I think we should all take a very important lesson from this article: do not get someone else’s name tattooed on you.
Parents? Sure. Kids? Sure. But unless y’all know it’s for life, maybe think twice before getting your significant other’s name tattooed on you. Those cover-ups aren’t going to be cheap.

Bye, Brian.
I can’t tell you how many Brian cover-ups I saw while browsing Instagram. Brians, what’s going on? What’s happening, buds? Is this a worldwide Brian conspiracy?
Some people choose to cover up initials.
I like that this one went for the classic black block for most of the cover-up. Sometimes, that’s really all you can do to get rid of a tattoo that intricate.
Fire and blood.
What’s a good thing to cover up your ex’s name with? The seal of House Targaryen, of course. Those dragons will keep you safe from any terrifying exes.
See you later, Tiffany Marie.
Oh man, imagine having to cover up a neck tattoo. Not only would you have to go through the pain of getting it the first time, you’d have to sit even longer for the second. No thanks.
This cover-up was for the best.
Infinity tattoos with a word in them are very early 2000s, and they didn’t age well. The butterfly is a way better option, and the colors are gorgeous!
This was pretty extreme.
Goodbye, Jose. Hello, absolutely massive back piece dedicated to her mom. This was a glow-up if I’ve ever seen one. Mom tributes are the best tributes.
See what I meant about feathers?
They’re just such an easy and efficient way to make a name disappear. I like that the feather’s tip continues on a bit. It looks very fluid, like it really is floating on the wind.
Finger tattoo? No problem.
Bye, Chris. You have been replaced by a floral/lotus-looking tattoo, and you probably won’t be missed. I want a finger tattoo so badly right now, guys.
Aw, adios, Matilda.
I mean, that heart over the “i” sure was something. The new tattoo is much nicer, and I love that they managed to get such clean lines around the edges.
Sabrina, we hardly knew ye.
Sabrina and her matching infinity sign were replaced by a gorgeous forest landscape with a full moon. I am a big fan of this coverup! I love the dripping roots and vines.
A flower is a classic choice.
Thanks to the full petals, flowers are an ideal way to cover up an unwanted tattoo. You can fill in the petals to cover up the words, and stretch them as far as you need to cover all the letters!
Leo, ya burnt.
It’s neat that Leo went into a chrysalis and emerged a beautiful, grey and blue butterfly. I’ve never seen a Leo do that before. Give him an Oscar.
Feathers are very popular for name cover-ups.
One of the most common cover-up images people choose is the feather. It’s likely because they’re long, and the intricacy neatly hides the curves of a name. Shout-out to this one for the watercolor background!
Melissa, your time is up.
So your name is going to be replaced with an actual watch, surrounded by flowers and waves. I have to say, that cover-up tattoo is absolutely stunning.
