Whether it is a design you have outgrown or ink that did not turn out as planned, we can help you fix it or completely hide it with something new. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video shows the step-by-step process of covering an old name tattoo on a forearm. We designed a custom Shiva band tattoo that wraps around the arm, incorporating mountain and sun elements to completely obscure the previous ink. You can see the stenciling, line work, and shading that bring the new design to life.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/58271b97-02e8-494e-b7ec-b08117df9c23) - [Video: Watch the process behind the forest and sword cover-up tattoo.

We usually start by measuring the existing lines to ensure the new stencil is dense enough to block the pigment underneath, which often involves using freehand marker work to adjust the flow so the new tattoo looks completely natural on your skin. ### How We Approach Your Cover-Up At Mumbai Tattoo, we treat cover-ups like engineering. If your old ink is too dark, we do not just put a blob of black over it. We use high-density Triple Black pigments and strategic shading to neutralize the old design. Our artists at the Marine Lines East studio are experts at integrating your old lines into a completely new, larger piece. ### Laser or Cover-Up? Sometimes, laser fading is the better first step. We offer Q-Switched laser sessions to lighten the old tattoo, giving our artists a clean canvas to work with. This is especially helpful if your old tattoo is very dark and you want a lighter, more intricate design for the cover-up. ### Our Process 1. **Assessment:** We start by evaluating the depth of your old ink and the condition of your skin. 2. **Planning:** We talk about what you want. Aapka idea, hamari art (Your idea, our art). 3. **Execution:** We apply the stencil, ensuring the new shadows align over the old lines to prevent any ghosting or bleeding. Not sure if you need a cover-up or a simple touch-up? Come by for a free consultation. We will be honest about what is possible—if a cover-up will not look good, we will tell you straight. ## About Mumbai Tattoo Studio We are Mumbai Tattoo, a team of artists working together at our Marine Lines studio since 2002.
