Cover-Up Tattoos in Ottawa

Got a tattoo you're tired of looking at? Old name, faded lines, a rushed piece from years ago. It happens. Cover-ups are some of my favourite pieces to do.
Every cover-up starts with a free consult. Bring the tattoo in, we look at it together, and I'll tell you honestly what can go over it. Darker and bolder designs cover best, and some pieces need a session or two of planning to get right.
Below are cover-ups done here at the shop in east Ottawa.

Cover-up questions

Can any tattoo be covered up?

Most can. Very dark or very large pieces might need a bigger design or some laser fading first. Come in for a consult and I'll give you a straight answer.

Does a cover-up cost more?

It's priced like any custom piece, by size and detail. Cover-ups often end up a bit bigger than the old tattoo, so plan for that.

How long does a cover-up take?

Smaller ones can be done in one session. Bigger cover-ups may take two or more. We'll map it out at your consult.
