What if the tattoo you love needs to go away for a while? Did you think of a job interview or a trip to the grandmother’s house? Sometimes in life you don’t want to be the person with the tattoos and stand out. There are a few ways to cover that ink in a jiffy with no pain when removing it.

make up

Foundation or foundation is probably the most obvious way to hide a tattoo without removing it. Many companies sell thicker forms of your regular makeup expressly to cover up tattoos. Many celebrities have covered their tattoos using this method for different acting roles. The biggest problem with makeup is that depending on where the tattoo is, it can be very inconvenient to wear makeup, and it is often difficult to match exact skin tones.

Clothes

Clothing is another great option depending on where the tattoo is located. A long-sleeved turtleneck can save Thanksgiving dinner in a pinch. But hiding a tattoo with clothing is quite limited considering that the tattoo has to be in an area where clothing looks natural. The same turtleneck that saved Thanksgiving can ruin summer.

Bandage

There are obvious problems with walking around covered in bandages, from mummy pranks to unruly heat. But a Band-Aid can cover some small tattoos. The real reason bandages don’t really work to cover up tattoos is because they draw attention to the area. Seeing a poor boy working with bandages all over him is often more offensive than tattooed images.
