Looking for recommendations for Tattoo cover-up?

Hi, I have a large colour tattoo on my back and want to have this covered up for my wedding. I didn't realise it would be so difficult to find a makeup artist to cover it or a clinic that does temporary coverup that has reviews. Help needed! [VIC]

I'd recommend Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup. It's water/sweat proof and transfer-proof. I've applied it for many brides in the past with great success, even on a hot day! Matching the right colour to your skin depth and tone is crucial so I'd still recommend asking your wedding Makeup Artist if they have it in their kit and if they can add it to your bridal package for the day.

Hi!

There are many options for tattoo coverage, but as I am an airbrush specialist, I tend to use a combination of manual colour camouflage using tinted pigments to counteract the colours of the tattoo and finish with airbrush foundation and setting spray to minimise transferance.

I hope this helps!

Most fully qualified makeup artists should know how to cover tattoos, however many don't like doing it, especially if they are not doing the bridal makeups.

I am in SA, but you can find the products I use fairly easily if you are in VIC. Kryolan have a store in Melbourne and they have Dermacolor, which is a specifically designed makeup for tattoo cover up. www.kryolan.com.au.  Your other option is Dermablend from Priceline, but it's not as good.

Hi there. Personally i think tattoos are lovely but if you arent feeling comfortable showing it during your wedding its easy to cover it up. I can do color correction and airbrushing on the area you want to cover up so that it looks neutral to your skin tone. You can send me a photograph of the tattoo so i can determine the color i need to use to cover it up.

Hi, there are some very good concealer products on the market. You need to use a heavy duty concealer then powder and repeat the process until it is covered. Then a finishing spray is recommended. All the best for your wedding.

 Thanks Annette - Make-up Artist

Hi there! I was just wondering what skin colour you have and does the back of your dress touch parts of your tattoo at all?
