Swipe to see the before picture!
This is part of a full sleeve cover up and boy did i underestimate this one. This was the second session up top but still needs a little more work.. in the process of being humbled, I’ve been reminded of a few things and learned some new things. This is why i love cover ups and “specializing” in them. Every cover up brings about new challenges, from prep, skin type, application, and pain tolerance, therefore pulls and develops different sets of skills than you wouldnt normally need when working on a fresh canvas.
There’s certain criteria i look for in choosing and creating a design for a cover up tattoo. This would be considered step two of my preparation during cover up tattoo. Step one enables us to broaden our range of useable designs.
If you’re interested in improving your cover up skills as an artist or even just a client who’s interested and wants to know it app works. Comment “tattoo coverup” and ill dm you a brief step by step explanation of how i prepare for and execute cover up tattoos.
Also want to say thanks to for always welcoming me with open arms. You guys are amazing, thank you.
