Coverup Tattoos by Sky Rockenbach
There’s no shame in wanting to move on from a tattoo. Whether it’s something you’ve outgrown or a piece that brings up negative feelings, a cover-up can be a powerful way to reclaim that space. And it doesn’t have to mean a heavy blackout or oversized design.
There are many creative ways to transform and conceal older work—sometimes so well, you’d never know there was a tattoo underneath. Here are a few examples of beautiful, seamless cover-ups that gave new life to existing ink.
What to Book
Always start with a consultation for a coverup!
Every cover-up starts with a consultation. We’ll need to see the existing tattoo in person, talk through your goals, and figure out the best way to design over it effectively.
Cover-ups work best with detailed designs—things like flowers, fish, dragons, tigers with wings and flames—bold imagery that gives us room to hide the old tattoo without relying on solid black or oversized shapes. Most cover-ups do need to be larger than the original piece to work properly.
In some cases, it can take two passes to fully mask the old tattoo. But often, the first session is enough to transform the piece into something you’ll be proud to wear.
About the Location
Sky’s studio is located within the Salon Lofts (Suite 160) business building, specifically in Loft 2. Upon entering the front doors, simply head to your left — Sky’s studio will be the second door on the left. This private and intimate space is ideal for an artist who works independently and by appointment only. To maintain a peaceful, focused atmosphere, the studio has a limited capacity, and it is kindly requested that no more than two clients be present at any given time.
