Cover-up Story: Covering bad memories
What if your tattoo now reminds you of something you want to forget
Mountain coverup tattoo by Ivan Tahine, Tbilisi
My guest from Germany
had small mountains tattooed,
but she no longer liked them,
as they were connected
to bad memories.
She wanted to cover them completely
and make new mountains on top,
but drawn differently.
The old tattoo was quite dark,
so the only way to cover it
was with a dark tone.
To make the result lighter and softer,
I had to slightly increase the size
and add more light.
Here’s how it turned out.
