Custom tattoo cover-up by Logan at The Hidden Rose NYC, transforming an older, smaller tattoo into a large-scale realism piece. The original design was fully reworked using layered depth, controlled contrast, and bold composition to create a cohesive sleeve element. The new tattoo features a highly detailed warrior portrait with ceremonial headwear, dramatic lighting, and rich textures—designed to fully integrate with the natural shape of the arm while concealing the previous tattoo beneath. This cover-up was planned to age cleanly, read clearly over time, and restore confidence through thoughtful redesign rather than simple concealment.

Client Testimonials

Yosh and Logan at The Hidden Rose are the best! They create a warm and welcoming environment where anyone can be comfortable. They are friendly and fun to be with. Yosh created a beautiful new tattoo for me that was a cover up for some tattoos that I no longer wanted. He created an idea that perfectly provided the cover up but also is still meaningful and symbolic to me. He is truly an artist, he listens, and he creates to meet your needs. I will be going back as soon as I decide what new art to get next!

Kristen

Getting a cover up is not the easiest thing , Logan made this process a walk in the park. The studio is beautiful, clean, and the whole team makes you feel at home. Not to mention the artistry, and the knowledge about Japanese tattoo culture... 5 stars no hesitation. Thank you guys, thanks so much!

Adrien

Logan at the hidden rose tattoo parlor is a literal samurai when it comes to cover ups . He took a tattoo that for the last year has taken a toll on me visually and turned it into a work of art . i was so impressed and so is everyone else who sees my new tattoo. Honestly cant wait to get another tattoo done by him an original this time .
10/10 highly recommend

Grizzly

The shop is so cozy and inviting, and creates an environment where you can be relaxed and totally comfortable. Logan’s consultation was thorough. Not only did we talk about my tattoo ideas, but Logan goes beyond just the concept to understand the motivation and inspiration to make sure the piece is uniquely yours.
