Cover-Up Tattoos Auckland | Gallery 2 - Repairs & Transformations

Gallery 2 Tattoo Cover-Up Repairs & Transformations

This second gallery focuses on cover-up tattoos that repair, refresh, or completely transform older work. Every tattoo shown here has been given new life with care, skill, and a little bit of quiet magic.

With over 25 years of experience in cover-up work, I’ve learned how to turn even the most challenging tattoos into something new. I believe your ink should reflect who you are now — not just who you were then. These pieces were re-inked with attention to flow, contrast, and energy. Some cover entirely. Others blend the past into something more meaningful.
