Cover-up tattoos
Tattoo cover-ups in Barrie that no one will notice
Our rule is simple: if anyone can tell it's a cover-up, we failed. Since 1989 we've been turning tattoos people regret into work they're proud to show.
How it works
Erase the past with confidence
We've been transforming old tattoos since 1989. If you can see the old tattoo through the new one, we didn't do our job.
Consultation
We assess your existing tattoo and explore designs that will fully cover it.
Design
From first sketches to a polished concept, built around what's underneath.
Plan
Cover-ups are usually 3–5 times the size of the original and may take more than one session.
Sessions
We complete the new piece with patience and collaboration.
Tips for a great cover-up
Set it up to succeed
- Larger, more intricate designs give the best coverage
- Stay flexible on style; it gives your artist room to hide the old work
- Trust your artist's experience
- Take your time and don't rush the decision
