Is It Better to Fade My Tattoo Before a Cover-Up?

Ilya R • March 3, 2023

Tattoos are an ever-increasing form of creative expression and commemoration, but they don’t always go as planned. Sometimes the artist makes a mistake or does poor-quality work. Some people get tired of the design or aren’t with the person they dedicated their tattoo to anymore.


Thankfully,
tattoo removal laser technology removes unwanted ink and gives you a fresh start for your new cover-up. If you look at laser tattoo removal before and after pictures, you’ll see how effective it is for people wanting to start fresh. Should you fade your tattoo before getting a cover-up?


Absolutely. Your Artist Will Appreciate the Cleaner Canvas to Work On, and You’ll Get Better Results


Whether the laser technician can remove or fade your existing tattoo depends on the intensity of colour and shapes. Either way, when your tattoo artist designs your new piece, the clearer your skin, the easier it will be for them.


So, how does laser tattoo removal work?


Specialized laser technology uses picosecond pulses to break up tattoo ink under the skin, creating tiny, absorbable particles in the body. For example, the PicoWay 730nm wavelength device can easily remove the full spectrum of ink colours, including blues and greens., without harming the skin.


They Won’t Have to Accommodate Your New Design Around the Hard Lines of Your Old Tattoo


It only makes sense that your tattoo artist will appreciate working with a fresh start rather than having to accommodate existing artwork. Dark, thick lines can be challenging, as can bold colours.


Having the freedom to create the perfect design has far more likelihood of success and gives you the results you are looking for, as opposed to incorporating lettering or lines that alter the design. Yet, it is less of a factor with professional tattoo removal lasers.


Helping Clients Fade Their Tattoos for Cover Ups and the Amazing Creativity of What Tattoo Artists Can Do


The specialists at Unthink Inc. have been helping clients successfully remove their tattoos for years, allowing them the freedom to go without or cover up with a new, more desirable tattoo design.


After a few laser tattoo removal sessions, if the tattoo hasn’t disappeared completely, it will have faded significantly enough for the tattoo artist to work with. Considering the creative genius it takes to incorporate existing ink work into a new design, it is remarkable what tattoo artists can accomplish.

Tattoo You’ve Always Wanted


For the best results possible, it is wise to partner with your tattoo artist and laser tattoo removal provider to formulate a treatment plan utilizing their unique skill sets. Each professional may have recommendations to follow, making the finished results much more to your satisfaction.
