What Is the Best Way to Hide a Tattoo While It Is Being Removed?

People have different reasons for wanting to get rid of their tattoos. Whether it is the name of an old flame or an unfortunate symbol, you can remove all evidence of your past. Body ink may be removed safely and effectively using laser tattoo removal. The removal is usually done over several sessions. Depending on where your tattoo is, there are days when you need to cover the tattoo temporarily. 

Using Your Hair 

You can use your hair to cover tattoos on your shoulder, behind the ear, or neck. Depending on how long your hair is, you can cover tattoos on your upper back. You will not need makeup or accessories to hide the tattoo during the removal. 

However, you should realize that the tattoo can become visible if the wind blows your hair or when you bend over. Check yourself in the mirror and use a scarf to complement your efforts. 

Using Clothing 

You can use different clothing to cover tattoos while they continue to fade. Depending on where you live, you can use scarves to cover tattoos. However, this may not be convenient when it is hot. Clothing with long sleeves can help cover wrist and arm tattoos. 

Socks, opaque tights, and boots can help hide tattoos on the ankles and legs. Tattoos on other areas of the body, such as the hips, thighs, chest, and lower back, are easy to conceal with regular clothing. 

Makeup Concealer 

Makeup works well to conceal tattoos, especially those on the face. Choose heavy-duty concealers available in the form of an easy-to-use pencil that provides long-lasting coverage. They work like a tattoo eraser, and all you need to do is draw over the ink. 

Thick creamy makeup available in different shades can hide tattoos effectively. It blends in well for a natural result and can be used in areas that scarves cannot cover.

Bandages and Accessories
 

Many people choose to bandage tattoos while they are being removed during the healing process. An ace bandage or Band-Aid can cover the treatment area temporarily. A bandage wrap also works well to keep the skin protected from anything that can cause an infection. 

Depending on the size and location of the tattoo, accessories can help hide tattoos. Wearing a watch or bracelet can help cover a wrist tattoo. 

Location and Size of the Tattoo

The location and size of the tattoo will determine how easy it is to hide it. You may have a small tattoo that is highly visible. Using makeup or KT tape can help hide the tattoo. FT tape is available in different colors and can be cut into large or small pieces. 

Nude-colored tape can blend into your skin for the best results. The tattoo will continue to fade with each treatment session. After several sessions, you may not need too much effort to hide it. 

If you use makeup to hide your tattoos, choose products that blend well with your skin. A poor makeup job will leave you looking like you are wearing a mask. Practice using the makeup until you get it right.
