Cover up: give a second life to that tattoo that no longer represents you

19 July 2026

That name, that design from fifteen years ago, that tattoo done in a rush… You're not condemned to live with it: the cover up exists precisely for this.

What a cover up is

It's a new tattoo designed specifically to integrate and conceal the old one. It's not "painting over it": it's a design exercise where the lines, shadows and blacks of the old tattoo are worked into the new piece until they disappear.

What can be covered

Almost anything, with the right design: the darker and denser the original, the larger or darker the new piece will need to be. Old, faded tattoos are the most grateful ones. In heavily saturated cases, one or two prior laser sessions open up a world of possibilities.

How we do it at 357

1. Assessment: we photograph your tattoo and study its density, ink and placement. 2. Design proposal: we create a piece you'll love in its own right — not just a patch. 3. Session: we execute with cover-specific techniques (saturation, layering, contrast).

The result

A tattoo to be proud of again. Many clients tell us their cover up ended up becoming their favourite piece.

Bring your "regret" to the touch-up and cover up assessment at 357 Hair Gallery (Andorra) — you'll see it has far more solutions than you think.
