How does the process of a cover-up tattoo work?
20+ years of tattoo vibes in the heart of Copenhagen
When you choose a cover-up tattoo, the process begins with a consultation. This is an important part of the process, where we examine your current tattoo and discuss your desires. Each design is custom-made to ensure it perfectly suits your needs while effectively covering the existing tattoo.
The techniques behind a cover-up tattoo are advanced and require great experience. We use deep colors, shading, and detailed lines to conceal old tattoos. It may be necessary to use laser treatment to lighten the tattoo before covering it, depending on its color and intensity. While it may sound complex, it is all worth it when the result is a beautiful tattoo that feels completely new.
When can you get a cover up tattoo?
Several factors determine whether and when a cover up tattoo can be done. The most important thing is that the existing tattoo has fully healed. As a rule, you should wait at least 6 to 8 weeks after the original tattoo before starting a cover up. The time may vary depending on the skin’s healing process, as well as the size and placement of the design.
When it comes to the design itself, darker and less detailed tattoos are often easier to cover. Simple motifs such as stars, small symbols or thin lines can usually be hidden with great success. Coloured tattoos in light shades also offer good possibilities, especially if the colours have faded over time.
On the other hand, it can be more demanding to create a cover up on very dark tattoos, tattoos with thick linework or large colour-saturated areas. In these cases, it requires both good planning and creativity to achieve a satisfying result that not only covers the old tattoo but also creates a new design you will be happy with.
Which tattoos can be covered with a cover-up tattoo?
Not all tattoos are equally easy to cover, but almost anything is possible with the right approach. Small and faded tattoos are often the easiest to work with, while larger or very dark tattoos require more time and technique. To achieve the best result, it is recommended that the tattoo be at least two years old so that the colors have started to fade.
It is also possible to cover tattoos that have a complicated history, such as old symbols and portrait tattoos or names and fine line tattoosyou no longer want. To ensure a satisfying result, we work closely with you to choose a design that both covers the old tattoo and gives you something you can be proud of.
How to care for your new cover-up tattoo
After your cover-up tattoo is complete, aftercare is essential. This not only ensures a good healing process but also helps the tattoo look sharp and vibrant for many years to come. You should keep the tattoo clean and avoid direct sunlight during the healing period, just like with any regular tattoo. Use a moisturizer recommended by your tattoo artist to keep the skin healthy.
A cover up tattoo often requires a bit more attention during the first few weeks, as several layers of ink are used to conceal the old design. This is why you should always follow the guidelines you are given, so the tattoo heals properly and keeps its fine details. We will guide you through everything, so you feel confident when you leave our shop, and if any questions arise later, you are always welcome to call or stop by.
