Make up to cover a tattoo?

Can anybody recommend a make up brand to cover a dark tattoo?

Initially, I was looking of getting it covered with another tattoo, however, it’s quite dark & I don’t want it any bigger than it is, which the cover up would have to be, so I don’t want to be paying £££ for something I’ll only be trying to hide again. Then I looked into tattoo removal. I’ve been told it’s likely to cost ££££ & take the best part of a year to complete.

I hate to say but I’ve been telling myself for the last 17,18, 19 years I’m stuck with the damn thing. Usually I just have a ‘god I wish I never got it moment’ & get on with things but lately it’s just really getting to me. Yes I’ve let it get me down. I haven’t worn sleeveless tops in summer for the last 19 years as I hate it on show. It looks dreadful.

So I’m thinking of make up to cover it, obviously with it becoming colder now, winter clothes coming in, I’m in no real rush but I’m keen to find out what’s out there, if there’s any make up that really is good enough to conceal tattoos, I may be able to wear a sleeveless top next year!

Estée Lauder Doublewear body makeup is a good one for tattoos.

There was a brand I can't quite remember that did a tattoo cover up. Dermablend I think it was called. Hmm..

It is Vichy Dermablend, @MoistBandana . There are several colours and you can blend to match your skin. Set with Vichy powder and it stays put.

Thats the stuff.
It was really good at covering when I tried it about 10 years ago.
