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.
Blackwork, Japanese backgrounds, neo-traditional designs, ornamental patterns and heavy florals often give artists more room to mask old ink.
The simulator is for planning. Old ink density, scars, skin texture and laser history still need professional evaluation.

Passez d'une idee large a une reference utile en quelques etapes.
Use a clear photo with the full old tattoo visible.
Try larger shapes, blackwork, florals, Japanese backgrounds or ornamental patterns.
Bring two or three realistic directions to your cover-up consultation.
A touch-up refreshes old ink. A cover-up changes the composition to hide or redirect it.
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.
