TATTOO COVER-UPS • DELRAY BEACH
A successful cover-up does not simply place a new picture over old ink. It redesigns contrast, scale, direction, and focal points to control what is underneath.
Cover-up art must be meaningful and visually strong while also solving a technical problem. That requires flexibility in style, size, placement, and color value.
The artist evaluates saturation, scarring, size, placement, and how much the existing tattoo has faded.
Most cover-ups must be larger than the original tattoo to redirect the eye and create usable structure.
Dark values, texture, and strategic focal points are used to reduce the visibility of old ink.
Black and grey, blackwork, color, floral, ornamental, and textured designs can provide useful tools for cover-up planning.
