There should be a rule that you should never get the name of your significant other tattooed on your body. No matter how much you love them. It seems like once you do…you’ve jinxed the relationship and when it ends…you’re stuck with a permanent reminder of them.
Here are 13 times people covered up tattoos of their exes with something crazy, unique, and interesting.
You gotta hand it to them for figuring out a solution to this massive mistake.
1. Feather Coverup
Her ex had a very long name, making covering it up a big project. Luckily, it was originally done in light blue ink. After blending the name into the watercolor feather design, it’s not even noticeable.
2. Red Rose
In this case, the boyfriend’s initials were tattooed on a puzzle piece. He was the missing piece in her life at one time, but not anymore. Now, a tribal flower design is much more appropriate.
3. Expired Relationship
Sometimes humor is the best option for a coverup. That was this man’s preferred method. He had the tattoo artist place a red void tattoo over the name.
4. Black Spider
Spiders are dark and ominous, just like the memories of his ex. The name was haunting him daily and he knew he had to replace it with something. Personally, spiders freak us out, but to each his own!
5. Painted Over
Most people don’t want others to know that their tattoo is a coverup. However, with this one, that is the actual point. The tattoo is a small stick man covering up the name with a paint roller.
6. Day Of The Dead
It was a little name, but the man was ready for a big change. He covered it up with a giant lady of death tattoo. The final result is both spooky and beautiful.
7. West Coast Coverup
This tattoo coverup doesn’t try to hide anything. It is very blunt in its approach. A few letters of Francesca’s name are simply crossed out and replaced with substitutions.
8. Permanent Ring

In the past, she wore her ex’s name like a ring around her finger. It wasn’t exactly easy to take off after they broke up, but now, a dark-colored mandala plant tattoo encapsulates the whole thing.
9. Gotham City

You would think that a name tattoo as large as this one and done in such thick black ink would be hard to cover up. However, it was no match for Batman. The superhero successfully helped the man to fight back against his troubled past.
10. Wise Owl

Animals are definitely one of the wisest choices for tattoo coverups. This person decided to use a cute little owl. We love how the white ink stands out against the black and brown colors.
11. Changing Teams

He used to be a big fan of his basketball player partner Chris, but they had a falling out. Now he prefers to think about football instead. His favorite team to watch these days is the Oregon Ducks
12. Cool Car Tattoo

The first woman’s name was a big accident. Here’s to hoping that this new relationship works out for him. Otherwise, he is going to end up having a full sleeve of crossed-out names.
