This final gallery holds some of my older cover-up tattoo work — pieces that mark a moment in the journey. While styles shift and techniques evolve, these transformations still carry the same core: clarity, contrast, and respect for what came before.
Some designs are bold. Others are gentle. All were created with the same intent — to turn regret into something meaningful. There’s a strange kind of beauty in revisiting where we started. In these pieces, you’ll see the roots of my approach to cover-up tattoos in Auckland: layered, thoughtful, and quietly powerful.
Legacy speaks to the stories behind each piece — the journeys, the changes, the trust. Layers are both physical and emotional: new artwork inked with care over what came before, and the quiet healing that happens along the way. These tattoos aren’t just reworked — they’re renewed, one thoughtful layer at a time.
