Guide 01

Cover-ups need more size and contrast

A new design cannot simply erase old ink. It needs darker values, larger shapes, texture and smart negative space to move attention away from old lines.

  • Expect the new tattoo to be larger than the old one.
  • Use dark areas where old lines are strongest.
  • Pale or tiny designs rarely cover heavy ink.

Styles that work well for cover-ups

Blackwork, Japanese backgrounds, neo-traditional designs, ornamental patterns and heavy florals often give artists more room to mask old ink.

  • Blackwork works for heavy linework.
  • Japanese waves, smoke and flowers redirect the eye.
  • Neo-traditional gives strong outlines and saturated color.

Guide 03

Confirm the final plan with an artist

The simulator is for planning. Old ink density, scars, skin texture and laser history still need professional evaluation.

Entscheidung

Was du vor der Wahl vergleichen solltest

Cover-up vs. touch-up

A touch-up refreshes old ink. A cover-up changes the composition to hide or redirect it.

Laser first vs. direct cover-up

Some tattoos cover better after fading. An artist can tell whether laser is worth considering.

Haeufige Fragen

Can any tattoo be covered?

Not always. Very dark, scarred or large tattoos may need laser fading or a much larger design.

What styles are best?

Blackwork, Japanese, neo-traditional, ornamental and bold floral styles usually work better.

Is the simulator final?

No. It is a planning preview. A tattoo artist must design the final cover-up.
