Normally I'm smart enough to pick costumes where my tattoos aren't on display, but I'm now facing a costume where one will be in full view. Does anyone know the best way to cover one up? Is there a specific brand of makeup to go for?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I have the same issue with you! Most of my outfits mean I will be showing my arms. I have two tattoos down both arms and well I need to cover them.

So I brought some mehroon tattoo cover up from the internet, it seems to work. Seeing as one of my tattoos is bright pink.

if you want to cover it up, it might be a bit late now but if you go into boots phramacy, and ask them for tattoo make up, they can order it for you there are lots of different skin tonecolours to pick from, and i think its about £5 and it is only a small pot but apprenetly it works but tell them its one they have to order or they will say there is no such thing lol

lol working of the phramacy taught me a lot

Hey, Manda!
I saw your costume on Kara's FB page and thought it must be a bit of a pain to have tattoos when cosplaying. It was literally about 10 minutes ago - how weird, huh? Now I finally know how people cover them .

There seems to be a solution to everything these days.

Always a tricky one, but the thread below might also be of help to you
