Effective Solutions For Tattoo Cover Up

By Edward Cook


Getting inked is a major decision that requires a lot of commitment. Once completed, a tattoo cannot be removed without some pain and also money, as well as time. However, sometimes it is necessary to hide it from the general public. Here are some ideas on achieve a good tattoo cover up, ranging in effectiveness and also affordability.

Deciding to get inked should not be a spontaneous decision, but on occasion, this is precisely the case. As a result of said spontaneity, sometimes tattoos are placed in areas that become a hindrance to every day living: an eyesore for work or family and friends, perhaps even offensive to others; it may not be aesthetically pleasing for certain occasions such as a wedding; or it simply may be something a person regrets doing.

Different cover up techniques will work for different sized tattoos. The location of the piece and the intensity of the colors will also play a part. Perhaps all you need to conceal it is a particular piece of clothing, an accessory like a watch or simply to wear your hair down. These are all easy ways that cost you nothing to do, until you are ready to show it or remove it.

There are a number of makeup brands on the market specializing in covering up marks on the body from acne, rosacea, vitiligo and tattoos. These concealers are very highly pigmented in order to achieve the desired effect. It is best to build layers gradually rather than apply a thick layer at once. This will help with color-matching and also achieve a more natural, lasting effect.

A good brand for concealing imperfections is Dermablend. Specifically known as a cover up brand, Dermablend sells a Leg and Body Cover, which is great for someone with a tattoo. It has medium-to-complete coverage which lasts 16 hours. Although this particular product does not smear and is also waterproof, some products would require you to set them properly once you've applied them so that they stay put.

Dermablend is on the higher end of the price range for concealers, but it gets the job done. A little less expensive is the Kat Von D makeup brand, by former tattoo artist by the same name. Who better to know about concealing tattoos? The Lock-It concealer is a top-rated product, both highly pigmented and oil-free.

Not all concealers for this job are expensive. There are some drugstore brands with products that work just as effectively, such as the maximum coverage, oil-free bestseller by E. L. F., which costs only three dollars. Hard Candy also has a Glamouflage Concealer for six dollars, which comes with a second product - a pencil in the corresponding shade for outlining the tattoo before concealing.

Makeup works well on a short-term basis or for special occasions. Perhaps you don't even want to permanently cover your tattoo, so makeup is the best option for you whenever you need it. However, if you do happen to regret your artwork and want it gone altogether, then you can also consider covering it up by adding an entirely new piece over the old one, or incorporating it into a completely different design.
