Cover-up Tattoo Istanbul
A cover-up tattoo is the art of covering an old, unwanted tattoo with a new, original design. At Bosphorus Ink in Istanbul, our artists specialise in cover-up work at our Beşiktaş (Fulya) and Pendik studios. To turn regret into a masterpiece, we are the right address in Istanbul.
How does a cover-up tattoo work?
We first review a photo of your existing tattoo and assess its darkness and size. Then we propose a new design that conceals the old work using dark tones intelligently. In some cases 1-2 laser fading sessions give a much better result.
Can every tattoo be covered?
Most tattoos can be covered; however, very dark or large pieces may first need light laser fading. At the free assessment we give you an honest, clear roadmap.
Why is experience essential in cover-ups?
Concealing old lines and building the new design with the right composition takes mastery. Our cover-up-experienced artists such as Artem and Ramazan ensure a clean, lasting result.
