Cover Up And Miami Ink Tattoos

By Darren Hartley


When a person gets tattooed, the tattoo ink is dispersed about a millimetre under the skin and remains in a layer called the dermis. The dermis is under the epidermis, the visible layer of the skin. When a cover up tattoo is inked over an existing tattoo, the existing tattoo is not actually replaced rather its pigment is mixed with the pigment of the new tattoo.

Because an old tattoo is being hidden and not being replaced, it is of absolute importance to carefully plan the design of the complicated cover up tattoo. Pounding black ink over the top of the old tattoo may be the easiest way to go but a good camouflage does not require the positioning of areas of solid black ink to replace an old tattoo.

The best approach to take is to look at the old tattoo and draw the cover up tattoo using the shapes of the old design. After using a tracing paper or acetate to copy the old tattoo from the skin with a sharpie or skin marker, place the sketch on a light table, place a clean sheet on top of the sketch and consider the many options for the cover up design.

Available on the internet are unique tattoo designs referred to as Miami ink tattoos. Four simple steps consists the process of getting one. After signing up on their website, you can choose a design from the 25,000 designs available. You then save your chosen design on your computer and have it printed out.

People who are extremely choosy about body art are the target audience for Miami ink tattoos. These people look at tattoos as not just literal or universal objects. They see something more personal and quite complicated in them. This is because for them tattoos are visual representations of an idea that was created in the head. This idea is an expression of how one sees himself or how one wants to share his passion with the outside world.
