Tattoo remorse (also called tattoo regret) is common as we age. It is estimated that more than 50% of people with, for one reason or another want to have them removed. There are many solutions for tattoo removal today—laser and creams being the most common. However, there are varying degrees of success with each removal process. Because of that, another solution is to consider tattoo cover up.

Tattoo cover ups are becoming more and more popular to hide tattoos you no longer want. Sometimes a tattoo that seemed to make so much sense at the time a few years later becomes something you just can’t live with any more. Perhaps you have a tattoo that has faded and you feel no longer looks veryvibrant. Well there are solutions for all of these situations in the form of what is referred to as tattoo cover up.

One solution to get rid of tattoos with letters and names is to try and have the letters altered so they say something else. There is a story that Johnny Depp, the popular character actor, had his tattoo that read “Winona Forever” redone so that it became “Wino Forever”. You can really get creative with this. So talk it over with a tattoo professional and they willprobably have some unique suggestions.

Another solution to cover up tattoos is to use a design as a cover that is filled with much intricate detail. Tribal tattoos are often a good idea that works. Because of their abundant colors and detail, they can often blend and cover old tattoos quite well. Ask your tattoo artist about placing a tribal tattoo over the tattoo you no longer want. This method will quite often have great results. There are a number of good sources for tribal designs and newer unique tattoo patterns that would work well as tattoo cover ups and can be located without much trouble on the Internet.

Sometimes there is the desire to just conceal a tattoo temporarily instead of complete tattoo removal. Maybe you don’t want that tattoo to show for a first meeting with the new parents. Another idea would be to use a special make up designed to cover up tattoos. This is something that would not be permanent, but there are certain make up products that work well for this for temporary situations. If you go for this solution you want to make sureyou use a product that has a concealer and neutralizer and is uniquely designed for tattoos. That way it won’t run or melt or be seen through until you are ready to take it off.

If these ideas don’t suit you there is always the more conventional tattoo removal methods involving fade creams or laser treatments.
