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.

How to Cover Up Tattoos If You Have Oily Skin
Try: M.A.C. Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer, $19

If you're worried about smudging and slipping, make this concealer your pick. Its water-resistant formula contains silica to help absorb your skin's oils, meaning your coverage stays put. If you have an especially dark tattoo, try layering it over M.A.C. Studio Finish Skin Corrector, $19, in Pure Orange. The orange hue of this tinted version of Studio Finish will help cancel out blue and black ink, ensuring the finished look blends in with the rest of your skin.

Cover Up Tattoos on a Budget
Try: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer, $6

This easily accessible drugstore pick is perfect if you're on the go. Best for smaller tattoos, this heavy-duty formula comes with a handy creamy pencil concealer to help you temporarily erase your ink before using the creamy tube to blend the color outward onto the skin.
