What is a “blast over” tattoo? Well, it has nothing to do with rocket launches; unless you want it to, that is. Blast over tattoos rejuvenate your old, faded ink into something spectacular.

A typical blast over tattoo is a dramatic design of bold black line work with plenty of negative space.

It’s imposed over your older tattoos, which become a truly one-of-a-kind background.

If your tattoo sleeve has started blurring together over the years, or if you have some regrettable ink on your body (who doesn’t?), a blast over tattoo is the best decision to restore your bodily masterpiece. Think of it like a fresh, sharp black print cast over a watercolor. It provides contrast, and synthesizes the diverse shapes and colors of your other tattoos into a fascinating pattern.

Common blast over tattoos include skulls, butterflies, dragon and snake outlines, and mosaic geometry. They add a stunning new dimension that will renew your love for your old tattoos. And if you’re running out of un-inked real estate on your body, but you still want to experiment with tattoo designs, blast over tattoos are an innovative alternative.

Blast over tattoos represent your power to adapt. With a blast over tattoo, you’re designing your future with your past still in the background. Your history may be permanently etched on your skin, but it doesn’t control you.
