Covering a Tattoo
The covering up of an unwanted tattoo, is an artistic technique unique to the Art of tattooing.
No other art form has a need for the “covering-up” of unwanted art work.
Covering-up unwanted tattoos is very di cult, and only experienced tattooers that have very
high quality art skills should be doing the cover-up work.
If you are having an unwanted design covered with a new design, and the tattooer is not drawing the design “freehand” the design will probably not work very well and the old design will still be visible in some areas, or, completely blacked out in other areas. The blacking-out of unwanted tattoos is
not what should be happening. Ugly tattoos can get much worse, and probably will if an unskilled
tattooer attempts the cover-up.
The Artists at Susie M’s is very dedicated to helping our Clients wear the tattoo designs that
reflect themselves, even when the present art work is no longer desired and needs to be removed or
covered-up. We are a group of highly skilled and experienced artists that have worked very hard to
develop the skills and talent needed to cover-up almost any unwanted design you may be wearing.
Even tattoos that can not be covered-up with a new design can be altered to change the design
to a more acceptable tattoo. That is, if a skilled tattoo Artist does the work.
Several Artist at Susie M’s has been recognized by Tattoo Associations, Conventions and other
professional Tattooers from around the world as world class tattoo artists. Including being recognized as
Best Cover-up Artists at many of these international events.
The Covering-up of unwanted Tattoos is not our only Speciality, but our “cover-up” skills are one
specialty that we are very proud of, and very good at.
You have a limited opportunity to have a successful cover-up. We understand that. If you take
your time to nd the right tattooer and the right design for the job you can have a very nice tattoo for
the rest of your life, that is not an obvious cover-up, but a great conversation piece you are proud to
wear.

Our New Studio is open and ready for you to come and see.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
