Tattoo Coverup?

Post by Jasmyne »

Although I've not found a need for cover-up products for facial hair (I'm naturally very blond and even my facial hair hardly shows unless I'v not shaved for 2 days), does anyone know of anything out there that will cover up tattoos and look natural?

Several years ago I got a rather large arm tattoo that I LOVE. It goes from the top of my arm to a few inches shy of my elbow, so I can always easily cover it even with most short-sleeved shirts. I got the tattoo before I even considered myself a CD and began to explore that part of myself, so I feel in a bit of an ackward place.

I've seen a lot of clothing I'd love to wear, but have no sleeves. I really can't with the tattoo, and when I have tried it just looks wrong. I'm not opposed to always wearing a sleeve, but was curious about anything that might help.

But will that really work on a large patch like that? And over ink-work done not just in black ink but in vibrant red, yellow and green ink as well?

I'll check out the website now, but I'm hoping someone has tried it over tattoos before....
