Cover-Up Tattoos in Los Angeles

A good cover-up isn’t a bigger, darker tattoo dropped on top of an old one. It’s a new design engineered around what’s already there, using the density and structure of Mesoamerican imagery — serpent coils, feather work, Coatlicue’s skirt, codex patterning — to absorb the old lines instead of hiding them.

Send a clear, well-lit photo of the existing work with your enquiry and Goethe will tell you honestly what’s possible. Los Angeles, by appointment only.
