Makeup As a Tattoo Concealer

Posted: Dec 28, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

As more and more people in our society are seeking out body ink these days, tattoos have become a highly acceptable form of body modification. But in certain situations like in the workplace or in a wedding party, this kind of body modification may be undesirable and has to be concealed. Here is a simple guide to help us conceal a tattoo in two ways.

Concealing a Tattoo with Clothing

If the tattoos are located on the upper arm, upper leg or the torso, then they can be very easily concealed with the help of a cloth. Because of the ease of concealing the tattoos in these areas, many people prefer to place their tattoos specifically in one of these parts of the body. If you are considering future concealment while seeking a tattoo, then this can be a good option for your tattoo placement.

Concealing a Tattoo with Makeup

All tattoos cannot be concealed with the help of cloth. In some situations, e.g. in a wedding, where you are acting as a bridesmaid, you may feel that your tattoo should better be concealed so as not to make other people’s attention getting diverted from the bride and the groom. Even though your friend may be appreciative about your body art and may accept the way you are, her relatives might feel differently; so at times, it is important to respect others feelings and wishes for specific reasons (but it does not mean that you should not take pride in your tattoo).

The first step is to put a layer of bright red lipstick covering the whole tattoo. This layer of red lipstick creates an all over even base for your tattoo before concealment. It instantly hides several shades of tattoo without applying many layers of concealer and foundation to remove all the shades of the tattoo.

Then to the top of the lipstick a layer of yellow concealer is applied. With the help of a sponge, the concealer is dabbed onto the top of the lipstick to cover it completely. The red tone of the lipstick is balanced by the yellow in the concealer.

Now with the help of a new sponge, you can start dabbing a foundation over the top so as to match your skin tone. It may be necessary to mix and match several foundations to find the right shade. Finally, to set the foundation and concealer, you will have to apply a layer of translucent powder. You have to be careful not to bump into area or make any other contacts as this may cause it to reveal the tattoo.

If these basics are missing in your makeup kit, then you can try variety of other products available today specifically created for concealing tattoos. Concealment of tattoo may be easier using a tattoo concealer rather than applying several layers of makeup on a regular basis.

    excision tattoo removal

    It wasn’t so very long ago that excision tattoo removal was really the best weapon available to successfully do away with a problem ink on skin design. Unfortunately, excision – the cutting away of the marked portion, is invasive and opens up a whole raft of potential problems. Edges need to heal and much like a burn victim, the layer of skin removed needs to be replaced: often achieved via a skin graft from another area of the body such as the buttocks.
