Coverup Tattoos
Have you outgrown your tattoo? Or, have you been unhappy with it from the start?
It is possible to have a tattoo you don’t like turned into something better. Think: “Improved”, not: “replaced”, although in some cases we can disguise the old ink completely under a new design. There are limitations to what is possible with cover-ups, if you have questions please fill out an intake form to get scheduled for a consultation.
Laser tattoo removal can be painful, take years to complete and cost more than a tattoo coverup or rework. Transforming a tattoo into something new that truly feels good to show off or expose to others can be life-changing. Cover-ups are never guaranteed.
No Ink Tattoos
This new technique of penetrative somatic healing, non-ink tattooing is a clean, safe and highly effective way to reconnect parts of your internal self that may have been exiled due to trauma, conditioning, or other life events; treating pain with pain.
“The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain”
-Gabor Maté
Single-use sterile needles are used with the same set-up as with ink tattoos, only with distilled water and ointment as the lubricant. Together we determine your pain needs, and if there is a design or pattern you would like, and small “stitch” shapes are made to the skin, which may stay red for up to two weeks before your body will heal these
With an intent focused to heal physical pain, repressed or active emotional pain, or a general desire to feel pain, The resulting release of adrenaline and endorphins into the bloodstream create a euphoric state, and the lingering-effects have been described as a relaxation deeper than sleep. You give permission for the barrier between your skin and the world to be broken, which fundamentally releases repressed emotions and can relieve physical pain by inviting the natural healing circulation of your own blood flow to the area. This is quantumly effective for healing.
