Cover-Up
I covered an old coloured crest and lettering on the inner forearm with a realistic lioness and two cubs. Black and grey shading defines their faces and fur, with blue accents in the eyes. Leaves frame the portraits along the forearm.
The before photograph shows the original tattoo; the after photograph shows the new composition over the same area. This medium (M) cover-up was completed in one five-hour session using World Famous ink.
The client told me that four artists had declined the cover-up and recommended laser removal first. For this tattoo, I was able to plan and complete a cover-up without laser treatment.
If you have been advised to have laser removal before a cover-up, you are welcome to book a consultation with me before deciding. A cover-up without laser may be possible, depending on the existing tattoo and the new design. I can assess your tattoo and talk through the options with you.
