Can every old tattoo be covered up?

Almost any tattoo can be covered up. The first step is coming into the studio so we can design something that works well over your existing piece.

How old does an existing tattoo need to be before a cover-up?

The old tattoo just needs to be fully healed, which is usually at least 1 month after it was done.

Is it easier to cover a tattoo that's been laser-faded?

Yes, faded tattoos are easier to cover, and you'll have more design options to choose from.

Is sending a photo enough for a cover-up, or do I need to come in person?

For cover-ups, we do need to see you in person — examining the existing tattoo in the studio is essential for designing the best possible cover-up for you.

Why does a cover-up cost more than a regular tattoo?

Cover-up work requires far more detail and a very specific kind of expertise compared to tattooing on bare skin, which is why it's priced higher than a standard tattoo.

If a spot is missed or fades, do you do free touch-ups?

All our work comes with a studio guarantee — if something needs fixing, we take care of it free of charge. The area needs to heal first, which takes about 15 days.
