Tattoo Cover 1 – Light

Item #27032

A professional six-color alcohol-activated tattoo cover palette created for fair to medium complexions. Tattoo Cover 1 combines targeted color correctors with light complexion shades, giving artists the tools to neutralize visible tattoo pigments first and then rebuild the natural-looking skin tone over the corrected area.

Includes: Muted Green, Orange Neutral, Soft Orange Neutral, CVA Suntan Red, Fairest Tone, and Medium Highlight.

Muted Green
A muted green corrective shade for reducing the appearance of red, pink, and warm red-orange tones. Use it selectively over red tattoo pigments or visible redness before rebuilding the surrounding skin tone.

Orange Neutral
A stronger orange corrector designed to help neutralize blue, blue-black, cool gray, and blue-purple tattoo pigments. Particularly useful when dark tattoo ink reads cool beneath the skin.

Soft Orange Neutral
A softer, lighter orange corrector for gently balancing blue and purple undertones, especially on fair and lighter complexions where a stronger orange correction could become too noticeable.

CVA Suntan Red
A warm red-brown adjusting shade that can help counter green or blue-green tones and restore warmth to an area after corrective colors have been applied. It is also useful for customizing warmer complexion matches and adding natural variation back into corrected skin.

Fairest Tone
The lightest complexion shade in the palette. Use it to rebuild very fair skin tones, brighten custom blends, soften stronger corrective colors, or create highlights that help the covered area transition naturally into surrounding skin.

Medium Highlight
A light-to-medium complexion shade for creating natural skin matches and bridging the gap between corrective layers and the surrounding complexion. It can also be mixed with the other skin tones to fine-tune depth and warmth.

Best for:

• Tattoo concealment on fair to medium skin tones
• Neutralizing red, blue, purple, and cool tattoo pigments
• Professional skin color correction
• Custom complexion matching
• Waterproof face and body makeup
• Film, television, stage, bridal, photography and SFX makeup

Tattoo Cover 2 – Dark

Item #27033

A professional six-color alcohol-activated tattoo cover palette created for medium to deep complexions. Tattoo Cover 2 combines deeper complexion colors with corrective shades that allow professional artists to neutralize unwanted tattoo colors while maintaining the warmth, depth, and dimension of richer skin tones.

Includes: Buttermilk, Natural Tan, Milk Chocolate, Soft Cherry Blush, Teal, and Special Dark.

Buttermilk
A warm golden complexion shade that can help brighten or lighten custom skin-tone mixtures while adding warmth. Its yellow-golden character is also useful when balancing purple or violet undertones during color correction.

Natural Tan
A versatile warm tan complexion shade for rebuilding medium and tan skin tones after the underlying tattoo pigment has been corrected. Mix it with lighter or deeper shades to fine-tune the final complexion match.

Milk Chocolate
A rich medium-to-deep brown complexion shade used to restore depth and natural skin color over corrected tattoo areas. It is especially useful as a foundation shade for deeper custom blends.

Soft Cherry Blush
A soft red complexion adjuster for restoring red warmth and natural undertones to deeper skin tones. It can also be used selectively to counter green or teal discoloration and prevent finished tattoo coverage from appearing flat or ashy.

Teal
A blue-green corrective shade for selectively reducing the appearance of red, red-orange, and overly warm tattoo pigments. Use sparingly and build in thin layers before restoring the natural complexion over the corrected area.

Special Dark
The deepest complexion shade in the palette. Use it to recreate deep skin tones, deepen other palette colors, add natural shadow and dimension, or fine-tune custom matches for richer complexions.

Best for:

• Tattoo concealment on medium to deep skin tones
• Neutralizing red, orange, purple, and other visible tattoo pigments
• Restoring natural warmth and dimension
• Custom mixing for deeper complexions
• Waterproof face and body makeup
• Film, television, stage, bridal, photography and SFX makeup

Correct First. Match the Skin Second.

The key to realistic tattoo concealment is generally not covering the tattoo with one thick layer of flesh-colored makeup.

Instead, use color theory to neutralize the strongest visible tattoo pigments first. Once those colors have been visually reduced, build the surrounding complexion back over the corrected area using thin layers of custom-blended skin tones.

This approach helps minimize product buildup and creates a more natural transition between the covered tattoo and the surrounding skin.

How to Cover a Tattoo with Alcohol-Activated Makeup

1. Identify the tattoo colors

Look closely at the tattoo before applying makeup. Identify the strongest colors still visible through the skin - such as blue-black, red, purple, green, or orange.

