Tattoo Fix Ups: Upgrading Failed Or Faded Tattoos

Tattoo Fix Ups: Upgrading Failed Or Faded Tattoos
Tattoo Ideas1 min Read

When ink goes wrong, tattoo fix ups are required. You have this tattoo made years ago, and it is now not really pretty.
The ink has faded, you now don't recognize the design anymore. Or you went for a cheap tattooist, with a horrid result: your tribute portrait looking like a zombie, your proud lion looking like a cartoon cub, etc... If you still have an emotional attachment to your old tattoo, you can always get touch ups, from the same artist or a new one, that will pimp your ink again. If you like the idea, but not the look, you can ask for an upgrade. A more talented tattoo artist will rework your tattoo with a cover up, giving you something you will be proud to sport... And if your tattoo is really a fail, something you want to get rid of as soon as possible, directly take the cover up option, with a cool new design that will hide the crappy one forever... Not all tattoo artists are specialized in covering tattoos. Select one that has done many successful ones in his portfolio. As you will see in our little selection, good tattoo fix ups require skills, intelligence and even sometimes... humor!
