The Most Mind-Blowing Transformations From Netflix's Tattoo Redo

Published on 8/6/2021 at 3:25 PM

If we've learned anything from Netflix's new reality series, Tattoo Redo, it's that tattoo blunders are a lot more common than you probably realize. The show follows five established tattoo artists who, in each episode, are tasked with taking some of their clients' most embarrassing and regrettable pieces of ink and transforming them into masterpieces with help from their loved ones. The episodes are currently captivating viewers because of their amazing tattoo transformations, though they also serve as an important reminder that maybe some things are better left . . . untouched.

So far, there have only been six episodes with three "redos" each, and even though it's been amazing to see each artist work their magic to give their clients' tattoos some fresh makeovers, we wouldn't be who we are if we didn't have a few favorites. Read ahead to check out some of the most impressive tattoo coverup from Tattoo Redo — and while you're at, go ahead and marathon through all the episodes if you haven't already.

In the second episode, Twig fixes a butt tattoo of a ghost pepper chili with his best friend Dan's name next to it — he got it after losing a bet.

As a way to keep the tattoo small, the coverup is a subtle one. He fills the pepper in with some color and adds a second pepper to cover up the name.

Before Matt Beckerich's Tattoo Redo

In episode one, Beckerich is tasked with covering up an unidentifiable piece of ink (she's decided that it could either be a shield or some sort of weapon) that his client got on a whim from another celebrity artist.
