Realistic Rose Tattoo Manchester

Realistic Cover-up Tattoo

In this blog I would like to talk about one of the last projects I have been working on. I had previously tattooed Amanda, if you have been following my previous work, I have done a full sleeve of butterflies with cherry blossoms, if you remember that tattoo, that was Amanda’s arm, so we had previously worked together, and because she had been through the previous process, as she understood the process, and that when we have faith, we always get there. 

This cover-up realistic rose tattoo took around 2 sessions, by the end of the first session, we had a taste of what was going to look like, however, when clients understood the tattoo process it really helps, they understand that cover-up realistic tattoos sometimes it can take multiple sessions. And every session your tattoo will transform, so having faith in the process is very important. 

When I get requested a cover-up tattoo, I have to see if it’s worth taking on the job, as cover-ups can be difficult depending how dark the tattoo is, and what the client chooses as a design  to work as a cover up. 

Images with textures, it really helps with cover-ups, like leaves, scales, dragon scales, armour, nature. Anything with texture is a really good way to achieve a successful realistic cover-up tattoo. 

So in the second session I had the opportunity to have another pass in the healed tattoo. Working with a healed tattoo is like working with a dry paint, you get the opportunity not only to add layers, but to work in a different perception of the tattoo, working with a fresh mind, it can really make the tattoo look better, than if you only spend one day looking at it. 

One of the best feelings you can have as an artist, is when someone understands what you do, chooses you as an artist, you give the best you can, and they understand how you work a bit more, and after their first experience the trusts increases, and that has a huge difference in an artists mind set, to work with a peace of mind, which it will contribute to the artist doing a better piece of art. 

Doing good art, it requires inner peace, so try to give that to your artist when you get tattooed, and I guarantee you will collect a better tattoo from the artist of your choice.
