Dragon Tattoo Cover-up
In this post I would like to mention about this cover-up tattoo project me and Ryan worked on. Cover-up tattoos are a very different process than when you are doing a tattoo project on fresh skin. When you approach a tattoo where the skin is clear, you have a lot more freedom with the size and style. Approaching Cover-up tattoo it takes a lot more planning, and faith in the process.
Ryan walked in to the studio, he seemed like a really nice and chilled guy, she showed me a tribal he had in the middle of the top of his back. And asked me if I could cover it up. I said, yes it is possible, however, it depends what you would like to get done.
Getting a Tattoo covered, it requires a lot of texture in order to achieve the cover-up, and when the client requests a cover-up tattoo, I mention about the type of tattoos that are possible to work with. If the client is open minded and is wiling to listen and take advice onboard, I do consider taking on the tattoo project. So for me it is really important, to have a consultation before approaching a cover-up tattoo, because you have to make sure your client is well educated about the cover-up process.
One of the most important piece of information, that is important to pass to my clients, is the faith in the process required to achieve a cover-up tattoo. Approaching a cover-up tattoo, is similar to painting a black wall white, you understand that, the wall will not be painted in one layer, and it takes a few layers in order to achieve the full coverage, until the wall looks totally white, so, a cover up tattoo process is something along those lines. I understand not everyone is patient, however, when considering a cover-up, you have to be realistic to your client.
I knew that working with Ryan, I would be ok, as when I spoke to him, he quickly absorbed what I wanted to tell him, he was a quick information absorber, and our philosophies seemed to align with purpose. Also, getting on with a client, and having the same point of views it really helps with the process, and spending time with them.
This Tattoo took multiple sessions to be done, I will try to upload a picture of when he arrived for his last session, which it was the touch-up session, on large tattoos I do offer a touch-up session at the end, which it is completely free of charge, this session allows me, to approach the tattoo with a different and fresh state of mind, and it allows me, to give the tattoo the extra care needed, so im as happy as possible with it.
The last touch-up session it also represents, the respect I have for the client’s dedication, and effort for taking time off to see me, and saving up the money in order to have a good quality Tattoo, so I’m forever grateful for clients who stick with the process, and are patient during the process, and allows me, to push the Tattoo a little further, and allowing me to express my art and ideas on their skin forever.
