Ok, so I don't have a tattoo yet, but I know there must be some people here that do and I thought this was interesting.
I stumbled upon this product and apparently it is used int he film industry to conceal tattoos. Have a look at the before and after shots!

Looks interesting, seemsa bit hardcore for anything I'd ever need though. I played around with covering my tattoos once and just used liquid latex and Kryolan bodypaint (I swear by that stuff), which give a very good result. Like anything though you need the patience to blend it properly, which is something I'll never have XD
I've always wondered who had the job of covering Angelina Jolie's tattoo's in Original Sin, and what they used, because that was a flawless job.

I hate to be the voice of cynicism here... but I can't help but feel that the girl with the full arm tattoo in the pink shirt is actually two different people - the second one's arm looks to be a different shape, and as far as I can tell the girl in the first pic is a blonde, not a brunette.
But then, it's hard to tell. Carry on - it sounds a potentially good product otherwise.

Actually I was thinking the same thing, she has a different arm shape too. I'm sceptical of the top one too because her hair has been gaussian blurred and brightened, so I'm not so sure that the whole picture isn't just photoshopped. But I guess that comes with the internet these days. Who can ever say for sure?

Not sure about that,one view is from front on and the other is a more side on view but she has the same neck moles/freckles.Having said that before and after pics are always photographed in a biased way...every anti wrinkle advert I've seen has the before shot with sidelighting to emphasise shadows and after shots with front lighting to eliminate shadows.

Adverts are worse when they use CG. Head & Shoulders adverts are the most obvious.

I don't see why they bother... hair strands are one of the hardest textures to computer generate.

Pantene is worse. There is no WAY hair can be that shiny and perfect. Makes me angry.

Well, not without the right lighting and having come directly from an intensive salon treatment at least. Oh, and a lot of post-film cleaning up and editing

actually it can... but not straight out of the shower after using pantene... You need straightening and extra products, plus decent lighting and good camerawork. You probably wouldn't need to do much post production work if the hairdresser did their job right. My friends hair looks pretty close to that most days cause she puts in some wierd syrum stuff and straightens her hair all the time, but then she has awesome hair to begin with. My hair will never look like that... damn genetics means that my hair grows for different lengths of time and I'll always have fly away bits... just have to make the best of what I got.

Janeen Schreyer was the makeup artist who worked on Jolie in Original Sin.
Although it is possible to achieve a blemish free skin, the flawless finish would have been courtesy of the camera.
When I cover tattoos for events such as weddings, the look has to last all day. I use concealers (Mehron, Dermacolour, Ben Nye), a coloured base (the colour depends on the type of tattoo - usually red or green), powder and sealant.
The finish lasts all day, does not rub off on clothing, resists persperation and gives a flawless look for the camera.
