I am all for self expression ....

But, be sure you are picking a perfect picture, image, quote, symbol or name before you commit to that Tattoo. Why? Because they will be with you forever and they are not easy to cover up. Lately, I have been receiving many requests from my clients about tattoo coverage and I have determined that it is easier to apply faux tattoos then it is to temporarily cover a real one. But as the saying goes, practice makes perfect and lucky for me; my devoted hubby has two very large, very dark tattoos. There are many steps involved with complete tattoo coverage but the most essential is time. You need to allow yourself ample time for each layer of concealer to dry in between coats. So here are the ideal tools:

1. Kat Von D Tattoo Eraser Pencil (splurge on this, it is important)

2. Small Concealer Brush

3. Waterproof full coverage concealer ( two colors close to yours are ideal to blend)

4. Loose Translucent Powder. I like Make Up Forever's Micro Finish Powder.

5. Large Powder Brush

6. Lots of makeup sponges, I like the wedges.

Now let the process begin. Take the eraser pencil and outline all the dark/black areas of the tattoo. Use the concealer brush with a small amount of product and begin to brush the concealer on top of the tattoo until a full coat is covering the tattoo. Now gently blot the layer using a sponge, very gently, do not remove the product you just applied. Now let that layer dry for about 3 to 5 minutes. Continue this process until each layer has dried and the tattoo is invisible. Depending on the color of the tattoo it could take 5 to 6 layers of concealer coverage. Once the final layer is dry, use the sponge to blend out the edges. Finally, take the powder brush and gently brush on a layer of the translucent power to give the coverage a final seal and Voila ....your tattoo is disguised! Phew....it is tough and takes a long time. Good Luck 
