Thread: tattoo cover up

I just got a beautiful back piece but have been agonizing over whether or not to get it. I don't want a big tattoo hanging out of my wedding dress when I get married....if I ever get married. Does anyone know how to cover up tattoos if the event ever arrises? I was thinking about spray tans?

Well, it really depends on how dark the tattoo is. If you have some really dark colors it's going to be a little harder to cover up. For example, a tattoo of a butterfly would be easier to cover up than, say, a tattoo of Batman spanking Ann Coulter.

I have a friend who tried using a tanning spray, but she said it just made it look faded, it didn't cover it completely. She said she used something called dermablend, but she had a hard time finding the right skin tone. I think she had to buy two different shades to get the tone just right. She also said that smearing wasn't a problem, because she tested it by putting some on before bed a couple weeks before the wedding, and it only smeared a little bit.

A guy at work uses makeup that he gets from the theater department at his college. I don't know if you have access to a theater department, but he did say he COULD buy it online. He says he just prefers to get his "free"

I was in a store today and heard a commercial for a product called wrecking ball. Apparently it is a lotion that is non painful and removes tattoos in the home. Has anyone heard of this or tried it?
