Tattoo cover up – Lighten an old tattoo

​

​

If you're thinking about a cover-up or tattoo removal for your tattoo, we'll be happy to help you think about options. Cover up is often more successful if the old tattoo is lightened a little before it is done, and it does not require many laser treatments. In this case, the tattoo artist also gets a better surface to work on. After our treatment, the image can be tattooed after about 2 months.

 

Elir Clinic offers tattoo removal and lightening, which allows a new cover-up tattoo to be done easily and neatly. The goal is always an aesthetic and natural end result that respects the well-being and visual appearance of your skin.  We can also lighten parts of your tattoo if you want to continue working with your existing tattoo.

What is a cover up tattoo?

​

Cover up means a new tattoo that is done on top of an old tattoo. A carefully planned cover up covers the previous image, text or color area so that the old tattoo is no longer visible at all or it becomes part of a new whole. The end result can be a completely new kind of tattoo or a cleverly updated version of the previous one.

 

Each cover-up tattoo always requires individual planning, and the process is always carried out individually based on the customer's wishes, skin condition and old tattoo. It is important to consider the colors, degree of darkness and details of the old tattoo, so that the new image can be designed to be as functional and durable as possible. Our service helps to prepare the skin for a new cover-up tattoo, for example by lightening the old pigment, which gives the artist more freedom in the design and improves the quality of the final result.

Laser removal before cover-up tattooing

​

Before the cover-up tattoo, laser treatment can be used for the old tattoo, which lightens or partially removes the color of the tattoo. This makes it easier to design a new tattoo and ensures a better end result - especially when the old tattoo has strong areas of color.

 

Laser treatment can be used to completely remove or lighten the old tattoo, or alternatively for partial lightening, so that the new cover-up tattoo can be neatly attached to the old image. In this case, the old tattoo does not need several laser treatments.

 

The partial removal of the pigment gives more freedom to the design and enables a lighter, brighter and more detailed cover-up tattoo. Make an appointment for a consultation if you are interested in partial lightening of an old tattoo. If, on the other hand, you want to remove the tattoo completely, check out tattoo removal!

Who is tattoo covering suitable for?

​

Covering a tattoo is an excellent option for you who:

 

• You are not happy with your old tattoo

• You want to change the style or meaning of the tattoo

• You want to update an outdated or faded image

• You need an aesthetically more complete and clearer end result

 

A cover-up tattoo can be a solution in a situation where the old image no longer matches your own identity, style or values. Cover up is a good opportunity to update your skin with new, meaningful and visually functional art, without the old tattoo remaining disturbingly visible. A carefully executed preparation of the skin area gives the best possible starting point for making a new tattoo and improves the final result.

Laser lightening of an old tattoo can expand the possibilities in the design of a cover, when the color areas do not limit the details or color choices of the new image. The end result is a cover-up tattoo that looks as if it has always been on your skin.
