Cover up your tat stat!
Tattoo regret is the unfortunate side-effect of body art, with around 50% of tattooed people in the USA having second thoughts.
According to research by the British Journal of Dermatology, figures are even worse in the UK where 75% of British people who have tattoos wish they had never ‘inked’.
So you have a tattoo that you’d like to cover up – perhaps you’d like to conceal it for a special occasion such as a wedding or maybe you’re going for an interview or to meet you partners’ parents and so you would prefer to hide your tattoo for a few hours.
Unlike specialty products, the solution given below is not going to be flawless and it will not be smudgeproof – but it might just help you out in an emergency.
You’ll need: Concealer , Powder , Powder pad (or brush), Foundation, Eyeshadow or blush that is close to your skin tone and a small cosmetic brush.
Step 1 Apply concealer. If you happen to have 2 shades, use them both. Firstly, put on the lightest shade, applying it as you would when covering up the dark circles under your eyes. Blend it well into the surrounding area. Repeat this using the darker concealer if you have some.
Step 2 Apply the powder on the tattoos. Although a brush will work, a pad is much better. Press the pad firmly into the compact before dabbing evenly and gently across the concealer.
Step 3 Apply foundation. Once again, if you have a darker shade and a lighter one, use both. Put it on as you would on your face, using a light touch and applying the lighter shade first. You can always apply more however, if you put too much on, you’ll have to remove it all and start over with the concealer. Rather than using makeup sponges, as you would when applying theatrical makeup, use your fingertips to blend it in well. This gives you far more control and better coverage. Do the same thing with the darker shade of foundation if you have it before repeating Step 2 and applying powder.
Step 4 Apply eyeshadow or blush. Pick a shade that is close to your skin tone. Use a small cosmetic brush to sweep it over the tattoos, dabbing in areas that seem harder to cover. Apply it in light coats, building the coverage and colour as needed. Ensure to blend it into the surrounding areas as you go. Repeat step 2 to seal it all in.
So if you’re looking to remove a tattoo that has become a permanent source of regret or embarrasment to you – you are not alone – in fact – close to 400,000 people Google the term ‘tattoo removal’ every month!
