In most cases tattoos are permanent, but every so often there comes a time when someone will leave a tattoo studio and either hate what they’ve just gotten inked or grow to like it less and less as time goes on. We all have regrets and should-of-could-of moments. Considering that tattoos are forever, a bad tattoo will remind you every time you look in the mirror, of the tragedy on your skin. Tattoo cover ups are the solution you’ve been looking for.
At Watford Tattoo we have specialist cover-up and Laser Tatto Removal artists who are very skilled and have a wealth of experience in this technique. First, we will need to have a consultation with you so we can see what we are dealing with. Then we will go through your options of design and colours.
When your tattoo was first applied, the ink was deposited approximately one millimetre beneath the skin. This layer of skin is called the dermis, the layer below the epidermis (the skin you see).
As your tattoo cover-ups gets tattooed, the new ink is also deposited within the dermis, together with the old coloured ink. The pigment in the new inks does not go over the top of the old tattoos pigments; rather it combines the two together. Therefore, the stronger or darker coloured ink becomes dominant and lighter colours mix to make new colours altogether. For example: red and blue mixed together, makes purple. The same applies to tattoo ink combining together underneath the skin. In case you have any doubts related to tattoo cover ups, contact Watford Tattoo today!
