Disadvantages of Getting Cover-Up Tattoos
It’s amazing to think, as many as 45 million Americans have tattoos. But what’s even more amazing, nearly 17 percent of these tattooed individuals eventually want to remove a tattoo.
It seems the impulsive urge to get tattoos is also responsible for 100,000 “tattoo undos” annually. Either way you look at it, there is a lot of tattoo ink going down… via new tattoos being inked or old tattoos getting re-inked with tattoo cover-ups.
Ironically, the alternative tattoo removal method in such high demand, doesn’t involve removing tattoos at all. Cover up tattoos; remove tattoos in a sense by replacing old unwanted images with fresh overlay tattoo designs. And although cover-ups are very popular ways to clear the body’s canvas of unwanted tattoos, they also come at a price.
The Cons Tattoo Cover-Ups
You know the saying “size doesn’t matter?” Well, with tattoo cover ups size does matter; in fact it matters a lot.
In order to completely hide underlying ink, the size of cover-up tattoos must be larger than the size of existing tattoos. Having to adhere to certain size criteria can create challenges and limitations for the tattooing artist.
