At Black Sage, we don’t just offer world-class tattooing—we also provide in-house laser tattoo lightening and full removal services, giving you the freedom to evolve your body art without limitations.
As tattoo collectors, many of us eventually find ourselves with pieces that no longer reflect who we are. Maybe you’ve outgrown a design, or maybe an older tattoo is taking up valuable space where you want to showcase something new. In many cases, clients want a cover-up—but in order for an artist to create their best work, without compromise, lightening the existing tattoo with laser first is often the best path.
While some artists may opt to “blast over” an old piece, this often results in a design that’s more about hiding the old tattoo than creating something new and meaningful. These types of cover-ups can limit creativity, forcing the artist to focus on masking rather than making the most of your skin tone, body placement, and the overall flow of the new artwork.
By receiving a few laser sessions, the old tattoo can be lightened enough to give the artist full creative freedom. Yes, it’s still technically a cover-up—but without the usual cover-up limitations. This allows the new tattoo to truly shine as a cohesive, intentional piece of art—not just a patch.
At Black Sage, we believe your body deserves the best. Our in-house Black Sage Laser, is led by expert technician Jim Wilcox, who offers free consultations to help you understand the process and create a plan that works for your goals.
Take a look at the example below—this is what happens when a cover-up is done right: the old tattoo was an entire half sleeve which was lightened enough to give me the freedom to “do my thing” without compromising style, palette, or composition.
