I have three small tattoo's. I need to cover them for a shoot, and I dont know how, or what to use. Does anyone have any idea's on how to cover them. It will be a big help!
Thanks.

I see 2 options:
a) a good MUA
b) a photographer with good Photoshop skills

I do the B option since it is quicker for me.

Look for a special type of makeup called "Dermabelnd"
It's used to cover scars, burns, tattoot, etc
It's sort of "super-base"

A good costume shop carries tattoo cover makeup.  It comes in varying shades.  A pinch of talc after application removes any stickiness.   I have used it with great luck.

Photoshop through and through...sometimes it's easier to remove a good tattoo, than bad makeup work in Photoshop.

Dermablend works wonders.
