Between Dermablend Professional’s weightless feel, superior smudge-resistance, and ability to effortlessly give the appearance of flawless skin, this high-performance powder proves itself to be a premium tattoo concealer.

Dermaflage Tattoo Cover Up makeup kits are versatile, easily blend together to match your skin, are guaranteed to last all day long, and are absolutely worth the investment.

Pros

Available in 4 color palettes; light, medium, tan, and dark. Each makeup set includes a 3 color palette. Smudge proof. Waterproof. Quick-drying. Matte finish.

Cons

Although these sets cover a wide range of skin tones, Dermaflage’s solution is fairly expensive.

Best Bang for the Buck

Bottom Line

Inexpensive, long-lasting, available in multiple hues, and super-simple to use, Facestudio Master Conceal is an efficient solution for smaller tattoos.

Pros

Available in 5 colors, light/medium, light, fair, medium, and medium/deep. Affordable. Extremely easy to apply. A little goes a long way.

Cons

While this is an excellent tattoo concealer, it would be nice to see larger containers and darker color options.

Bottom Line

Boo-Boo Cover-Up does double duty as both a tattoo concealer and a nourishing treatment for healing and hiding bug bites, scrapes, scratches, and acne.

Pros

Available in 3 colors; light, medium, and dark. Available in 2 sizes. Contains healthy aloe, chamomile, green tea, tea tree oil, and vitamin E ingredients. Great for concealing minor skin imperfections as well.

Cons

Although the larger size is a good value, it is still a relatively expensive product.

Cons

Unfortunately, the color you need may not be readily available online.

Whether you regret that tat from years past, or need to cover it up to be socially or professionally appropriate, tattoo concealers are a great fix for temporarily hiding your ink. Tattoo concealers are just like undereye or blemish concealers, only they are for any part of your body and provide heavier, more long-lasting coverage over vibrant colors (the concealers contain colored pigments to neutralize the dominant color(s) of your tattoo). We recommend buying a palette with different shades if your tattoo has a range of colors; otherwise one single concealer should be sufficient. The best tattoo concealers cost about $30.
