Tattoo cover ups and re-works

Do you have any old tattoos that have lost their vibrancy or that you don’t relate to anymore? Do you have tattoo regrets? Do you have any scars you would rather not see anymore?

We can help with tattoo cover ups & re-working old tattoos. Please emails us via tribalbodyart96@gmail.com with your ideas and see how we can transform that old ink.


Tattoo Re-works

We can breathe new life into your old tattoos with an expert tattoo refresh. Whether your tattoo has faded over time or needs a touch-up to restore its vibrancy, our skilled artists can enhance the colours, sharpen the details, and give it a fresh, polished look. We’ll work with you to ensure your tattoo regains its original brilliance – or even looks better than ever. Book a consultation and let us help you rediscover your ink.

Tattoo Cover Ups

At Tribal Body Art in Edinburgh we appreciate that some tattoos become unwanted designs which we can turn into something you’ll love. Whether it’s a faded piece, a design you’ve outgrown, or a tattoo that no longer resonates with you, our talented artists can work with your existing ink to craft a new masterpiece.

Please bare in mind that we can only cover black ink with black ink and a cover up tattoo will be bigger than the old design. Book a consultation, and let’s start turning your old tattoo into a work of art you’ll be proud to show off again.

Tattoo Cover Ups for scars

Transforming scars into beautiful art is one of our specialities at Tribal Body Art in Edinburgh. Tattoos can provide a powerful way to reclaim your body, blending artistry with self-expression to cover old scars with stunning designs, like this bold octopus tentacle flowing over a chest scar. 

We work closely with you to design something meaningful and personal. Most scars can be safely tattooed once they are fully healed and matured, and your artist will advise you in more detail during your initial consultation. We recommend allowing a minimum of 12 months healing time for surgical scars before tattooing to ensure the best results. Book a consultation and let us help you turn your scars into a unique masterpiece.
