This guy is in my home town…. And charges roughly 20 bucks more than I do………….
Whats the first thing that comes into your mind when seeing people like this?

I have a worse example Len :o
A boy from the next village contacted me on FB and asked me if i could repair his home tattoo done by someone he paid £20 for. It was a cover up of a home tattoo so there are 2 tattoo’s on his arm but how the hell do you start on this mess?
I wouldn’t know where to start and would NEVER attempt to repair this even if i was a pro :lol:
I think a session of laser surgery to lighten it then a coverup maybe could be attempted as its very dark!
As for that dishwasher cleaning that’s that bad its hilarious :lol:

Start with clear contact paper to get the lines of what is already there exactly as it is, then use some opaque whitening sessions, 2-3 should do it. Once you have that start looking for or coming up with designs that would fit relatively well over the existing piece, use alot of purples, dark dark blues, blacks and dark greens maybe, even black and grey The contact paper is so that you get the design exact. When doing the whitening make sure to ONLY ink over the existing black and basically dig it in (not enough to scar).
I charge 125 per whitening session for small to mid size pieces and 200 for larger ones. The whitening will mute the blacks to a muddy greyish color making them easier to cover with either color or B/G. The KEY to cover up like this is imagination and contact paper. Seriously.
The thing about cover-ups is the challenge. It is a skill that few possess these days and fewer are willing to learn, the thing is that if all the tattoos we did were easy then everyone would be doing this sh**. -

I’ve seen whitening done, but wasn’t quite sure of the best way to go about it. You should repost this in its own topic, if you haven’t already, in the Design Ideas/Technique topic. Thank you!
