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

Use a clear photo with the full old tattoo visible.
Try larger shapes, blackwork, florals, Japanese backgrounds or ornamental patterns.

Some tattoos cover better after fading. An artist can tell whether laser is worth considering.
Not always. Very dark, scarred or large tattoos may need laser fading or a much larger design.
Blackwork, Japanese, neo-traditional, ornamental and bold floral styles usually work better.
No. It is a planning preview. A tattoo artist must design the final cover-up.
