Looking for a good tattoo cover-up

Gabrielle, on March 17, 2014 at 10:19 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

Hi everyone. I'm looking to get a tattoo cover-up. I have a large and very colorful tattoo on my back. I love my tattoo, but I would prefer to cover it for the wedding. It will be quite a task to cover this tattoo and I want it covered well or not covered at all. Does anyone know of a particular tattoo cover-up that works really well? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Mostly it's makeup. For a piece that large, you would need to hire a professional,

    Ike,y doing airbrush. All the sweat of the day, color matching, etc. makes me feel it isn't worth it,

    If you look on Youtube, there are a ton of tutorials.

    I've seen (and used with great success) the red lipstick technique. Found it on pinterest.

    Ive heard Ben Nye covers up very well! Ive also heard about thr Kat von d makeup but I personally believe that the ben nye might work a little better just because it is stage makeup and it should stay in place a little better

    Well, that's a lot of makeup to use. I'd just try to find a dress that covers it.

    Check out Dermablend cover crème... I use their foundation and it works pretty well on my acne scars. I think their cover crème adds even more coverage and is known for covering tattoos. Depending on where you buy it, you can always test it out and return it if it doesn't work for you.

    I have used Dermablend on one of my models for a photo shoot. It does work. You have to know a little bit of "makeup finesse" to blend your skin but I watched a makeup tutorial on Youtube and once the photos were taken you had no idea there was ever a tattoo there. I love tattoos (I do not have any myself) but since it will be a pain in the rear for you to cover it on your back without help, I say just get a shawl or a dress that covers it...if I were you I would just let it show Smiley smile
