— Process

Four steps. No surprises.

01
Consult

Bring the old piece, we talk options — same day if possible, no pressure to book.

02
Design

You get a custom design worked around the existing ink. Revisions until it feels right.

03
Session

One or two focused sessions in a clean, calm room. Breaks whenever you need them.

04
Healed

We check in at week 2 and week 6 to make sure the piece is settling clean.

— Questions

Cover-up FAQs.

Almost always. Very dark, saturated ink and heavy scarring are the trickiest — sometimes we start with one laser session for reach, but most cover-ups are doable in a single sitting with the right design and placement.

Not usually. Only when the existing ink is so dense that fitting a new composition on top would compromise the piece. We'll tell you honestly at the consult.

Typically 20–40% larger. The new design needs breathing room to disguise the old shapes without turning muddy.

Cover-ups are priced by size, session length and complexity. Most sit between ₹8,000 and ₹35,000. You'll get a fixed quote after the consult — no surprises on the day.

Yes. Once the tissue is fully healed (usually 12+ months) we can design around it and even use it as part of the piece.
