Cover Up Tattoos

For the most part tattoos are permanent, but every now and then there comes a time when someone will walk out of a tattoo studio and either hate what they’ve just gotten inked or grow to like it less and less throughout the years. However, tattoo removal doesn’t have to be the answer. Nowadays there are a select few talented tattooists who are skilled in covering up tattoos with images their clients actually want to show the world. Here are some of the top cover up tattoos by some of the top cover up artists.
