Cover ups and Reworks

Cover-up tattoos are some of the most intentional work I do. They require experience, problem-solving, and a clear understanding of how tattoos age and heal. A successful cover-up isn’t about simply hiding an old tattoo—it’s about transforming it into something you’re proud to wear.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in custom cover-up tattoos and reworks, using thoughtful design, strategic placement, and strong fundamentals to redirect the eye and rebuild the piece. Bold linework, controlled contrast, and color saturation are often key, whether the final result is neo-traditional, colorful, or black and grey.

Every cover-up starts with honesty and intention. I take the time to assess what’s possible, design around the existing tattoo, and create a piece that fits the body and reflects who you are now—not who you were when the original tattoo was done. The goal is always the same: a tattoo that feels intentional, cohesive, and built to last.
