Tattoo Cover Ups and Re-worked Tattoos

Sadly this reinforces the fact that not everyone is a professional. There are too many Tattoo wannabees with no real talent or enthusiasm operating today.

Almost 50% of our overall custom now comes from Cover up work and Reworking older Tattoos. It's something we are known for and proud to carry this reputation.
This can be covering older faded Tattoos, names or just plain bad workmanship. A lot of Tattoo 'Artists' seem to steer clear of cover up work. I wonder why this is if they are truly 'Artists'? Thankfully, it can be a challenge we enjoy although not every Tattoo is coverable.

Whether it's a piece you regret, poor work or just a change you are after, Eternal Images have the skills and knowledge to make having a cover-up done a great overall experience. Rather than doing just that "covering-up", we aim to make the piece as unique and artistic as we do a fresh Tattoo on virgin skin.
We'll listen to what the client likes and dislikes and can design a custom cover up encorporating either just one Tattoo or a custom montage of designs.

As anyone who has ever had any cover up work done will tell you, it's never a simple process. Common sense tells you that the darker existing colours can only be covered by darker tones and colours, mainly Blacks, Dark Blues, Dark Greens and Browns. This is where our experience and skill as Artists comes into play. We won't just tell you "yeah, you need a eight inch Black-Grim-Reaper to cover that". Alternatively, older Tattoos can be reworked and new life and touch-ups be brought to them.
