Names & ex-names Cover-Up Tattoos for the Shoulder

An ex's name or an outdated word is the classic cover-up — and lettering is surprisingly easy to bury. Floral, ornamental and black-and-grey designs break up the straight lines of text so the old words disappear into the art. 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.
