You may have noticed quite a lot of people getting ‘blackout tattoos’ over the past few years. It seems to be a growing trend in the tattoo industry, and is becoming an increasingly popular method of covering up or getting rid of old unwanted tattoos, particularly sleeves. It isn’t a style that is exclusive to tattoo artists, (and you don’t even have to be blacking an old tattoo out!), but we’ve noticed it’s a popular trend amongst tattoo artists, and blackout tattoos on those who are not already heavily tattooed, or part of the tattoo community are few and far between.
