Can the Old Tattoo Still Show Through a Cover-Up After It Heals?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

After the first session, some parts of the old tattoo may still be visible once everything heals. This is normal in the cover-up process.

I usually continue with short additional sessions about every 4 weeks. The goal is to gradually strengthen the coverage until the old tattoo is no longer noticeable.
