    Hey guys,

    I have a small tattoo on my wrist that's solid black. I'm looking to either alter it, or cover it. How difficult is it to cover black?

    Should I be looking at designing something which includes a black section, or can detail be put over the black?

    Thanks.

    To do a cover up, you will need to go alot bigger and darker than the tattoo you want to cover.

    Best bet is to try laser to lighten it up a bit first.

    This tattoo is small, but pure black. I guess I'll go into the shop and talk to them about possible designs I have in mind. It's small enough to be incorporated so I'll just work around it. Thanks :)
