Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Daniel Espin specializes in advanced realism cover-up tattoos, transforming old or unwanted tattoos into custom, high-quality pieces of art.

    Cover-ups require careful planning, strong technical skill, and an understanding of how to incorporate existing ink into a new design. Each project is evaluated individually to ensure the best possible result.

  • Smaller tattoos may be priced hourly.

    However, most realism and cover-up projects require full-day sessions due to the level of detail and technical work involved.

    Full-day sessions typically last 6–8 hours and allow enough time to properly build the new design over the existing tattoo and create more progress towards project completion.

  • Because cover-ups are complex projects, pricing depends on the size, detail, and difficulty of the tattoo being covered.

    Most realism cover-up projects range between:

    $1,200 – $3,000+

    Larger pieces or full sleeve transformations may require multiple sessions.

  • This depends on the complexity and size of the tattoo.

    Some smaller cover-ups can be completed in one full session, while larger pieces may require 2–3 sessions or more to achieve the best result.

    During your consultation, we will discuss the expected number of sessions.

  • Most tattoos can be covered, but it depends on:

    • Size of the existing tattoo
    • Darkness of the ink
    • Age of the tattoo
    • Placement on the body

    To evaluate your case, we will need clear photos of the tattoo in natural lighting.

    After reviewing the images, we can recommend the best design approach or discuss whether lightening sessions may help achieve a better result.
