Absolutely, covering tattoos or bruises is possible with the right products, the makeup won't budge and will stay put all day/night! I would definitely ask the MUA if its something they have experience in, to ensure they have the right products and get them to do it at your trial so you can see how it wears over the day.
Usually there's an extra cost as it takes more time and specialised products, and will also depend on the size and location.
hi Kessia a professional makeup artist is best for this service. We usually use airbrush makeup for this service is the coverage is flawless. Tattoo coverage does cost a little above the regular rate as we are sometimes spending up to 1 hour and a lot of product and skill in covering tattoos. Naturally, it's all about size and depth of colour that really determines time and product which then reflects on price quoted. If you need a quote for your tattoos, please email us a photo and we can give you a price. cheers Kerrie Magical Makeovers
Yes. However it does depend on the size / colour etc, but it is something all professional makeup artists should be able to do.
This will incur an extra fee as it is tedious work and uses extra product.

HI Kessia, an experienced makeup artist will have no trouble covering your tattoos. This is usually priced separately depending on the size of the tattoo. It is requested these days more often than not.

Hi Kessia,
Covering tattoos is definitely something all professional make-up artists should be able to do and it is a very common request from a lot of Brides, their maids and family members. Depending on which artist you go for, tattoo coverage may be charged separately but I personally include this service as part of the make-up service at no extra charge. If you are thinking of a larger area though, say a back tattoo if you are wearing a backless gown, then depending on the size of the tattoo an additional charge may be quoted. Covering tattoos is actually a very fun and skillful job to do which I personally enjoy.
Kind regards
