Can any tattoo be covered?

Most can, but the new tattoo must be darker and denser and is usually 30 to 50% bigger. Very dark or large old tattoos may need laser lightening first. Only an artist who sees your skin can confirm.

Why are the designs so much bigger than my tattoo?

A cover-up needs room to hide the old lines inside dense, dark areas, so it always extends beyond the old outline.

Which styles cover best?

Heavy blackwork, dark florals, Japanese with dark backgrounds, black-and-grey realism and bold neo-traditional. Watercolour, fine-line and pastel designs do not cover dark ink.

Can it do a colour cover-up?

Yes, with deep colours such as burgundy, forest green and midnight blue; try the Deep-colour neo-traditional look.

Each design costs a few credits. New accounts get free credits at sign-up.

The trend

What is the Tattoo Cover Up Generator?

A cover-up has rules a normal tattoo does not: the new design has to be darker and denser than the old ink, and usually a third to half bigger, with its darkest parts sitting right over the old lines. That is why flash designs rarely work for cover-ups, and why it helps to see ideas on your own skin first.

Upload a clear photo of the old tattoo and pick a style that covers well: dark florals, a blackwork mandala, Japanese waves, black-and-grey realism or deep-colour neo-traditional. The new design is drawn over the old one on your own arm, with your skin and light kept. Take the result to your tattoo artist as a starting point: only an artist who sees your skin can say what will cover, and very dark old tattoos may need a few laser sessions first.
