Getting a new tattoo is one of the most exciting moments for tattoo lovers. However, sometimes the outcome doesn’t really match our expectations of a tattoo and we wish to cover it up or get rid of it completely. In most cases, tattoo artists will try to save the tattoo by recommending touch-up sessions, but even those cannot rescue something that you simply don’t want anymore.<\/p>\n

Now, getting rid of a tattoo or covering it u with another one can be tricky in some cases. For example, if you want to cover up a black tattoo with another design, you may encounter some issues and limited options. We wanted to explore those options for our readers and in the following paragraphs, you can read about our findings and conclusions. So, without further ado, let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Can You Tattoo Over Black Ink? What You Need to Know<\/h2>\n

What Is Tattoo Cover-Up?<\/h3>\n

Tattoos are always created with the idea of them being life-long designs on your body. But, sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way we want it, and we find ourselves wishing to get rid of a tattoo or we want to cover it up with another, better tattoo design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tattoo cover-up is one of the most common ways people try to save their tattoos.<\/strong> It is also the most cost-effective way<\/strong> to fix an unfortunate tattoo situation. You may wonder who covers up their tattoos. Well, people whose tattoos got messed up by the tattooist’s fault or as a result of a tattoo infection<\/a>, for example. There are people whose tattoos faded out and now they want to give them back a new vibrant shine with a new design as well.<\/p>\n

In some cases, tattoo cover-up is difficult or even impossible. It is best to talk with a tattoo artist to go over all of the options for your tattoo.<\/p>\n

How Does It Work?<\/h3>\n

Tattoo cover-ups work the same way regular tattooing works<\/strong>. The ink is always deposited into the dermis of the skin, regardless of whether there’s some ink in there beforehand.<\/p>\n

Now, the biggest issue one may encounter when it comes to tattoo cover-up is the color of the tattoo one is trying to cover up<\/strong>. Because the pigment of the new tattoo won’t just go on top of the old tattoo’s pigment, it is important to adjust the color of the new tattoo so it doesn’t blend with the previous color.<\/p>\n

Tattoo artists consider black or black & grey tattoos<\/a> the easiest to cover up, especially if one is doing the new tattoo in the same shade. Now, when we say they’re the easiest to cover up, we do not undermine the fact that in some cases it can be difficult or challenging to cover up a bold black tattoo<\/strong>, for example. This usually applies to cases where the black ink has already faded out a little bit. When we’re talking about covering up a brand new tattoo with brand new color, things can get super tricky.<\/p>\n
