Can you tattoo over birthmarks?

In most cases, yes. A skilled artist assesses the area, then designs a cover that fully hides what's underneath. Our generator shows you realistic options first so you walk into the shop knowing what you want. Birthmarks vary in color and texture, so coverage comes down to contrast.

What designs hide birthmarks best?

Organic designs, such as florals, waves, and black and grey shading, hide lines and edges. Darker, denser work covers more. Black and grey is the usual choice.

How much does a birthmarks cover-up cost?

A cover usually costs more than a fresh tattoo of the same size. It needs more ink, more planning, and often a larger design. Settling the design before you book keeps studio time down.

Does the generator actually help?
