Cover-up tattoos cost 30–50% more than regular work of the same size. In Istanbul they start from ₺5,000 — here's what determines the final price.
Quick answer: Cover-up tattoos in Istanbul start from ₺5,000 — typically 30–50% more than equivalent fresh work. The darkness and size of the old tattoo are the main price drivers.
What determines cover-up price?
Darkness of old work: Solid black areas need a larger, denser new design to hide them. Size: Bigger old tattoo means bigger new design is required. Laser need: Some work can't be covered directly — 2–4 laser sessions to lighten it first add to total cost but improve the result.