Different tattoo pigments may require different corrective colors.

2. Choose the appropriate corrective shade

Use opposite-color theory to reduce the appearance of the tattoo pigment.

As a general starting point:

• Green helps neutralize red and pink
• Orange helps neutralize blue and blue-purple
• Yellow/golden tones help soften violet and purple
• Red tones help counter green and blue-green
• Teal/blue-green helps reduce red-orange warmth

These are starting points rather than rigid rules. Tattoo ink, skin tone, ink depth, and the way color shows through the skin can all affect the correction needed.

3. Activate with 99% isopropyl alcohol

Add a small amount of 99% isopropyl alcohol to the desired color or dampen your brush with alcohol before working the surface of the makeup.

For best results, allow the alcohol to begin activating the pigment before loading your brush. 

4. Neutralize in thin layers

Apply a thin layer of corrective color directly over the tattoo pigment.

Allow it to dry completely before deciding whether another corrective layer is necessary.

Avoid trying to make the tattoo disappear immediately. The goal at this stage is to neutralize the unwanted color, not yet to create the final skin tone.

5. Build your complexion match

Once the tattoo colors have been sufficiently neutralized, mix the complexion shades in your palette until they resemble the surrounding skin.

Apply the mixture in thin layers over the corrected area, gradually extending slightly beyond the tattoo to help blend the edges.

6. Recreate natural skin variation

Natural skin is not one perfectly uniform color.

For the most convincing tattoo cover, subtly vary your final complexion mixture where needed. Add small amounts of warmth, depth, highlight, or blush tone so the covered area visually integrates with the surrounding skin.

Control Your Coverage

The amount of alcohol and the way you load your brush help determine the opacity of alcohol-activated makeup.

For sheer washes:
Use more 99% isopropyl alcohol to create thin, translucent layers.

For stronger coverage:
Use less alcohol on the brush and spend more time working the surface of the activated pigment before loading the color.

Building several thin layers generally provides more control and a more realistic finish than applying one heavy layer. 

Professional, Long-Wearing Tattoo Concealment

Alcohol-activated makeup allows professional artists to build concentrated pigment in extremely thin layers.

Once dry, the makeup creates a lightweight matte finish that moves naturally with the skin while delivering the durability needed for demanding professional applications.

Why Does My Alcohol-Activated Palette Look Dry?

Alcohol-activated makeup is supposed to look dry in the palette.

During manufacturing, the product begins in liquid form and undergoes a dry-down process that leaves concentrated solid pigment in each well. Variations in the surface appearance - including texture, shrinkage, small cracks, or uneven-looking surfaces - are normal and do not mean the product is dried out or unusable.

Simply reactivate the desired color with 99% isopropyl alcohol before application. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alcohol-activated tattoo cover palette?

An alcohol-activated tattoo cover palette contains concentrated professional pigments that are activated with isopropyl alcohol before use. The technique allows artists to apply very thin layers of color while gradually building durable tattoo concealment.

Which Tattoo Cover Palette should I choose?

Tattoo Cover 1 – Light is designed primarily for fair to medium complexions and contains lighter complexion shades along with green and orange corrective colors.

Tattoo Cover 2 – Dark is designed primarily for medium to deep complexions and contains richer complexion shades along with red, teal, and golden corrective colors.

Professional artists may also use colors from both palettes together when additional correction or a broader range of complexion shades is required.

What alcohol should I use?

For optimal activation, we recommend 99% isopropyl alcohol.

Why are there green, orange, red, and teal colors in a tattoo concealer palette?

Tattoo coverage often requires color correction before skin-tone coverage.

Corrective colors help visually neutralize contrasting tattoo pigments. Once the unwanted color has been reduced, the complexion shades are layered over the correction to recreate the appearance of surrounding skin.

Can the colors be mixed together?

Yes. All six colors within each palette can be mixed, layered, and adjusted to create custom corrective colors and complexion matches.

Is alcohol-activated tattoo makeup waterproof?

Once fully dry, the makeup creates a durable waterproof finish intended for demanding professional face and body applications. 

Do I need setting powder?

Traditional setting powder is generally unnecessary. Alcohol-activated makeup dries and sets as the alcohol evaporates.

Can I use these palettes for something other than tattoos?

Yes. In addition to tattoo concealment, professional artists can use the corrective and complexion colors for skin discoloration, body makeup, character work, prosthetic blending, special effects makeup, and other long-wearing color-correction applications.
