Tattoo Cover Up Is Necessary

By Amy Ward


Generally most people do not think about covering up or altering a tattoo at the time they get it. However, tattoo cover up may eventually become a necessity. Many employers require their employees to cover any art especially in a business office. There also may come a point in ones life when they regret the decision they made to add the tattoo to their body and want to change it completely. These are only a few reasons one might find it necessary to look for a solution.

Before really looking into solutions that may be available for tat cover up, one should decide what end result they are looking for. A decision should be made whether they are looking for the tattoo to be covered temporarily or if it should be permanent. Additionally, figuring out what their budget is may also be a consideration in determining what to look into and what will work as a viable solution.

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.

After thinking about it, one may decide that finding a cover up that is temporary will work. If this is indeed the preference, one can research the many concealers and makeup that has been designed for this purpose. Theses products are easy to find and widely available at retail locations. There are may options which include waterproof and smudge proof products. There are products that say they are easy to apply and use with maximum coverage 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.
