Cover-up-Ideen: Hand

Cover up hand tattoos stay bold because hand ink fades

Cover up hand tattoos have less room than a forearm, and the skin moves and fades faster. Bold flowers, a dark butterfly, or a small blackwork shape stay readable. Fine lines blur. If the old tattoo sits across the back of the hand, the new piece often continues onto the wrist so the edges of the old ink are inside the design.

Finger lettering is the hardest of these. A cover on a finger stays small and dark, and it usually needs a touch-up later. Photograph the whole hand, including the wrist, so the preview can show that extension.
