Names & ex-names cover-up FAQ

Can you tattoo over names & ex-names?

In most cases, yes. A skilled artist assesses the area, then designs a cover that fully hides what's underneath. Our AI shows you realistic options first so you walk into the shop knowing what you want.

What designs hide names & ex-names best?

Organic, flowing designs — florals, waves, black & grey shading — disguise lines and edges better than rigid geometry. Darker, denser work covers more, which is why black & grey dominates cover-ups.

How much does a names & ex-names cover-up cost?

Expect to pay more than a fresh tattoo of the same size — a cover needs more ink, more planning and often a larger design. Planning the design up front (which is what this tool is for) keeps studio time, and cost, down.

Does the AI generator actually help?

It lets you try directions in seconds instead of guessing, so you arrive at your consult with a clear reference and a stencil. The output is a design idea to take to a human artist — not a substitute for one.
