Alena working on beautiful GIANT peacock coverup! 

Greek cover-up, progress pictures. 

The first picture is a before picture (hopefully that’s pretty obvious), so that you can see what we’re transforming it from! 

I’ve been documenting all the stages of this tattoo because I thought it would be nice for y’all to see how the process of a cover-up works. We laid in a whole bunch of black last time; now the old tattoo is almost gone! Next time we’ll finish out the remaining linework. If you’re curious, you can look back through our old posts and find the first couple posts about this project. At the very end I’ll do a cumulative post with pictures from each stage. 

Cover-ups are fun and challenging like puzzles. This one is going to be awesome. I was a little nervous going into it because the original was giant, but it’s already all but eradicated! This is a really, really fun tattoo.

Michaela came in for more work on her lovely flower half-sleeve! All color is healed; we laid out the rest of the line work. 

Love this tattoo.

Yesterday our dear friend Laura came to get tattooed and won an impromptu award for most photogenic client ever.
