Sometimes, the love is so great between two people that they feel compelled to immortalize that love through skin art. So they have faces or names of their significant others tattooed on their skin.
But something happens along the way and their love fizzles off.
Now, the exes might be out of their lives permanently but, unfortunately, their love skin art is also permanent. It’s always there to remind them of what they did impulsively or not.
Fortunately, there is a way to get out of this colorful situation. Yes, tattoos are permanent but they can always be covered.
These people have successfully covered tattoos of their exes with a better design.

4. The woman in his dreams

It should have been forever but it’s not. But you know what else is forever? Spiders. Black spiders. Is this better?
7. Literal interpretation
This is such a literal interpretation of covering up a tattoo. And it’s a very funny, too. It should also be a great reassurance to the present girlfriend (hopefully, the last) that he’s definitely over the ex.
Pretty great how this name tattoo was easy enough to cover-up. It’s also good advice for the future, isn’t it? Have faith the right person will come.

She finally accepted it. Chris does not play basketball well. But her favorite team is also loyal to her and has welcomed her back.
Yes, they’ve wised up to Laura’s true self. It’s just fitting that the design to cover up her name is full of wisdom. Don’t you love this owl?
That’s a very long name. And that’s an even longer tattoo to cover up that name. Definitely better to look at.

He wanted to cover up her name big-time. And he wanted, for sure, to show her she’s no longer part of his life. Or maybe he wants to tell himself she’s out.
It was a mistake. But he can have it erased and write the right name. Yes, the mistake can be rectified. Never mind that you can still read the first name.
So, did Kim eventually turn out to be Medusa at the end? Or maybe Medusa represents his distrust of women now. Or maybe Medusa is now his ideal woman.
34. The meaning of feather

It was a great tattoo, with all those details. And now, it’s going to take some work to cover it up. But they did it!
