When a Cover Up is Necessary
One of the worst things you can do is get a tattoo when you’re vacationing at one of the tourist trap tattoo shops. Especially when you were so drunk that you don’t remember getting it.
This poor fella had a tattoo done for him while on a trip to Cancun, and he only found out about it when he woke up the next morning. Hangover pills couldn’t cure this mess.
Fortunately he came by Black Line Studio to see Yovany about getting a cover up. Restructuring the face of the lion (so it doesn’t look like it was copied from a children’s book), and covered up the Leo sign with a tribal design behind it.

[...] Background: The scorpion is the client’s Chinese year, and was looking to have Yovany cover up his previous tattoo (which he wasn’t satisfied with). This tattoo needed a quick turn around time and Yovany was able to complete it fast and efficiently. The results are pretty amazing, and the before/after is almost as drastic as Yovany’s previous lion tattoo. [...]
I am looking to get a tattoo partially covered up. It is a tribal arm band I had done when I was 16 and it was horribly done (I am now 26). I think they thought that I would never see the inside of my arm or something… I am just wondering, when is the best time to come in and get a consultation on covering it up. I work 9-5 monday to friday. I love what I see on the site and think you could really help out
