Reinked

What happens when you realize you have allowed some bad art to be tattooed on you? There’s always laser removal as an option, but it’s expensive, it’s very painful, it takes quite a few sessions, it may not be totally effective, and it may leave scarring. Most people don’t endure the pain of tattoo removal. Tattoo artists recommend that it is much easier and cheaper to cover an old, undesired tattoo with new art. When someone is reinking and getting a cover-up, here’s one thing most tattoo artists agree on—when you are doing a cover-up, you can count on double the size of the original tattoo. It’s going to take double the space, double the work, and a tattoo artist with double the talent to cover-up a mistake with something that is good. All of us have made mistakes. We have all made choices that weren’t wise. Yet our Artist—God—can cover up our worst mistakes with a double helping of His love and grace.
