How to hide a tattoo?

The tattoos, especially those done by professional craftsmen, are undeniably very beautiful. However, there are situations in life when it is desirable to hide the drawing from prying eyes. Let's take a look at a few simple ways to do this.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is painting over a tattoo with decorative cosmetics. Let's take a step by step how to do it:

• first you need to thoroughly exfoliate the skin, for example, with a scrub, so that the foundation lies evenly;
• then rub the area with a special body tonic;
• apply a masking corrector to the drawing with your hands or a makeup sponge;
• then cover the treated area with a foundation to match the skin color and wait until it is completely dry;
• powder this area - this will help remove shine and unevenness;
• complete the work by spraying the "camouflage" with hairspray or a special fixing agent for make-up.

If you do everything right and choose the right color for decorative cosmetics, the tattoo will not be visible.

An orange lipstick or eye shadow of the same color can be used as a corrector for masking a dark tattoo. The orange tint neutralizes the dark pigment of the ink.

An easier and safer way to hide a tattoo is to choose the right clothes. It should cover exactly those places where the drawing is located:

• a tattoo on the leg will easily hide trousers, jeans or tight tights;
• a large pattern on the arm can be disguised with long sleeves of a blouse, turtleneck, jacket or long sleeve;
• in order to hide the tattoo on the wrist, it is enough to decorate it with massive bracelets, put on a watch on a wide strap;
• gloves can be pulled on the hands (of course, if appropriate);
• a tattoo on the neck will easily hide behind a beautifully tied handkerchief or scarf.

When choosing a camouflage bow, remember that it must correspond not only to the dress code of the institution where you are going, but also to the weather conditions.
