Cover-Up

Each Piece A True Masterpiece.

Cover-up tattoos are a transformative way to breathe new life into old or poorly executed pieces. At Heartless Ink, we specialize in skillfully designing cover-ups that not only conceal unwanted tattoos but turn them into stunning works of art. Our artists carefully assess each piece to determine the best approach, using advanced techniques in shading, colour blending, and design placement to ensure the original tattoo is fully obscured. Whether you’re looking to erase a past mistake or simply upgrade an existing tattoo, our team will create a seamless cover-up that looks entirely intentional, giving you a fresh start with a piece you can proudly wear.

After graduating with a Master’s degree in Ancient Philosophy, I decided that I preferred creating beautiful things over writing about other people’s achievements, and so I began

my studies in classical painting. Since then, I have dedicated myself to realizing my ambitions as a painter in the tradition of old masters such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio.

I approach tattooing with the training of a classical painter adapted to the unique demands of creating images on skin. My training in drawing composition and anatomy allows me to craft designs that flow with the human body. My precision and control with each line has been honed through thousands of hours working on paper, canvas, and now skin. My eye is attuned to value, contrast, focus—all aspects that contribute to a harmonious and beautiful tattoo. But most of all, I love having the privilege of applying my skills in a way that brings joy to other people.
