Suggestions For Tattoo Cover Up

By Edward Cook


If you have a tattoo, then you know what a commitment it is; a lifelong one, because not every person is able to undergo tattoo removal due to cost, time or even pain. However, you may need tattoo cover up solutions for specific situations. Here are a few suggestions to help you find an effective and affordable way to achieve what you want.

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's a wide variety of makeup brands that specialize in concealing more obvious marks due to acne, hyperpigmentation or tattoo work. These products tend to have a high concentration of pigment in order to properly do the job. It's always best with such products to gradually build the layers instead of applying one thick layer. This gives a longer-lasting, less obvious finish.

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 one of the pricier brands in the range of concealers, but it certainly does the job. Another slightly more affordable makeup brand is by celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D. The Lock-It Concealer is highly recommended and what better product to use to cover up some artwork than something created by an individual with a number of tattoos themselves? This product is oil-free and super-pigmented to really get the job done.

If you're looking for something a little more affordable, try the oil-free, maximum coverage concealer by E. L. F. Which is a bestselling product at only $3. Hard Candy also has a great product on offer. The Glamouflage Concealer costs only $6 and you get an additional pencil for outlining the artwork before concealing. These are available in a number of skin tones.

Covering up a piece with makeup is all well and good for temporary or occasional needs. This method works where an individual may not actually wish to get rid of the piece altogether, but only requires coverage for specific purposes. However, when a tattoo is more of a regret, it may be worth considering covering it with something to be proud of - such as a brand new piece of artwork worth talking about!
