Hi there! What is the best ink for a blackout coverup, and what bright colour will sit on top of the black once healed? Many thanks

Hi Matt, there is no “best” ink for blackout tattoos. It always depends on your tattoo style which suits you best. However, there are some favourites for blackout tattoos. We can recommend Eternal Ink MAXX Black for all types of black tattoos. It goes in smoothly and stays black even after it has healed.

It is essential that the tattoo is completely healed and the ink is well absorbed by the skin before you can tattoo over a blackout tattoo. A high contrast is best for an effect to be visible at all, therefore we recommend a very pigment-rich and bright white, such as Eternal Ink White.
