Cover Up Tattoos Like Kat Von D
Try: Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Concealer, $25

This long-wear concealer is the brainchild of expert tattoo artist Kat Von D who knows a thing or two about ink, so you can rest easy that your body art will go unnoticed. After applying the concealer with a concealer brush, let it dry completely before building more layers.

Cover Up Tattoos If You Have Sensitive Skin
Try: Cover FX Cream Concealer, $27

The name says it all: Thanks to a wide range of available shades and its full coverage, this Canadian brand has become a go-to for brides-to-be looking to cover up their ink. Because Cover FX formulas are completely free of the "inflammatory five" -- parabens, fragrance, gluten, mineral oil and talc -- this concealer is the perfect pick for those with sensitive skin. For best results, layer the concealer and top with Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation.

Yes, You Can Cover Up Tattoos When You're Going Outdoors
Try: Dermablend Leg and Body Cover, $30

This highly pigmented, long-wear body foundation is a godsend for those with tattoos that span wide areas of the body. We love the added SPF that keeps your skin (and your tattoo) protected from the damaging sun. For an even more natural finish, prep the area with Dermablend Leg and Body Tattoo Primer, $25, a chunky concealer stick that lets you zero in on shapes.

Cover Up Tattoos on Your Wrist
Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer, $20

A smooth, natural finish can be just as important as opacity when covering up tattoos. This creamy concealer works best on wrist tattoos, where creasing can often be a problem. Warm the product up on the back of your hand before applying for a smooth application. This pick is also great for concealing under eye bags for the same reason.

A Stain-Free Way to Cover Up Tattoos
Try: CoverMark Leg & Body Magic, $24.95

If you're worried about staining your crisp white button up or new pencil skirt, this cover-up will keep your mind at ease. The formula goes on completely opaque and unlike many other concealers, doesn't require a setting powder to stay put. Once you've snagged the job, set this product aside for camouflaging visible varicose veins, bruises and age spots on the body.
