Covering a tattoo

[Scuba591]

Why cover it?
Didn't you get it for a reason (whether an identity statement or personal reason)? If it meant enough to do it, why hide it only to reveal it later? Just be up-front and who you are.

Looks like you need Lock-It Tattoo Concealer, Snapdragon. It's available at your local Sephora (I think many JC Penney's have Sephora shops in them). Kat Von D does it and it looks like it works.

OK, that's pretty impressive...but, i find myself asking how many bottles it took for the above before/after.

The concealer is sold in 0.58 oz bottles for $25...lets be conservative and say 1 bottle would cover her entire forearm area, wrist/hand included. That's about 8-10 bottles for the entire body (probably more)...so she's spending $200-250 every time she needs to cover-up?

Yes i realize that she would never actually use the stuff and her name is on it so it would be free...yada yada,...that's just how my mind works


SD...where on your forearm is the tattoo? Inside (close to body) vs outside? Closer to the wrist or elbow? How big (silver dollar size or softball)?

That's what I was thinking. I had a friend who used some tattoo cover for her neck and arms. She would use nearly 1 of those small bottles on it and they ran like $20 each. It looked like those little perfume sample bottles.

If there is a David's Bridal by you, they sell tattoo cover up make-up.

I have some dermablend, and it works pretty well, but it' pricey and time-consuming. Ideally I'd like to find some kind of patch that I can slap on.

Well, now. That's a snappy lookin' dragon.

I knew a lady who worked for the post office, she just cut the stretchy cuff off of socks and wore it on one forearm. This way you can pick out a wide variety of colors and it's very simple to put on and take off.

Put a tat on your neck, they won't notice the one on your arm then! , , another problem solved!

lol, I have a lot of friends with a lot of tattoos. One girl has about 20 facial piercings, full sleeves all the way down to the back of her hands, and neck tats clear up behind her ears. And these all look like the were done by an artist having a seizure.

The other day she was whining, as she always does, that it's no fair she can't find a good job. I reminded her that even if an employer looked past her exterior, they'd have to face the fact that she was very lazy and unable to follow the simplest tasks without picking up her phone and texting someone about something that has nothing to do with her job. After a few more comments from me about her terrible work ethic she kindly stopped drinking my beer and left in a fit. lol

Point being, if you can hide something that might prevent you from advancing in employment, do it! Then use your chance to wow the employer with a great work ethic.

But then you've gotta have one on your face to detract from the one on the neck...

One more vote for long sleeves. I mean, in my profession, on a court day, i have to wear long sleeves and a jacket all day long no matter the heat. Honestly, it's not that big a deal. It's got the advantage of being simple and not raising questions.

And if you work indoors with air conditioning it's not that uncomfortable. My wife had a huge fancy dinner and award banquet in Orlando in the middle of July. I had to wear long sleeves for 3 days. As long as I was inside, it really wasn't a problem. Cheap way out might be long sleeves!

Snapdragon, coming from a guy with ~40+ hours on me, alot of it on my arms. When I first started getting them and needed to cover the ones on my forearms seriously the sweatband was the simplest and easiest way. I had a similar reaction of "really sweatbands" ? but there are lots of colors and styles . For instance when wearing blue , I would wear a blue sweatband.
Im one of those guys that when wearing my scrubs and a long sleeve shirt most people have no idea, but when wearing shorts and a tank top some of those same people give me that "look".
