Mr. Reyes Cover-Up Ink Set

Premium Ink Set Designed Specifically for Cover-Ups

Who is Cover-Up Master Mr. Reyes?

Co-developed by Dynamic Color Company and Mr. Reyes, this professional-grade ink set is specifically formulated for cover-up tattoo work.

Kevin Reyes, known professionally as Mr. Reyes, is a tattoo artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. Globally recognized for his exceptional technique, he specializes in cover-ups and photorealism utilizing a signature "True Grey" approach.

This set pairs high-opacity, high-coverage black and white inks, specially designed to build new designs using "True Grey" tones directly over dark, dense pigments and faded tattoos.

Rather than using diluted grey wash for soft shading, "True Grey" is a technique and style that relies on a solid black foundation combined with precise gradations of black, white, and grey to achieve depth and dimension. It is ideal for everything from intricate cover-ups to detailed touch-ups.

What is a Cover-Up?

A "cover-up" involves tattooing a new design over an existing one to transform it into a completely new piece of art.

To refresh an old, faded tattoo or rebuild it into a completely different design, simply tattooing new ink directly over the old artwork is rarely sufficient for clean concealment.

Additionally, overworking the skin with excessive ink can cause unnecessary trauma, leading to uneven healing and pigment loss.

Rather than simply blacking out the area with heavy pigments, a successful cover-up relies on artist skill—utilizing the existing tattoo as shading, strategically layering lighter tones and highlights, and guiding the eye toward the new artwork.

Carefully evaluating the original tattoo's color density, size, placement, and skin condition is essential. Crafting a seamless cover-up requires advanced technique and the right ink selection.

This set provides artists with the ideal tools to approach complex cover-ups with confidence and achieve high-precision results.
