Cover up Tattoos

Over 45 Million Americans have a tattoo and it's no secret that tattoos have become more main stream today than ever before. What was once considered a rite of passage for sailors or bikers has now become a way for the soccer mom down the street to welcome her 40th birthday. However, even with the surge of open-mindedness and 'it's what's on the inside that counts', there are still times you may not want to show off your ink.

Clothing was once the only option to cover up tattoos but now there are more choices available. (Best part, you won't be require you to wear a turtleneck in the middle of summer!)

When you want to cover up tattoos, your main options are:

• Permanent Removal


• Temporary Tattoo Cover up Makeup


• Clothing

The most popular type of permanent tattoo removal is laser tattoo removal. Laser lights are directed toward the dark pigment in the skin and break up the tattoo inks, which are then flushed out of the body through the lymph system. This is great if you want to completely remove a tattoo but the average tattoo takes anywhere from 1-2 years to fully remove and it is costly. Typically this isn't going to be your best solution to quickly cover up tattoos.

One of the most effective ways to cover up tattoos is to use a tattoo makeup or tattoo concealer. Ferbs Cosmetics Temporary Tattoo Cover Up is the perfect natural looking way to cover up tattoos. Below are step by step instructions plus tips to show you exactly how to cover up tattoos and best part is you don't need to be an expert in makeup to do it!

The last option for covering up tattoos is clothing. While it may seem pretty straight forward there are many different methods of tattoo cover up, and some of them are pretty unique!

Before you begin...

• Skin must be perfectly healed. Never apply to freshly tattooed or irritated skin.


• Apply makeup in a well-lit area - natural light (sunlight) works best.


• Application color and coverage changes slightly as each layer dries.

For the skimmers, here is the short version on How to Cover Up Tattoos:
Step 1: Clean and Moisturize
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of tattoo cover up
Step 3: Allow to dry completely
Step 4: Repeat 2 & 3 as needed
Step 5: Apply Alibi Setting Powder

Use a water-based moisturizer for best results. For a more natural look, remove hair in the tattoo area to keep the tattoo cover up makeup from collecting around hair follicles.

Start applying a thin layer from the middle of your tattoo and extend Tattoo Undercover slightly the tattooed area. As you apply each layer, remember to gently blend just the edges around the tattoo to match the surrounding skin. Do not repeatedly brush the area over the tattoo - this will reduce coverage.

Note: Thin layers dry faster and take less time to apply than thick layers.

By allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next layer, your tattoo cover up will blend better, last longer and look more natural. Be careful to let damp, shiny spots dry. When Tattoo Undercover is completely dry it will have a matte finish. For faster results, use a hairdryer set on low setting to dry the area.

Total coverage typically requires 3-5 separate applications of Tattoo Undercover. Remember, thinner layers look more natural and take less time to dry than thick layers. To speed up the process you can use a hairdryer.

Alibi Setting Powder is essential to keeping Tattoo Undercover from rubbing off. It will also help you achieve a natural matte look. Use gentle sweeping strokes and apply multiple layers of Alibi Setting Powder to blend and set the area.

Remove by pouring a small amount of baby oil on hands and massage over tattoo; wipe away with a damp cloth.

Ferbs Cosmetics Tattoo Undercover and Alibi Setting Powder is also great at covering Rosacea, Veins, Birthmarks, Bruises, Moles, Hyper-pigmentation, Redness and Skin Imperfections.
