Mission impossible? Cover tattoos

Filed in archive Beauty on October 2, 2006

Well, all of us have something to hide, be it our slightly bigger behinds or bony legs. But there are also times when one needs to hide things that seemed really cool and right when we were young. Face it, the tattoo on your neck doesn't really look very professional if you're not working as a building foreman or at Google.

That boyfriend is long forgotten and you're still stuck with his name written in a bleeding heart - is there anything you can do except laser removal?

Sure you can. Especially if your tattooed darling's name is still a present tense, and hopefully a future one too. Skilful gals are really handy at covering their past faux-passes with scarves, Russian shirt collars and turtlenecks, and we can most certainly resort to makeup too.

One of the best tattoo hider presently is Dermablend, I've heard countless friends use it to successfully hide all possible images, imperfections, veins and birth marks which gave them headaches.

Dermablend leg and body cover crème will set you back only $18 but will most surely cover 'RICK' in bold type. I mean, check the before and after picture! Dermablend says it lasts up to 16 hours and you can swim, work out or sweat in the summer without your little secret seeing the light of day. For all you really freaky out there, you can make sure the cover stays put with some Dermablend Setting Powder.
