covering tattoos

[brooky28]

I had a tattoo when i was younger which i now hate and would like to get it covered. Can you cover a coloured tattoo with a black one? Or better still, can you remove coloured tattoos?

You can have tattoos removed with lasers, but it is quite expensive. You can also have it tattooed over with flesh coloured ink, but not sure how affective this is.

My daughter is currently having laser treatment at �130 per time......this is in london. The tat she is having removed is quite dense and almost black. It will take around 6 sessions I think.

Some laser removals are good, but others not. I know someone who had two hearts tattooed on her chest. She paid a fortune to get them removed, and it's left her with the pink outline of where they used to be - even worse than the tattoo itself.

and some colours are easier to remove than others.

if you're going over the old one you'll need something bigger and darker.. which generally defeats the object.

I heard of a guy who had the name of his girl friend Donna as a tat on his arm. After she ditched him he added Kebab.
