How to make a good cover up?
The cover ups are always the hardest part of the tattooing.I will not explain about the small pieces which can be covered with ordinary tattoos. Lets talk about the big ones. First I speak with customer and I expalain how the cover ups work.Some cover ups need time to find the right idea and design. I make a photo of the old one and printed out.Then I start to think about  LOLI make some sketches over the photography using the old tattoo for the darkest part of the new one. When the idea is clear I start with freehand,the best way for the most big coverups. Try to use thick lines,dark shading(almost pure coror for outlines).The good cover up has a good contrast by the colors. Some project coverup take a few weeks until I got the right idea to apply. Every tattoo is possible to be covered up,just need time and money for it Here is example:

just wondered if there were any pieces you thought weren't going o be possible to cover at first - and if you found a solution. (ie too much black, awkward position/size). And what your favourite solution was?

(ie too much black, awkward position/size). And what your favourite solution was? regards gurgi Hi all, hi gettattoo! I know gettattoo for seven years (or more) - he is really very gifted tattoo artist. I'll help with translating the question of gurgigirl, because I think it's interesting and deserve better answer  Translation of the of gurgigirl's question (in Bulgarian): QUOTE Чудя се дали е имало някакви области, които си считал, че не е възможно да се покрият първоначално, и в последствие все пак си открил решение. (например там е имало твърде много черно или пък отвратително място/разположение/големина).
И какво е било любимото ти решение на такъв проблем? |

Поздрав,, Ge tatattoo,, от който аз съдя преводач Тази страница http://ft.translator-bg.com/ с надежда то създава сетиво до вас. Аз ще го поделя с останалото от форум, и вероятно то ще всички ни даде да комуникираме по-добре. С надежда ние можем да осъзнаем някакви български думи, и вероятно то ще ви помогне да осъзнаете някакви по-английски думи. Чудесно покрийте работното място, аз съм впечатлен точно.
I found an English to Bulgarian translator at this site http://ft.translator-bg.com/ maybe it will help us all. This post has been edited by RideThatNeedle: Feb 18 2008, 09:17 AM |

I made another cover up,which look kind of unfinished,because I plan to continiue with some details around it. The customer was in hurry because he have to leave the next days to the North Pole
Anyway I cover the old one. For the outlines I use a 9 open liner,and for the shading and coloring 9 round magnum and round 7 shader. 5 hours work. Will be beter result if I had enough time and 2 sesions.
