A tattoo cover up is a procedure in which a person can cover an existing tattoo with a new design. This is typically done when someone is dissatisfied with the design of their existing tattoo, or the artwork has faded over time. However, the process is not as simple as it sounds. It requires the skill of a professional tattoo artist to be able to cover up an existing tattoo with a new design. The artist must be able to effectively cover up the old tattoo while still creating a beautiful new design. The process can take multiple sessions, as the artist needs to ensure the new artwork covers the old one completely.
