Expert Tattoo Cover Up Services in NYC | Inknation Studio
Don’t Live with Ink You Regret. At Inknation Studio NYC, we understand that a bad tattoo can affect your confidence. You don’t always need laser removal. Led by Darwin Enriquez and Zhimpa Moreno, our team specializes in High-End Cover Ups using advanced realism techniques. We turn “mistakes” into masterpieces. By utilizing the texture, depth, and saturation of realism, we can effectively hide old, faded, or poorly executed tattoos without a trace.
Why Realism is the Best Style for Cover Ups
Covering a tattoo isn’t just about putting black ink over it. It requires a strategic distraction.
Texture over Lines: We use complex textures (like hair, feathers, or stone effects) to break up the lines of the old tattoo.
Color Correction: Our artists understand color theory to neutralize old pigments.
Design Flow: We create a larger, cohesive design that draws the eye away from the old area and focuses on the new art.
Not always. In many cases, our realism techniques can cover the old tattoo directly. However, if the old tattoo is extremely dark and dense, we might recommend a few laser sessions to lighten it first for the best results.
Yes. Black and Grey realism or biomechanical designs are excellent for covering heavy tribal black work due to their contrast and depth.
Cover ups require more planning and skill than fresh tattoos. Pricing is based on the complexity and size. Book a consultation so we can assess your current tattoo and give you a quote.
