Cover-up and rework
An old tattoo hidden under a new design, or a faded one brought back to life.
- Starting price
- from €150
- Typical session
- 1 to 3 sessions, after a consultation
A cover-up is a design built around what is already there: darker areas, strong motifs and texture hide the old lines. A rework keeps the tattoo and redraws it: new lines, new shading, fresh colour.
What is included
- A consultation in person, to see the old tattoo in daylight
- An honest answer on what can be hidden, and how big it has to be
- A drawing made over a photo of your skin
- Sessions planned in advance
- Aftercare instructions in writing
Good to know
A cover-up is always bigger and darker than the old tattoo. If it is very dark, a few laser sessions first give far more freedom: we tell you when that is the case.
We say no when a cover-up would only swap one regret for another.
Aftercare, before you leave
The same four rules for every style, written on the sheet you take home.
Keep the film on
For as long as we told you: a few hours for a classic film, several days for a second-skin dressing.
Wash, dry, a thin layer
Clean hands, mild soap, pat dry with paper, then a thin layer of healing cream, two or three times a day.
No bath, sea, pool or sun
For about three weeks, until the skin has closed. After that, sunscreen keeps the lines sharp.
Do not scratch
The skin peels and itches: let it. Picking a scab takes the ink with it.
Tell us about your project
A few lines are enough: the idea, where on the body, roughly how big. Paste links to references if you have some. We answer within three working days with a price range and a consultation date.
Deposit from €50, deducted from the final price. Kept if you cancel less than 48 hours before.
