Covering and Old Tattoo, or Poor Work

We specialise in covering up old or unwanted tattoo's. There are two popular methods...

Tribal Method
This method involves using a dark tattoo, usually tribal, to completely cover the original work. There are limits to cover-ups, you can’t cover something black with something yellow. Areas with ink on them obviously need to be covered, so a design with too many spaces and blank areas may not work.

Whiting Method
This method involves tattooing white ink into the area where the old ink resides. This is most effective with older tattoos and is done to fade a tattoo and make it easier to cover it up with a new tattoo.
