Covering tattoos

[fairy!]

Does anyone know of a product that covers tattoos? Foundation doesn't work as it isn't thick enought, but I thought there might be a specialist product?

& yeah, I know, the best idea is not to get a tattoo in the first place...

You could try Veil Cream.  I think it was designed for people with large port wine birth marks but their website says it also covers tattoos.

Dermablend is supposed to be able to but I haven't tried it personally.

If you don't like the tattoo you've  got, you could get it covered with another tattoo, something better,brighter, and modern.

If you can't afford to have it removed, i've heard that people are going for the cheaper option and having a tattoo the colour of their flesh put over the existing tattoo. The results look pretty good

Hey fairy, We learnt this at college was good fun but they are ruddy hard to cover, Dermablend and Veil cover are the two most popular as previously stated by the other AB's. Your best bet is to buy a small compact with various colours in rather trying to choose one from a brochure. Different colour tattoos need different colours of cover. E.G Green takes out red etc...

You will need to practice alot to get it right unless you can find a salon or a local college that offer beauty treatments they are really cheap if you go there too as they are all under assesments etc but its completely up to scratch and they wouldn't let any therapist loose who is not competant at what they do. It is alot thicker than foundation too as it needs to be to cover tattoos, moles etc up. It maybe worth while someone having a go for you so you can see how to do it properly etc. Good luck....

Thanks everyone... I'll defo look in to those two products :-) 

Thanks for the suggestion jakesi, but i want to get rid of it all together, & as I can't afford to get it removed, i figured covering it up was the next best thing.

Casey... is it really possible to get flesh coloured ink put over the top??  My tattoo is black so I'm not sure anything would cover it??

Casey, years and years ago I came up with that idea and have since trotted it out as my brilliant invention to make my million whenever I've been in one of those "Should we try and invent something" type conversations!!! 

I always thought that because it was such a simple idea there must have been some reason why no-one had ever tried it!  Ah well, back to the drawing board!

I've been trying to find where I saw this, I found it on google as my boyfriend wants his removed but he's opting for laser surgery when he's got the money. It might be worth asking a tattooist? I will keep searching x
