Custom Tattoos & Expert Cover-Ups in Lisbon, Portugal
Old tattoos don’t always need to disappear. Sometimes they need a better idea. I work with tattoo cover-ups, blast-overs and custom geometric/ornamental tattoos in Lisbon, designing each piece in response to the existing tattoo and the body it sits on. The result can be a complete transformation or a new composition that deliberately keeps parts of the original work.
Tattoo Cover-Ups – Turn Regret into Art
I specialize in tattoo cover-ups, redesigning unwanted, faded, or poorly executed tattoos through geometric, ornamental, black and grey, and custom tattoo work.
Sometimes that means hiding the original completely. Sometimes the better solution is to use parts of it and build something stronger over what’s already there.
Blast-Overs – Embracing the Old to Create Something Bold
Sometimes covering the old tattoo completely isn’t the most interesting option. Blast-over tattoos deliberately leave parts of the original visible, adding new geometric, ornamental or blackwork designs over it.
The technique creates a layered, high-contrast result and gives the existing tattoo a new context without pretending it was never there.

Custom Tattoos – Geometric, Ornamental & More
Beyond cover-ups and blast-overs, I create custom tattoos built for the body they’re going on. My work focuses on geometric tattoos, ornamental tattooing and blackwork, with each composition developed specifically for its placement, scale and movement.
The design can be highly structured or more organic, but it always starts with the same question: how should this piece actually sit on the body?
