Body art is a beautiful way to express ourselves. But sometimes, what – or who – we feel passionate about changes, and we realize that tattoo parlor visit might’ve been a mistake.
Luckily, these people taught us nothing is truly permanent, even when done with ink.
Whether you want inspiration for covering up a past regret of your own or just some good ol’ entertainment, you won’t regret looking through this list of inventive and funny tattoo cover-ups.
Pikachu’s Part-Time Job
Sometimes people just get a tattoo that leaves them less than impressed – sometimes because they chose the wrong thing, other times because the tattoo artist simply wasn’t very good. This photo shows what can happen when you let someone with little to no experience give you a tattoo. Luckily, whoever he went to afterward was an actual professional, and they managed to cleverly cover their Pickachu tattoo with another Pickachu tattoo.
The second tattoo looks much better and even incorporates the first in a believable way. All it took was an artist with a clever mind and a little bit of skill.
That Escalated Quickly
Some people who have a picture of their former significant other tattooed choose to cover the whole thing up entirely. Not many choose to incorporate said tattoo into a new tattoo that pretty much tells their ex that he/she is dead to them. However, that’s what this person did when they transformed their portrait of their ex-girlfriend into an image of a dead person. It doesn’t get more hardcore than that!
In our opinion, the quality of the tattoo is much better the second time around. The portrait looked a bit simplistic. The shading was also a bit wonky in the original tattoo.
