At MichalskiArt we understand that not every tattoo turns out to be the right decision. Sometimes the choice of design was not fully thought out, other times the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired, and it can also happen that the design simply does not fit in with your current style. In such cases, a tattoo cover is the best solution.
A cover is nothing but the creation of a new design which covers up the old design and gives it a whole new life. In MichalskiArt we offer a professional approach to covers - we have a lot of experience in this type of realisation, that is why we carefully analyse the existing tattoo, choose the right motif and create a project so that the whole is coherent, aesthetic and matched to your vision. This way, an unwanted tattoo doesn't have to be a problem - it can become the starting point for a completely new artistic story on your skin.
Not every old tattoo can be covered up in any way. There are certain limitations that determine the final result. The most important factors include:
In many cases, the new design needs to be larger and more intense to effectively cover the earlier design. For this reason, minimalist or very bright tattoos rarely work well as covers. On the other hand, a cover gives enormous creative possibilities.
A tattoo cover is more than just covering up an old design. It is a chance to create a new work of art that you will wear with pride. At MichalskiArt, we treat every order individually. At the same time, we care about comfort, safety and an atmosphere in which every client feels at ease.
Tattoo cover is a procedure that involves covering an old design with a new design. At MichalskiArt in Warsaw, we create individual designs that effectively cover unwanted tattoos.
Cover is a good solution if your tattoo is unsuccessful, has faded, you no longer like it or it is associated with unwanted memories.
Not all designs can be covered immediately. It all depends on the size, colour and intensity of the old tattoo. At MichalskiArt, we always assess the possibilities and suggest the best solution - sometimes combining cover with laser brightening.
We first carefully analyse the old design and then discuss your expectations and possible motives during the consultation. Based on this, we prepare a design that not only effectively covers the previous tattoo, but is also aesthetically pleasing, consistent and matches your style.
Mostly yes. The new design usually covers a larger area to effectively cover the old tattoo. This makes the end result look natural and aesthetically pleasing.
Yes, although darker colours are usually used to effectively cover up an old tattoo. At MichalskiArt we choose the colours individually - so that the new design is not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing.
The process itself is no different from standard tattooing. The pain sensation depends mainly on the location on the body and the individual sensitivity. If the cover is performed on an old tattoo or in a scarred area, the discomfort may be slightly greater - this is due to the fact that the skin has already been affected. However, this is not a big difference and in many cases it is similar to the process of getting a first tattoo.
We set the price of a tattoo cover individually - it depends on the size and complexity of the new design, the appearance of the old design and the possible need to lighten it.
