Creating a successful coverup requires a lot of patience. The customer needs to put full trust in the artist. The artist will have to create a design over and around the existing design that needs to be covered up. The final design will not be exactly what the customer wants since other factors that affect it are existing colours, keloids, and outlines. As an artist you have to convince the customer that you will be fully in charged of creating the cover up based on the customer's requested design. It is not easy to convince a new customer and when the artist allows the customer to take control of the design the result is not always favourable.
