Tribal rework Cover-Up Tattoos for the Chest

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 chest, the chest is a broad, flat canvas, so symmetric pieces — wings, birds, mandalas, florals across the pecs — make natural cover-ups.
