Cover Up Tattoo Artist Designs & Ideas for Men and Women

10 Creative Cover Up Tattoo Ideas

Cover up tattoos are a great way to get past any tattoo mistakes you might have made or even for the basic cover up of your older or faded tattoo. As a tattoo lover you would want a tattoo to remain with you for eternity and to ensure that you can always get a new one instead of getting rid of your unwanted tattoos.

Cover up tattoos are probably the best choice because of one main reason - the familiarity. You do not have to go through a procedure to take care of the tattoo which will take multiple sessions or cost almost a fortune. You are already familiar with the tattooing process of going to an artist, choosing and finalizing a design and then getting your tattoo. For your cover up you can just consult your previous artist. Additionally, you have your after care products already with you and there is literally nothing new that you need to be scared of. That definitely is unbeatable because we all love our comfort.

Cover ups cheaper and quicker as compared to laser removals. If you are still confused as to what to choose, consult your artist for cover up tattoos. They are the professionals. They will help you in a better way.

The things that you need to consider while getting a cover up tattoo is the color of your existent tattoo, the design of the cover up tattoo based on the older one, the artist, of course, and lastly, the age of the old tattoo.

Wondering if cover up tattoos actually do the job well? Well, we have got that covered.

Cover Up Tattoo Placement Ideas & Designs Inspiration with Meaning

Below we have 10 of our clients who have gone home with their cover up tattoos with utmost satisfaction.

Quote - Cover Up Tattoo with Rose Flower on Forearm

Here, you can see that a darker shade of the previous quote tattoo was covered up by using a darker sketch over it, in the new flower tattoo. Even though the old tattoo seemed dark, the new tattoo has a mix of vibrant colors.

Sun - Cover Up Tattoo with Floral Mandala on Back

A faded sun tattoo at the nape of the neck has been beautifully covered up with a huge flower tattoo. As you can see clearly, none of the old tattoo is visible and mostly because the new tattoo is darker at that particular area of cover up.

Symbols - Cover Up Tattoo with Musician Portrait on Shoulder Bicep

Symbols mostly have relevant significance for the people who get them tattooed but that does not mean that it cannot be covered up with something just as relevant to your life or personality. A music head would love to get their favorite musical persona tattooed on their hand. Here, you can see that the person chose to go with the musical persona and covered up the older symbol tattoos.

Symbol - Cover Up Tattoo with Blue Color Flower on Arm

Here, the green symbols of the older tattoo have been covered up using the bright blue color of the flower. Again, it is evident that tattoos need not be covered up with black ink only. However, notice that the old tattoo here is quite faded which makes it possible to use lighter color for the cover up tattoo.

Butterfly - Cover Up tattoo with Flower & Bird Cage on Back Shoulder

The older butterfly tattoo is significantly darker here and that has been cleverly covered with the cover up tattoo's darker part. The new bird cage tattoo is prettier and has colors in it too but the part that needs to be covered has the black part of the cover up tattoo. Hence, you can get colored tattoos as cover up tattoos even when the older tattoo is darker but you will need to have such incorporations of black color as well.

Symbol - Cover Up Tattoo with Lotus Flower on Back Shoulder

This cover up tattoo is again proof that all cover up tattoos need not be darker. The lotus cover up tattoo has lighter petals which gives it a minimal, serene look. The older tattoo has been covered up with the darker center of the lotus tattoo.

Cross - Cover Up Tattoo with Eagle Bird on Wrist

Again, the cross tattoo is dark and is placed at a tricky spot too. Alex Shimray, our exceptional artist, covered it up pretty well with the raven tattoo. A raven being a completely black bird and also symbolic in life, was one of the most ideal choices here. So no matter where the tattoo is located, your artist can cover up your tattoo, with their creative ideas.

Customized Tattoo - Cover Up tattoo Remodelled on Chest

Now, at times you might have a tattoo that is just a bit faded or you just want to style it further. That is also a possibility as you can see here. The older tattoo has been remodelled and revamped. Such cover ups are also great if you want to retain the same design but have just minor changes to it.

Symbol - Cover Up Tattoo with Rose Flower on Hand

Here you can see that a red symbol tattoo has been covered up with a big, red rose. Flower tattoos are a major highlight in cover up choices (as is clear from this list as well). In this cover up tattoo, the older red color has been hidden away with a darker, lively red to cover up the old tattoo.

Quote - Cover Up Tattoo with Animal on Forearm

In this tattoo, there is a huge transition. From quotes to an animal tattoo. It really does not matter what your previous tattoo was; you can get a cover up tattoo of any design as long as it does the job. Here, a black bear cover up tattoo has been made with modern styles and color incorporations.

Cover up tattoos are not to be shied away from. They are not new and are comfortable, easier and cheaper than other alternatives. You just need to walk in to your favourite, trusted studio and consult your artist. Remember, there are some artists who are experts in cover ups and visiting them is ideal for your cover up tattoo. As a tattoo lover, why would you want to get rid of a tattoo when you can have a better and new one instead?
