Cover-up freehand piece.
My client gave me complete trust and allowed me to freely create and work with my own ideas. I’m truly grateful for that trust.
Today, I only added some background color and the skull/deer head at the top. Everything else you see is fully healed, with no touch-ups or additional color added.
A good cover-up isn’t just about covering the old tattoo. It’s about using some of the existing shapes and marks, combining them with new ideas, and making the whole piece flow naturally so it doesn’t look like a cover-up at all.

Katana tattoo ⚔️
Added smoky shading around the blade to create more depth and movement, while keeping the overall composition clean and flowing with the arm.

One of the most iconic clown characters. I approached the character and the background with two different visual styles, creating a stronger contrast between them. This helps bring the character forward, strengthens the focal point, and gives the entire piece a clearer sense of theme and atmosphere.
