I have 2 Tats on my lower leg, and its not that I don't like them (in fact I plan to add one more to finish the work), but in public it's like a dead give away if someone you know spots you.

Thanks.

I saw a thing on TV that showed covering them up with stage make up, it actually doesnt "cover" them, it does hide them quite well though. I don't have to cover mine because I wear long sleeves en femm.
good luck

you could have them lasered off. Sometimes, they have a sliding scale or do it for free for ex-druggies, ex-gang members, etc.

Jane Iredale's "Disappear." It was specifically made for makeup artists to be able to cover up tatoo's on their models for photo shoots. I don't have tatoo's, but I do have Disappear in "light" to cover the redness of pregnancy acne and it works.

Opaque stockings or tights, pick the right colors and they still make your legs look good while covering...

I don't have tatoos, but this stuff is very good I now use it most times.

also wearing Light coloured tights, (hoses) then cover with darker ones can hide hairy legs, so I presume it would work for tatoos as well, you might need 3 pairs, but it would hide them (and shape your body as well) which is a bonus of using this method

Hello,
I also have a tattoo on my upper right arm which is qute distinguishable. Would dermablend help cover the tattoo as well as the "disapear" product?

I was coming in here to say Colortration (http://www.colortration.com), but Tracy beat me to it! Check it out, it does work really well.....

Both Tracy and Dana beat me to the punch. Colortration works great, the trick is to find the right shade. They offer a 5 color (your choice of colors) sample for $14 and it's worth the price. My mistake was trying shades that were too dark so maybe you will want to lighten it up a bit. Good luck.

I have a tat on each arm and I fount that L'oreal True Match super blendable liquid works great. There is a color selector card so you can match your skin tone exactly. I put it on a little thick, let it dry a bit, then blend the edges. If you look closely at my pics below, you can see part of the tats in a couple of them before I started using this. It doesn't rub off once it's set either. I got the matching compact and loose powder too along with it. It is expensive, but we're worth it!
:hugs:
Well it's just the one in the middle where I have bare arms that you can barely make them out, but i used it in the one on the right.

I know it sounds crazy but try a little toothpaste on them before you put the cover up on it works really well.
