Covering up tattoos, correcting designs, concealing scars, or completing long abandoned projects: many tattoo artists shy away from these challenges, but I truly enjoy them. Form me, it's an incredible opportunity to unleash my creativity, transforming what already exists into something new and full of life.
Moreover, it bring me great joy to help people regain a bit of confidence in themselves through their tattoos and their bodies. Each design has the power to give them back control over their image and turn a mark from the past into a meaninful work of art. Seeing how my clients feel more whole, empowered, and happy with their skin is one of the greatest rewards of my work.
I'm sharing several cover-up and blast-over projects I've worked on.
She had this tattoo, she wanted to keep it but the lines were too broken, and she also wanted to extend it and add elements around it.
in the first session, we fixed his tattoo to make it look a more vivid black, and added shadows on some lines to hide the open lines, we also added the first organic element of the project.
Then I added the geometric and fine line elements that the client had sent me as a reference of what she wanted.
Yeste is the final result with all the elements already applied.This tattoo was really a challenge, since that area of the body is not very compatible with super straight lines, so to cut a little bit of that we added the leaves as a more fluid element and to be able to use better those curves of the body. It was also a challenge to take a picture of this tattoo and be able to appreciate it correctly.
She wanted to cover her old batman, but didn't want to touch the snake above.
She sent some tribals as a reference, and this was the result of what we created.
the client wanted to cover those stars and as a reference she sent me a monstera leaf, which seemed a little difficult to me because in general those leaves are represented more in linear form or with colors, but I proposed her to do something a little more astract, and so we ended up making a piece that is approximately half sleeve.
we started by doing a blast over, with a blade made in dot technique...
and then we add the leaves and some elements like circles and a broken line.
She wanted to start covering up her old tribal...
Since she wasn't sure she wanted to cover it all up, we started with the top part, which is the one that bothered her by showing off her shoulder,
...And we made this blast over with flowers and mandalas, with the possibility of continuing it when she is ready :)
He explained to me that he wanted to cover it up because he didn't feel comfortable and identified with that tattoo. We looked together at different alternatives and decided to make a tribal, which I drew by hand using the same color as the previous tattoo and trying to disumulate its shape a little bit.
And here is the result
She came to me with this tattoo that in parts was unfinished and in some parts was poorly finished, I respected the original idea of what she had already done, since that was what she wanted, and I retouched, fixed and put shadows, what was needed.
