Conceal Unwanted Tattoos With Our Small Tattoo Cover-Up Design Services

In a perfect world, tattoos would last for the rest of your life. You choose a design that shows who you are and wear it on your sleeve for the rest of your life.

 

But in the real world, some tattoos don’t last as long as others.

 

Small tattoos, in particular, often get harder to see after a few years or even a decade. And the colours fade, especially on parts of the body that get more sun, like the hand. For some people, their tattoos no longer show who they are.

 

For example, you might have a tattoo of someone’s name from a relationship that is over. Or your taste in art changes, and it doesn’t make sense to keep tattoos you any longer like. 

 

Also, people change and evolve as the years go by. So a tattoo that could have described you in a certain period might not make any sense a few years later.

You might want to get rid of an old tattoo for many reasons. Actually, statistics show that 78% of people who have tattoos regret getting at least one of them.

So what should you do if you don’t like your old tattoo anymore?

 

You can either get rid of it, fix it, or hide it.

 

It all depends on you; however, we suggest that as long as it can get covered up, just let it be covered up to preserve that body art and also some of your money (tattoo cover-ups are generally cheaper than tattoo removal)

 

Here at Pearl Lemon Tattoos, we are available to help you with all tattoo cover-up work you need.


So, ready to get that tattoo buried with a great cover? Set an appointment with us.

What Makes the Best Small Tattoo For Cover Up

Although it’s commonly believed that wearing something in a bright, vibrant hue will help hide a tattoo, this isn’t always the case. For example, if you got a red square tattoo over your ex’s initials, you could still see them through the colour.

 

So, the best cover-up tattoos have a lot of lines and shading that are full of colour.

 

The best tattoos have detailed designs like mandalas and animal prints, detailed lettering, and traditional American tattoo styles.

Get That New Ink With Our Experienced Tattoo Artist

It’s easier to cover a tattoo than to have it removed. Not to mention, it’s a lot cheaper too. So if you do not like how your old tattoo turned out, you may want to cover it up with some of the best tattoo cover-up ideas enumerated above!

 

Before anything else, it is best to consult with your tattooist to see if your idea would suffice. Some of the questions to ask include:

 

  • Can the cover-up design you want really hide the current tattoo?
  • Does a solid black cover-up ink create beautiful body art?
  • Instead of covering it, can you instead make it pop or add another tattoo to compliment the old one?
  • Is it possible to make the old tattoo part of the new ones?

You should consider all these and more before deciding on a cover-up.
