I admire his honesty and talent! It takes a real person to admit they fucked up with stuff like he says he did with some of his own tattoos on his body and how he tried to deal with it. He is really relaxed and I think he would be excellent in making sure what you get is what you like and need.
Thanks Guys for taking time to comment ! Most love I’am sending to all the haters and keyboard cowboys and the tattoo experts that haven’t even hold a tattoo machine for a second. EAD 😘
Seems like a cool guy, but to be honest, I don't agree with what he says about "not giving detail to his clients and rather surprise them cause it cant get worse than before" having gone through a mistakes and doing a coverup now myself, the last thing I want is another garbage that I wouldn't like, though I agree your cover up has to be something that actually flows with your current design, i think also you should know what you're getting, so you dont get a double shitty tattoo
I think the idea that he's trying to express is that he likes for his clients to have trust in his artistic vision. When you pick a tattoo artist you should have a pretty good idea about what they do, and trust them to execute the best possible cover up. It's not like a client explains that he wants a Hello Kitty cover up and Kamil busts out a demon, it's that, especially with a cover up, a lot of work is done on the fly adapting to the tattoo that has been there previously.
Taylor Pope I mean he’s right, at that point it’s laser or black out like he had to do on his arms lol, I have a big stomach piece that I have to get covered so if he doesn’t work I have to get laser and start all over lol
"I'll show you how to cover tattoo's" :has his whole arms blacked out: lol (Just found that ironic and amusing, not making a judgement call) I actually like heavy full/partial black work, but would never do it cuz it's just using up a whole canvas space.
I'm so impatient, i usually skip to the end of the video to see the finished tattoo, but! the artist kamil has such a chill vibe, and the video has such good music. I just had to see the process. The way he got the blues in that tattoo is freakin incredible! That was inspiring
respect for the skill but there's absolutely NO way I'd go to an artist who said they were 50% sure they could do what I want like... bruh... esp for a cover up?? no no no
Tulips2Kiss i don't think you understand the statement. It's always gona be 50 50. It's a cover up. Depending on what you are wanting he either can do it or he can't.
@@greenrobot5not true at all😂 sometimes you get a bad artist, sometimes you're taste changes, in my case I practiced on myself during my apprenticeship. Now I feel that I could do much better work. Doing my own coverup tonight!
that final tat looks good cause it's fresh, once it heals you will still be able to see the tattoo under it, it requires many passes of white ink to actually cover the old ink under it, videos and pictures are these are deceiving

Hello from the future. I've got one of those. It's technically a great tattoo, but the experience of getting it was so unpleasant and icky that I hate it. Doesn't help that it's actually somewhere super visible to me when I'm hanging out on the couch, minding my own business. I'm going to do something about it. I haven't decided what yet, because I don't want to think 'adding a kracken will make it feel okay' and then have a kracken and a tattoo I still feel awful about. I've talked to another artist, and she's really enthusiastic about doing something to make me not hate it. Its my body, it shouldn't make me feel icky. If you go to an artist and they aren't 100% enthusiastic with your reasons for covering a 'good' tattoo, find an artist who is.
lmao you gotta have some serious faith in this dude. "70% of my body is coverups" "I don't tend to give my clients very much information about what I'm going to tattoo on them." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure his work speaks for himself, but damn that doesn't inspire confidence
@@cookncrook6902 Yeah, tattoo artists and artists in general have a right to be protective over their art, but the client is the one walking around with this thing on them, they gotta be the ones to create the narrative around the design, or they're walking around with something someone else made on them.
I got my cross covered up (not done yet, one more session) of a tigers face with bamboo surrounding it. Tiger is going to be blue which I thought was dope as fuck as I told my artist (Pat Patterson in Lake Worth, FL he’s fucking awesome) I wanted something bright and new school and so far he’s absolutely delivered.

I have a tattoo I want covered up and I see a lot of work online that looks well done, but nothing in a style that I would want. Such a struggle. Plus I live in a rural place, and I don't want to incorporate a bunch of travel into my tattoo experience.
I know i should know what i want when i go in and if it wasn't a cover i would agree but I don't want to go in and ask for a specific tat but the artist says its just not going to work well.for the cover up I would like to be open minded and kind of collaberate with the artist and give enough freedome so i get the best of their ability because its something they want to do...do u think thats an approach that would work???

@@Narglesonamistletoe Yeah but as a cover up artists he could've drawn it on paper for someone else to tattoo over the existing work. Again each to their own preference.
That's probably why he got so interested in cover ups, looking at the best way to cover his own. But of course a full arm of solid black tribal is pretty much uncoverable.
@@spaghettilegs9882 to be fair depending on the ammount of negative skin, tribal can possibly be covered with bio-mechanical but again that's not a style that everyone wants
just because it can't get worse doesn't mean you can't put in the effort and give your client the choice of something they will like instead of going in blind. wth
Lol getting a cover up in about 3 weeks. Not because I want it gon just because I was young and dumb and stuck some lettering in a prime area. Plus it's a traditional wolf who doesn't love those?
nobody cares, ive been in and around the industry for over 10 years + and that cover up is not going to look so good in 1-2 years !!! nothing to do with being realistic or style but the colour choices from warm to cool tones in this will blend in to one blob with light spots of blue here and there, just honest seen from experience NOT The internet, 🍻cheers
Cheddar Cheese tbh I disagree. A friend of mine got a chest piece that’s a coverup with similar colours and hers only started to fail after 5-6 years, and then she got it touched up. I think it depends how it’s put in, the types of ink, aftercare and the skin quality.
Was trying to find a tattoo channel to ask a question. So hopefully someone can give me some insite cause I looked on google and couldn't find anything. I've had my tattoo since 2012. It has red, pink, purple, black, and blue ink. Recently I have been outside working with my husband and when I'm in the sun my tattoo starts burning like crazy. I'm not burning and I wear sunscreen but again tattoo feels like it's on fire. Can anyone give any ideas on what may be causing this?
@@sabbathjackal honestly I didn't even think about that haha I'm very fair skinned so that makes sense. It takes up a good portion of my upper arm as well.
If your tattoo is heavily saturated with a full heavy cover and no room to breathe with any lighter shading or skin breaks etc, it's definitely just because those sort of tats absorb more sun. Stress less 🙂
Just curious were his arms covered up as well?. Did he have previous tattoo or is there a link where he explains his tattoos . Thanks in advance Always like meanings of tattoos
That cross could've been saved and it'd actually last. Lets see this later on.. it already has a fake (edited) pic at the end.. guess everyone on Instagram will fall for it though.

He covered a cross with a demon, that’s kind of poetic
I think religious tattoos are a little dangerous it's easy to lose your religion. But a demon is artistic regardless of religion
Its a regular demon, but it looks like batman and venom mixed together.

Been trying to figure out a cover tattoo for this black triangle I have (it was my first tatt) but I want it covered now

I beg to differ. Imagine going in for a cover up and walking out with something that looks like shit.
How many times can you cover up a tattoo?
Wow the photo looks photoshopped compared to the video 🙈
Yeah in the video I thought it looked really muddy and dark, but the picture is bright??? Not buyin’ it
