How Tattoo Removal Helps With Tattoo Coverups
With all the amazing tattoo artists around these days getting a cover up is a great way to take care of old, faded body art. The challenge is knowing what is possible with the unwanted tattoo you have. Luckily, laser tattoo removal can fade existing ink particles safely and effectively.
Laser tattoo removal is not only for complete removal, although we’re great at that too. Laser tattoo removal also aids many tattoo artists and enthusiasts who are looking to get a better result out of their tattoo cover-up.
By using our pay-as-you-go treatment approach or buying a 3-pack, you can safely lighten your tattoo and make it easier for a tattoo cover-up. This is a great solution for people looking to really upgrade the real estate on their skin, and don’t necessarily want to go much bigger or darker.
How Many Tattoo Removal Sessions Will You Need For a Tattoo Coverup?
Most artists only need up to 5 sessions of laser removal before they can start to cover up old work. Multiple variables dictate the number of sessions, including skin type, ink colors, and the amount of ink present (how old it is). For more info on this take a look at our video on factors that affect tattoo removal.
Removery Partners with Your Tattoo Artist For Your Tattoo Coverup
For the best results we like to swap notes with your tattoo artist. Regular check ups with your artist after each tattoo removal session will help to see how many more you may need before they can start your new tattoo.
How Soon After Fading Can You Start On Your New Tattoo Coverup?
Our experts recommend you can re-cover the area with your new design a minimum of six weeks after your last tattoo removal session. The whole process can be improved if you stick as close as you can to our aftercare instructions.

What Are The Steps For A Tattoo Cover-Up?
There are basically four steps to your best tattoo cover-up results:

Step #3 – Start & Finish Your Removal Treatments
After an average 3 to 5 sessions your old art will have faded enough to get going on the new piece, depending on what your new art is going to be. If your new art is going to be smaller or more detailed than the original tattoo, it is recommended to completely remove the old tattoo before starting on the new one. Your artist and you can determine the best fading to “blank canvas” for your project vision.
Step #4 – Get Your New Tattoo Art
We recommend leaving it for 6 weeks after your last laser session to begin though. Makes sure to work with your artist to get the old tattoo faded to the correct level or completely removed so you can get the new look you want. Getting the best results takes forethought and planning with your artist. You are going for a new look, so get the one you want, this takes honesty and understanding with all involved in the process.
