Tattoo Artists who Specialize in Cover-ups??
As the title says, I’m looking for tattoo artists who specialize in cover-ups.
When I was an angsty and impulsive 21 year old, I got an especially angsty and impulsive line work tattoo from someone whose specialty was American traditional. It is messy and I was sick of it within a few months but have been living with it for 8 years. I’ve reached out to a few artists who told me they weren’t comfortable covering it, as it was not in their skill set (I loved each of the artists’ work but appreciate their honesty). They have all suggested I find someone whose expertise is cover ups but I cannot figure out how!
I want to cover it with PNW native plants and maybe birds?? My current piece has no shading or color but I’d be open to shading and color for the cover-up. Current piece is about 6”x 8” so I’d probably need something slightly larger than that.
Idk if this last bit of info is helpful or necessary but PLEASE! I’m getting married in a year and have engagement photos in September. I can cover it for the upcoming photos if needed but I don’t want this on my body on my wedding day.
Last thing I’ll say is please be nice… while I refuse to say that I “regret” the decision to get this angsty art on me, I can say that I quickly outgrew it and would be better off without it at this point. I still enjoy tattoos but I now feel like mine should honor what I hold dear.
