How a cover-up is planned

Darkness of the old piece, size of the new design, and how many sessions it takes. With examples.

I started tattooing in 2014, in large studios with busy crews. The most important thing I learned there was that a good tattoo begins at the table, talking, long before the needle.

Today I work alone in my own studio. Shading, texture and portrait detail are where I spend most of my time. We plan the piece together, test size and placement on your skin, then start.

The studio opened in 2021. Small, quiet, one chair. There is no waiting area because we only work with one person at a time.
