Cover-up
Cover-up
A cover-up always turns out better if laser treatments have been done on the previous tattoo.
Do you want to keep a tattoo but change the design? Then a cover-up is a great option.
A cover-up is a new design tattooed over an existing one, so that the old tattoo is no longer visible or becomes part of the new design. Simply put, you get a new tattoo on top of an old one.
How it works
Choose a cover-up design
You probably have a lot of different ideas about the tattoo you wish you had. Decide on a design that would work well to cover your old tattoo.
Find a tattoo artist for your cover-up.
Reach out to tattoo artists you think could create the new design. We collaborate with the best tattoo studios and are happy to provide recommendations.
Laser treatment before a cover-up
For the best results, 3-5 treatments are usually recommended. This gives the tattoo artist the best conditions to work with. Book a consultation or chat with us to find out how many treatments your tattoo will require.
Removal vs. Cover-up
If your tattoo no longer feels like "you" and you've decided to part with it, you'll face a choice – fully remove the tattoo or get a cover-up?
Rethink's specialists are happy to help you make this decision by evaluating your tattoo and providing information on whether a cover-up would be possible. A tattoo intended for a cover-up usually requires only a few treatments. Book a consultation, either digitally or at one of our clinics, and take one step closer to making your decision.
