yet another option if the tattoo is on either the leg or arm. There are stretch bandages are temporary options as they easily slide on and off making it a solution that can be used every day. Whatever the reason, cover up products are often needed and sought for both permanent solutions and temporary solutions alike.
