Hand-drawn cover-up works use old tattoos as the foundation to create new ones. When doing a cover-up, we need to consider the overall composition carefully. Simply choosing a random design to cover it up is not always the best option.

Body painting is my favorite form of expression because it involves many unexpected processes and creative moments. It requires mutual trust between the client and the tattoo artist to bring a design to life. In fact, many ideas emerge in just a single moment. If you like my designs, please contact me—let’s discover that moment together!

The back of the hand and the upper part of the arm are my work. This is the effect after healing, without any touch-ups. These geometric shapes are very difficult to do because they need to remain symmetrical. So, while they may look simple, they are actually very challenging.

This type of miniature scene usually contains a lot of intricate details. I used round needles to create some of the finer details, which will make them appear even clearer after healing.

The final healed result has no color touch-ups, achieved entirely using single-needle technique for a unique texture.

The client wanted to use splashes of water to cover up the tattoo on their forearm, but I believed that wasn’t the best choice. Instead, I decided to keep the original design and add a background to make the whole piece more harmonious. Next time, we’ll work on modifying two old tattoos and adding more details. I appreciate the client’s trust—creating art on someone’s body is an act of respect, as every tattoo is one of a kind.
