How a Cover-Up Works

1

Send Us a Photo

Message us on WhatsApp with a photo of the tattoo or scar you want covered. We'll assess it and let you know what's possible — honestly, no pressure.

2

Free Consultation

Come into the studio or book a video call to meet your artist, discuss ideas, and get a clear quote. We'll show you examples of similar work so you know what to expect.

3

Your Transformation

Your artist creates a custom design that works with (not against) what's already there. Then we bring it to life. Most cover-ups take 1–3 sessions depending on size and complexity.

Investment

Transparent Pricing

Every cover-up is unique. Here's what to expect so there are no surprises.

"I've got a cover up so well done that even if I deeply look at it, I can't spot any sign of my previous tattoo. The staff is friendly and really professional and does everything to accommodate your requests and get the best out of it!"

Common Questions

Cover-Up FAQs

Most tattoos can be covered or significantly improved. Some very dark or large tattoos may need a lightening session first. Send us a photo and we'll give you an honest assessment of what's possible — no sugarcoating.
Yes. We regularly work with scars from surgery, injury, and other causes. Scar tissue behaves differently to regular skin, so it requires an experienced artist — which is exactly what we provide. Our scar camouflage work has helped hundreds of clients feel confident again.
Cover-ups start from £500 for smaller pieces. Larger projects are typically £1,000+. We'll give you a clear quote after assessing your existing tattoo or scar. We also offer 0% finance for up to 12 months so you can split the cost.
Most cover-ups take between 1 and 3 sessions depending on size and complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Covering an existing tattoo feels similar to getting a regular tattoo. Scar tissue can be slightly more sensitive, but our artists are experienced in making the process as comfortable as possible.
We'll always be upfront with you. If a full cover-up isn't possible, we'll discuss alternatives — like a rework, a blast-over design, or laser lightening sessions before the cover-up. We'd rather give you honest advice than overpromise.
