October 2nd, 2008Is it possible to cover up my tribal armband tattoo?
I have a tribal armband tattoo that I really want covered up. Is it possible or is the damage done? I understand that I might have to have an upper quarter/half sleeve for it to be fully covered.

Yes, Dermablend is a perfect product.
LEAD: A multitude of sins can be camouflaged with the right makeup. But while many women may look their best with just a dusting of blusher and a stroke of lipstick, others need the cloak of more concealing cosmetics designed to erase reality.
A multitude of sins can be camouflaged with the right makeup. But while many women may look their best with just a dusting of blusher and a stroke of lipstick, others need the cloak of more concealing cosmetics designed to erase reality.
Increasingly, cosmetics companies have been developing products to meet these special needs. The market has grown in recent years to include makeup for men and women troubled by disfiguring birthmarks, pigmentation problems, burns, scars and bruises after plastic surgery.
Such makeup can help victims of violent crime. Last June, the face of a model, Marla Hanson, was slashed with a razor. After surgery, cosmetics helped to conceal the scars.
These products are not only cover-ups for the face, but conceal varicose veins, so-called age spots on the hands and even stretch marks on the torso or legs. These skin-tone foundations are thick, opaque, waterproof and long-wearing. They cling to scar tissue, which is slick and difficult to cover. Several New Products
Esteem, a new company, offers fragrance-free foundations, color cosmetics, skin-care products, eye shadows and a mild alcohol-free shampoo.
The line is sold by the company at 201 East 69th Street, New York, N.Y. l0021. Its telephone number is 212-4l8-65ll. On Tuesday mornings the company offers free makeup-application classes to patients of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary Facial Plastics Clinic. Company representatives offer consultations to patients at physicians' offices.
Esteem joins a list of established companies offering an ever-expanding number of concealing creams. Probably the oldest product on the market is Covermark, an opaque cream made by Lydia O'Leary and introduced about 50 years ago. More recently, a stick and crayon form of the product were introduced. A product for the legs will be introduced in March.
Cover Creme, which was introduced three years ago by Dermablend Corrective Cosmetics, is a similar type of concealer available in a cream form. Last summer, the company introduced Leg Cover, a concealer for larger areas of the body. Soft Touch, a powder to soften the finish of the skin and add a hint of color, will be introduced this month.
Clinique, which is a larger cosmetics company and is geared to a general market, offers Continuous Coverage, a thick, opaque liquid.
Prices for corrective foundations range from $9.50 for l.2 ounces of Continuous Coverage to $22.50 for one-half ounce of Esteem's Totally Perfect Cover-Up.
Manufacturers say conventional makeup products hide skin flaws, but not all provide the coverage and consistency needed to adhere to scar tissue and conceal dark bruises. And most are not free of fragrance, the culprit behind many adverse reactions. This can be particularly important after corrective surgery.
Companies advise getting a physician's approval before using the cosmetics. Surgeons generally recommend waiting 48 hours after sutures are removed before applying makeup, which should not touch suture areas until they have healed. Skin that has been abraded to erase wrinkles or acne scars, for example, should not be covered with makeup until it is well healed, which takes about two weeks, according to Dr. Gary S. Bromley, an attending plastic surgeon at the New York Infirmary-Beekman Downtown Hospital. Peggy Skinner, executive director of the Burn Foundation in Augusta, Ga., who is Esteem's director of patient services, advises testing a facial cosmetic on a small area of the face before applying it more widely. Certain products have not been tested on postoperative skin before marketing, according to manufacturers.

.. yes, with the best tattoo artist anything is possible.. i would say that yes, you will have to have a quarter sleeve.. i have a ton of tats and I have lotus and waves that cover up my arm mistakes.. you will be fine but one thing, give the artist your general thoughts , youll have to use darker colors.. but let them have the final free rains cause they are the ones that will make or break it.. make sure you trust your artist.. if you email me and tell me your location i can recommend some.. i use to tour with artist and model for tattoo mag. so i have meet a tons of artist that are very respectable and great .. good luck!

Shirt sleeves is the easiest way, as clothes always are. Taping it might work. I wear skirts and have an ankle tat that has to be covered. Its a bit of pain but it works.
I wouldnt really recommend anything else.

Hey Joe, The short answer is yes …..it is possible for a very good artist to cover/disguise an armband. (I had an artist coverup a purple dragon the size of my fist). Take a look at this site (it had over 400 great coverup tattoos). Maybe you will get some ideas.
