Tribal rework Cover-Up Tattoos for the Shoulder

Old solid-black tribal is some of the hardest ink to cover — but it's very reworkable. Instead of fighting the black, a good design absorbs it: large-scale blackwork, Japanese, or heavy black-and-grey pieces that build on the existing ink. On the shoulder, shoulder cover-ups can wrap over the cap and onto the chest or back, giving you room to grow past the old tattoo.
