Question 1

Can every tattoo be covered?

Accepted Answer

Not every tattoo can be fully concealed in one step. Darkness, color, size, scar tissue and placement all affect the options. We review photos before recommending coverage, rework, incorporation or laser lightening.

Question 2

Will I need laser removal first?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes partial lightening creates a better and less restrictive design, but it is not automatically required. The artist will explain whether it would materially improve the result after reviewing the existing tattoo.

Question 3

Why might the new tattoo need to be larger?

Accepted Answer

The new design needs enough contrast, flow and detail to redirect attention from the old tattoo. A slightly larger composition often gives the artist more control and produces a cleaner result.

Question 4

How are price and sessions estimated?

Accepted Answer

They depend on the current tattoo, the new concept, coverage, placement and artist. Your assessment includes the expected scope and session plan before you pay a deposit.

Question 5

Can I plan a cover-up if I am traveling to NYC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Include your travel dates in the form. We can review the tattoo remotely and determine whether the project and healing schedule fit your trip before you book flights or accommodations.
