Bring clear photos
Send photos in natural light, taken straight on and from a small distance. This helps the artist understand the existing shape, colour and saturation.
Cover-ups need design freedom
A successful cover-up is usually larger and darker or more detailed than the original. The final direction should be designed around what is already there.
Do not promise an instant answer
Suitability depends on the tattoo, skin and the new concept. A consultation is the right place to discuss realistic options.
Choose a direction you want to keep
Use the cover-up as a chance to select a meaningful, well-composed tattoo rather than simply hiding the old one.
