I have a tattoo on my back that is about 4 inches long and all black. I would really like to get it covered. Would I have to get something black to cover it or will any color cover it up?

Have you looked into laser removal? It can leave scarring and uneven skin tone.

I think only black will cover black, but a tattoo artist will know.

Moved to body art

Is there something about the tattoo you don't want any more ? A name, or bad symbol that you have changed from ?

Can it be changed or altered into some other desgn perhaps.

You should see perhaps a couple of tattoo artist and see if they have any recommendations

It's a name. Its not that I hate it or anything. It's a memorial tattoo that's not finished but it also is a matching tattoo with a friend that I no longer talk to. I just want it covered.
