Looking for a cover-up?
Inkane's tattoo studio near the shopping street in Ghent focuses on creating personalized designs based on your story.
Sometimes such a story starts with an old tattoo that you no longer like because you regret it or because your personality has evolved in the meantime.
Cover-up tattoos can be a solution in such a case. Small cover-ups can be done by most artists. But larger and complex cover-ups require artistic skills and expertise in this field to achieve a beautiful result that you are super satisfied with.
If you explain your cover-up story to Cristian, he will see which of us he can best match you to. After that, the choice is yours.
Artists who specilize in cover-ups have a portfolio of work in which they can demonstrate their skills. It is also often the case that a consultation for a cover-up tattoo with your chosen artist is required so that they can explain to you the (more limited) design possibilities.
If Cristian finds your tattoo cover-up request so complex, he may also refer you to a cover-up specialist at our Inksane facility in Roeselare. Quality results always prevail.
After this whole process, your cover-up tattoo ensures that your old tattoo was transformed into a new design that better reflects your current personality.
