I don’t take a lot of cover-up requests, usually because my tools are so tiny that it won’t look right covering anything with thicker lines.

But sometimes if a client gives me enough freedom, I can find a light at the end of the tunnel!

Amaly’s tattoo was poorly done about 9 or 10 years ago. I don’t remember exactly how old it is. She suggested a snake to cover it (and I loooooove snakes! 🐍🐍🐍) so I sketched the idea directly on to her body.

Freehand tattooing a cover-up is not in my comfort zone, so this was a challenge that really helped me grow technically as an artist!!

I feel like it was a great success!!
What do you think??
