Change Who You Are With Tattoo Cover Up Makeup

By Jayne Rutledge


One of the most memorable fictional characters of recent years has been Lisbeth Salander, Stieg Larsson's girl with the dragon tattoo. She is covered in piercings and tattoos. In both the bestselling novel and the movie versions of it, she pulls off a scam that makes her a very rich woman indeed. It's easy enough for her to hack into computer systems to transfer her enemy's millions into her own accounts but to get away with it, she needs to visit the bank and look like a regular girl next door. This she does with the help of a wig, some conservative clothes and tattoo cover up makeup.

It is not only in fiction that people may have to hide the designs imprinted in their skin. Some companies are quite conservative and to work there, you'd have to cover up. This is even more important if you've chosen a design that might offend others. It's not always possible to hide your tattoos underneath your clothes, especially not if they're on your face or neck, and you'd need to find an alternative.

Actors often have to find ways to hide their ink too. Angelina Jolie simply wouldn't be convincing in a period drama if the coordinates of the places where her children were born were there on her upper arm for everyone to see. Even if the character can sport tattoos, the actor's own designs should be suitable for the role or it won't work. A gangster with fairies or butterflies on his arms or back would just look silly.

Sometimes the reasons why people may want to conceal their ink are more serious. Gangs often mark their members with specific designs and it becomes very difficult for anyone to break away when others can identify their affiliations simply by looking at what they wear on their skin. The consequences of having the wrong design in a known gang-controlled area are often fatal.

For former gang members, the best alternative would be to have their gang tattoos permanently removed with laser. Laser removal is also a great solution for anybody who regrets getting a former lover's name inked into their skin. This is an expensive procedure, however, and scarring may occur. Makeup may be an easier and more economical solution.

The most important thing to remember when choosing cover up makeup is that it should match your skin tone. If it doesn't, it will be even more conspicuous than the tattoo itself. Apply the concealer first and when it is dry, add a few layers of foundation and a final dusting of matte powder. Don't touch it or let any clothing come into contact with it until it has dried completely or you'll end up with a smudged mess.

In many circumstances it's completely unnecessary to hide your tattoos. Tattooing has become a mainstream activity and is now much more socially accepted than it used to be. In future it may become even more so, so you don't necessarily have to cover up for that job interview or for your wedding day.

Good tattoo cover up makeup is available from online suppliers. You'll also find it at stores that sell cosmetics for the theater and even at some bridal stores. If you're desperate and only need to hide your ink for an hour or two, you may try a combination of white face paint and foundation or, for small designs, a tanning spray.
