This means that these tattoos are actually “inside” the skin, so they cannot be hidden by adding a flesh-colored tattoo. This technique can also cause discoloration in this particular skin region. Moreover, tattoos are usually darker than the skin, so a flesh-colored tattoo cannot hide an old, dark-colored tattoo. Even if you got a new tattoo whose color matches exactly with that of your own skin, it’s bound to look less appealing if and when your skin tone changes. Your skin changes its tone following even moderate sun exposure (in other words, it gets tanned). This means that changes in your general skin color can lead to the formation of a small discolored spot, another unpleasant side effect if you get a skin-colored tattoo to cover up an old one.\n
