Brian Hopson at K&B tattoo on Brook Road. He does awesome coverup work. Not pushy at all. I have had all my work done there except the one I had covered up and its excellent! If I had the one on my back done there I wouldn't be having to dp a coverup. Look him up his work is everywhere. You can see what hes cspable of doing! Good luck to you! Hes slso on instagram. Lots of pictures!

Jamie Martin at Body Accents Tattoo in South Hill, VA does free consultations and is an amazing trained artist! (434) 955-BODY. He is well worth the couple hour drive. He's done numerous coverups and you can never tell what they were before. Feel free to add him as a friend and look through his albums at others he's done. https://www.facebook.com/jamiemartintattoos?fref=ts...

Jess Versus does an awesome job. She is at heroes and ghost. I just got a realistic tattoo from her February 13,2015 and love it. I am getting it colored March 13, 2015. Pricing was pretty good as well $125 an hour. As you can see I got it on y ribs and that was my first tattoo. She was very careful, and willing to stop anytime I needed her to. RECOMMEND HER 1,000,000%
Does anyone have any artist recommendations for a tattoo cover up? I tried searching the sub, and the only post I could find was from two years ago...

On_A_Good_Day replied:
Depends on what style you are looking for and what you want for the cover up. Katie Davis at Salvation does the most amazing new style animals, flowers, and landscapes. The rest of the guys there are more the old school style but still really, really good.

Howie G. replied:
Just a tip but anyone that's worth a crap is at least 3 months booked out, if you can walk in and get a tat it's not a good thing. Andy Chambers is easily the best I've seen in VA and he is now in va beach. He's booked til Aug. for every one artist that's good there is at least 10 people that have no clue and shouldn't be doing it. I've had 10 different artist and only 2 were good. It's the hardest form of art there is.
