#14 Wonderful Cover-Up

Image source: tomas_daubaras_d Laura Zaini : “Just wow” Angeldust McQuade : “Major upgrade!”

#15 Well-Executed Cover-Up Project

Image source: redemptiontattoostudios Ella Zelhofer : “HOW??? It looks like they have a screen on their arm!”

#16 It Looked Bad Before The Cover

Image source: guppy.flowertattoo XenoMurph : “It’s not terrible, just looks faded and old. That new one will be impossible to cover once it’s as old.” CG : “I wouldn’t say the old one is bad. A bit old, and would have benefitted from a touch up. New one is excellent, for sure.”

#21 Bull Cover-Up

Image source: bk_tattooer Fickle_Pickle : “I was advised by a good friend of mine who is a tattoo artist to never ever get hand tattoos.

Image source: shaman_ink 𝖊𝖜𝖔𝛋 : “I don’t get why cover ups are often so much larger than the original? Doesn’t that make it almost impossible if the person wanted it reworked or covered up again in future?” CG : “While a great new tattoo, it’s not covering the entirety of the old tattoo. Just look closer to the shoulder area on both sides. Sections of the old tattoo are still visible, and if I focus in, I can see the old tattoo still visible through the new one at certain places.”

#26 Homer Rework

Image source: mat_paglione Diolla : “Outstanding colour saturation and linework!”

#27 After Cover-Up

Image source: blaquebird Tabula Rasa : “Damn, that’s skill.”

#28 Many Will Find It A Very Unusual Design, But It Was Created By My Client 20 Years Ago And Has Great Meaning. The Proposal Was To Keep The Same Idea As The Design But Keeping It More Current

Image source: mazierotattoo Tamra : “Damn, this is a stunning tattoo, nevermind the excellent cover up.” Ąåřţđęşịɠŋȿ : “ok… that is soooo much better. Excellent upgrade. Worth the bucks” CG : “I like the idea of the tattoo. I personally wish the rest of the lion’s mane was the same colour as the sun, but I love the idea.”

#29 Beautiful Cover-Up Tattoo

Image source: archers_ink Angi : “Beetlejuice” Tamra : “I love the dimension given by the use of shadow beneath the serpent.”

#30 Another Tribute Made To Lilith

Image source: azevedoarts Mrs S : “Lovely!”

#31 Eventually It Could Use More White In Some Areas I Think But For Now We’ll Get To The Other Side Where I Have To Work On Top Of The Exact Same Tone And Structure

Image source: jessimanchester Polterbean : “What is the first one supposed to be?”

#18 Grampus Cover-Up

Image source: honor_tattooist Tabula Rasa : “The colors, the shading,…wow.”

#19 I Took Advantage Of The Cat’s Structure To Create A New Drawing And Also Took Into Account The Anatomy Of Her Body, Muscles, Tendons And Bones

Image source: mazierotattoo Leona : “I like the original one” C.O. Shea : “Must have hurt like hell, though… on the bone like that?”

#20 Spider Cover-Up

Image source: tamar_skullfield Blue Bunny of Happiness : “I think I preferred the original, the cover up is too realistic!”

#21 Bull Cover-Up

Image source: bk_tattooer Fickle_Pickle : “I was advised by a good friend of mine who is a tattoo artist to never ever get hand tattoos. Reason being we wash our hands more often than the rest of our body. The ink will fade faster. Looking at this picture, I can say there’s some truth to what he said.”

#22 Cover-Up By The Amazing Tata At Recycle Tattoo, Ho Chi Minh City

Image source: supermegabot ifound_acoolfrog : “Buttiful” LokisLilButterknife : “That is stunning! It looks like an illustration right out of a children’s book.”

Image source: marko_tattoo aricely : “HOLY S**T THAT’S BEAUTIFUL” Jamieson Ashkewe : “Damn that’s insane”

#24 Covered-Up This Old Moon

Image source: yerae_tt Tabula Rasa : “Very pretty, and hardly larger than the original.”

#25 This Is The Most Detailed Piece I Have Ever Done In Such A Short Span Of Time, Less Than A Month, 8 Sessions. Everything Below The Neck Is Healed

Image source: shaman_ink 𝖊𝖜𝖔𝛋 : “I don’t get why cover ups are often so much larger than the original? Doesn’t that make it almost impossible if the person wanted it reworked or covered up again in future?” CG : “While a great new tattoo, it’s not covering the entirety of the old tattoo. Just look closer to the shoulder area on both sides. Sections of the old tattoo are still visible, and if I focus in, I can see the old tattoo still visible through the new one at certain places.”

#26 Homer Rework

Image source: mat_paglione Diolla : “Outstanding colour saturation and linework!”

#27 After Cover-Up

Image source: blaquebird Tabula Rasa : “Damn, that’s skill.”

#28 Many Will Find It A Very Unusual Design, But It Was Created By My Client 20 Years Ago And Has Great Meaning. The Proposal Was To Keep The Same Idea As The Design But Keeping It More Current

Image source: mazierotattoo Tamra : “Damn, this is a stunning tattoo, nevermind the excellent cover up.” Ąåřţđęşịɠŋȿ : “ok… that is soooo much better. Excellent upgrade. Worth the bucks” CG : “I like the idea of the tattoo. I personally wish the rest of the lion’s mane was the same colour as the sun, but I love the idea.”

#29 Beautiful Cover-Up Tattoo

Image source: archers_ink Angi : “Beetlejuice” Tamra : “I love the dimension given by the use of shadow beneath the serpent.”

#30 Another Tribute Made To Lilith

Image source: azevedoarts Mrs S : “Lovely!”

#31 Eventually It Could Use More White In Some Areas I Think But For Now We’ll Get To The Other Side Where I Have To Work On Top Of The Exact Same Tone And Structure

Image source: jessimanchester Polterbean : “What is the first one supposed to be?”

#32 Cherry Blossom Butterfly Cover-Up By Me

Image source: Winatattooshop Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My! : “The butterfly looks like it’s taking off or landing.”

#33 Dr. Suess Cover-Up

Image source: SnazzyVanWinkle CG : “Smart use of the old tattoos.”
