General Info Regarding Tattoo Concealer

By Joanna Walsh


Most people who have tattoos are eager to show them off. However, there may be certain situations or occasions in which they do not or cannot show these off. In these cases, covering up the body modifications may be a top priority. Cover up may refer to two different processes. A permanent option is the removal of the unwanted tattoo or another tattoo placed over top an old one. The other option is less expensive and less permanent, and involves use of tattoo concealer and similar products.

The effectiveness of these concealers will vary based on many factors. Usually, tats that are small, light, poorly applied or fading are more easily hidden than big, elaborate pieces. To get the best results, it is important to find the top products.

It is important to do research and consult reviews for more information on these goods. Those who frequently use these concealers may find it worth the cost to invest in a higher quality and expensive product, while people needing it only for a short period of time might consider a less expensive option. In either case, when searching for a product to use it is recommended to look over ratings and reviews by other consumers.

Many manufacturers produce these concealing goods, designed specifically for covering up ink. It is best to find products that are marketed as smudge-proof, heat-resistant and water-proof, as these are less likely to come off when a person sweats or goes about their business. Lasting coverage should be a top priority when deciding on a product. Most of these are available in multiple shades, which makes it easier for people to find a match for their skin. Blending is essential to giving a natural look.

There are a number of reasons why people may choose to temporarily cover their body art. Sometimes this is done because a person regrets or dislikes their tattoo and is unable to fund the cost to have tattoo cover up or removal done. Others may need, or want, to cover these modifications up for photo shoots, job interviews or work, important events and more.

It is not ideal to use concealer or other cover-up products on tattoos that have not healed completely. Pieces that are less than a month old still require good hygiene and maintenance. This is important to avoid infection and allow for proper healing. Touching the area too frequently or applying products that might have chemicals in them can irritate the area and cause problems.

Prior to applying the products all over the tattoo, people should test a small patch of area to make sure they do not have an allergic response to the ingredients in the formula. Many products of this kind include active and inactive ingredients that are chemical based and may cause a reaction in people with sensitive skin. If there is an allergic response, people should cease use of the product and find another formula.

The products will provide different results. People should always use them based on the directions given by the manufacturer. Keep in mind that effectiveness, costs and other specifics will range by item.
