The same way the relationship ended, your ex's tattoo doesn’t also have to last a lifetime. Tattoos can be creatively covered up, and the previous linework can be repurposed. Numerous artists are great at coming up with excellent tattoo cover-ups for name or initials that will entirely hide your old one. Specifically, names or initials written in black ink are often easier to remove than lighter colors. But no matter the color – be it dark green, blue, or purple, be rest assured that an artist can transform it into a brand new work of art.#5

Sadly, it’s not all relationships that survive. But then the removal of your ex's name or initials from your skin is one great way to kiss goodbye to a breakup. Nature-themed cover-ups are quite a popular choice, and feathers appear to represent freedom from a toxic or frustrating relationship. Specifically, the portrait of your BF or GF can be risky, but thankfully, tattoo shops are forever open for a re-fix.#10

Covering up a tattoo doesn’t have to feature typical photos of birds, roses, feathers, or flowers; you can replace your ink using a hilarious tribute to your most-loved cartoon character. Besides, if your design has faded over time, an artist can suitably cover the original work using bold colors.#15
