Back to Black and White

In designing coverup tattoos, meticulous consideration must be given to effectively concealing any shading, bright colors, and the distinctive shape of the original tattoo. These elements often pose a significant challenge to tattoo artists tasked with transforming an existing piece into a work of art.

An intriguing aspect of this transformation is the glossy appearance of the redefined wings, an effect achieved by strategically incorporating the underlying cover to enhance the overall aesthetic.
