What you need to know.
Cover-ups in 2026 can fix almost any tattoo, but there are key things to understand:
1. Shift the focus
If the area allows it, we create a strong new focal point on clean skin and use supporting elements to cover the old tattoo.
2. Go bigger
For a proper cover-up, the new tattoo usually needs to be at least twice the size. Same size = muddy result.
3. Work with the existing tones
Whenever possible, we use a similar value range to effectively hide the old tattoo.
4. Healing matters
Bad healing can ruin even a good tattoo. With cover-ups, skin can be more sensitive or scarred, so proper aftercare is critical.
Send me your old tattoo or scar I’ll show you how it can be fixed

White on black just the way you like it. No filters, no editing, no contrast tricks. I did this piece on myself. I tried tattooing white over black before, but that was on fresh black and I wasn’t happy with the result. This time I reconsidered a few things and adjusted the technique. I’ll show the healed result later. If even 50 percent of what you see now stays, that will already be a success.
