The Art of a Cover-Up: Bringing Life to Old Ideas

At Harm the Karma Tattoo, we blend both artistry and technique to transform old or outdated tattoos into new and meaningful art that lasts a lifetime. Covering up an existing tattoo involves more than just overlaying a new design; it requires careful planning, an understanding of color theory and tonal values, and much more– all through skillful application and techniques.

Why Consultations are Important 

During a thorough consultation, our artists assess the current tattoo and discuss your vision, setting realistic expectations based on factors like size, color, location, and age of the tattoo. Our goal is to guide you through the tattooing process to create aesthetically pleasing, lifelong art while providing the most satisfactory experience possible. 

 Let Us Show You a Different Experience 

Successful cover-ups often utilize larger designs and both intricate color-work and shading to mask the old tattoo effectively. The process may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired result, especially for complex designs. Our studio offers half-day and full-day sessions, providing ample time for our artists to work meticulously on your cover-up, ensuring a high-quality tattoo. We strive to enhance the tattoo experience by offering personalized services and professional expertise while keeping in mind the overall goal of your tattoo. Harm the Karma believes in partnering with all clients, no matter the subject matter.
