The "masking method" is to get a distinctive tattoo on the place where the tattoo is already present. This is a technical term. The old low-end tattoo will be hidden in the new tattoo. Such things as modifying old tattoos often appear, because some customers don’t want the first pattern, and hope that a newer and better one can replace it. Usually those old tattoos that fail are done by some inferior tattoo artists. Tattoos that lack knowledge will eventually be regarded as an eye-catching thing by the person who owns the tattoo, and will eventually be replaced by new tattoos. A good tattoo artist who knows how to hide can change the entire appearance of the tattoo. Concealment is an art in itself, and it should be studied carefully.
The key to making a good masking work is to spend time choosing the right pattern. A good coverage pattern must be perfect in many ways. It is larger than the old tattoo and has a considerable black area, like many gray tones, so that the old tattoo can be completely covered.
Moreover, the first condition that the new pattern must meet is that the customer should be satisfied with and accept the pattern, and it must be able to satisfy a certain interest of the customer; it must be outstanding, so that people's eyes can be drawn away from the covered area on the original image. In the end, the tattoo artist will create a new pattern with rich imagination, cleverly cover the old pattern, and make it into a customer-specific tattoo. This is a worthwhile activity, especially in the learning phase, often carefully observe the merits of successful modification of tattoo works in the past, and strive to improve your design ability, which is very helpful for improving the level of tattoos.
It is a very common method to cover old tattoos with the dark shadow when the wings are spread. Any kind of old pattern will be hidden in the black of the wings, or head or claws (or anything else that can be added to it), which will divert attention from the old pattern and also make this tattoo brand new The face appeared. When the tattoo is over, the customer will be proud of it rather than shy.
