A cover-up tattoo is creating a new design over an existing tattoo to hide or replace it. Here is a quick explanation of how the cover-up process works at Golden Rock Tattoo
Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the process:
Consultation: First, we will discuss your existing tattoo; during the consultation, you’ll explain your desired cover-up design, as well as any concerns or questions you may have. We will take a picture of your target tattoo area and show you how it will look once your design is done.
Design: We will work with you to create a new plan that covers or replaces the existing tattoo. We will take into main factors such as the original tattoo’s size, shape, and colour pigments.
Preparation: We will clean and prepare the area before applying the cover-up tattoo stencil. We will shave any hair in the area and use a new stencil to cover your old tattoo.
Tattooing: The artist will then begin tattooing the new design over the existing tattoo. Depending on the size and details of the design, this may take several hours.
Aftercare: After the tattooing is complete, we will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper tattoo healing. This may include keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding sunlight, and applying a healing ointment.
