Finished this beaut floral coverup today ๐ Iโm so happy with how we transformed this! It shows how important it is to have black in tattoos and lots of contrast โจ Thankyou so much Olivia for your trust!
Her original tattoo was a realistic waterfall scene, and unfortunately shows how these types of tattoos donโt always last the test of time - skin is an ever changing canvas! And without any black or linework to hold the design together it ended up looking very hard to read and smudgy ๐ญ
Luckily she was super up for my idea of some florals with a dark rectangular framed background! It meant we could go dark enough to cover the browns of the original tattoo, whilst reserving the brighter spots of the florals to get some nice lighter colours in!
Coverups are really tricky, they rely on using the old tattoo underneath and working it into the new, camouflaging into shadows and emphasising light where we can. My lovely client made this super easy for me โบ๏ธโจitโs challenging and rewarding!
Iโd love to do more of this floral/shape background style (doesnโt have to be coverups!) send me a message ๐
Im booking Feb onwards!
