Clothing that covers up. Depending on the location of the tattoo, it might be possible to get away with choosing clothes that will adequately hide it — something to keep in mind when deciding where to display a piece of body art. Unfortunately, for those who live in hot climates or have tattoos on commonly visible places, this isn’t always an option.
Keys to concealer. Regardless of the tattoo’s location, body concealer is an excellent choice when it’s necessary to cover up a tattoo during the workday. The key to covering up a tattoo successfully is to match the shade as closely as possible to the natural skin tone.
Also, it’s important to recreate the flaws of the skin or its mottling. Creating imperfections helps to produce a more realistic look. As such, add another shade of makeup to the concealed area to give the cover-up a natural appearance.
Choosing a concealer. One of the most effective body cover-up products is Dermablend Leg and Body Cover, a long-lasting concealer specifically designed to cover tattoos and other large areas of the body. Lasting 16 hours, this lightweight formula also offers sun protection. To ensure that the concealer doesn’t smear or smudge, follow with a setting powder like Dermablend Loose Setting Powder.
The permanent solution. For those who aren’t particularly attached to their tattoos, laser surgery is currently the best option for permanent removal. Be aware that it can be pricey and time-consuming. Tattoo removal can cost around $200-$500, and some tattoos may require more than 15 individual sessions, according to Info Plastic Surgery.
