Cover-ups and consultations: what to bring

Cover-ups and reworks start with an honest look at what is there. Book a free consultation and bring a clear photo of the existing piece in daylight, plus notes on what you dislike — too small, too dark, wrong style — and what you would love instead.

Your artist will tell you plainly what is possible: what can be fully covered, what needs one lightening session first, and what could become a rework that keeps the bones and fixes the rest. Darker, larger designs cover best; delicate cover-ups over heavy black rarely hold.

Bring two or three reference images of the direction you want, wear clothing that exposes the area comfortably, and allow 20 minutes. You leave with a plan, a session count, and a fixed quote — booked whenever you are ready.

Put this guide to use.
