67 Name Cover Up Tattoo Ideas

Inside: 67 Name Cover Up Tattoo Ideas

Breakups can be very, very emotionally draining. Especially if you’re left with a permanent reminder of your ex on your body. Getting a tattoo design with your partner’s face, name, or initials inked is easier than getting rid of it.

Luckily, some crafty tattoo artists have the skills and creativity to turn them into something new, allowing them to let go of the past and move on.

We have come up with a list of name cover up tattoo ideas that were dedicated to their exes!

Name Cover Up Tattoo Ideas

1. Bye Conner

2. Sorry, Wendy: You stood no chance against the Mother of Dragons.

3. Later Edward: Crowns are a solid way to hide that ex and remind yourself of your own royalty.

4. Laura is Long gone: Get an owl to remind yourself of how much wiser you are now.

5. Raven: Slap on a raven who says “nevermore” to relationship regrets.

6. Patrick and Bonnie no more: Really celebrate the fact that you are now a free bird.

7. Bye Bye Ricardo

8. Initials: Allow smudgy initials to blossom into something new.

9. Camden Cover-Up: And get a few roses in honor of you and Camden being o-v-e-r.

10. Butterfly: Give faded hearts (both literally and metaphorically) a vibrant makeover!

Bye Bye Past, Hello New Ink

16. Shit Happens: When all else fails, you can just be honest.

17. Feather: Forget the past with this pretty feather tattoo.

18. Marge

19. Chole: The mountains are calling and we must go, sorry Chole.

20. See-ya Stacy: This beauty skull is the perfect cover-up!

21. Kayleigh

22. Your Name: Mistakes were made, no biggy just scratch it out.

23. San Franciso: Ah yes. I’ve seen this before. You trade in Francesca for the wonderful city of San Francisco. San Francisco knows how to treat you right. San Francisco would never cheat on your with Dave.

24. Screw You

25. Rose: A rose cover-up is the best way to forget a loser ex!

26. Julia: A Cherry Blossom beauty!

27. John

28. Beautiful Butterfly: Forget your ex, think about all the new adventures.

29. Big Spider: Now, instead of getting spooked every time he sees that tattoo that reminded him of his ex, he’ll get spooked by this giant, scary spider instead! Honestly, that’s 100 percent worth it.

30.Void: Hilarious. Love a tattoo recipient with a sense of humor. Tayla may be voided in his heart and on his body, but I like to think she’s out there living her best life without a dumb tattoo of her ex’s name on her body at all.

Name Cover Up Tattoo Ideas Just for You

31. Rose: Glad JS was covered over with a big, beautiful rose.

32. Summer: This is great. I assume this person met Summer in barber school. Too bad it came time to cut Summer out of their life. But this little stick figure painter looks like he’s got it under control.

33. Faith: Whoa, this is clever. Frank became “faith” with a cross in front of it. This tattoo artist is a literal genius. I for one have total faith that, with this tattoo coverup, Frank will soon be completely erased from his ex’s memory.

34. Feather: Now, instead of his name, she has a huge, gorgeous feather, one that was definitely part of those wings she flapped to get the heck away from her ex. Now, when people ask her about it, she can be like, “Oh, it symbolizes my freedom… from a real jerk!”

35. Vroom Vroom: Look, the car was always the love of his life. Now he has the room to properly memorialize her. I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually broke up with Damla just so he could get the car tattoo without feeling guilty.

36. Will: You know that old saying… Where there’s a Will, there’s a way to cover up Will when he shatters your heart into a thousand pieces

37. Patrick: Doesn’t seem like Patrick panned out!

38. Gene: When the whole prince turns into a frog happen in reverse

39. Isaac: Talk about a diamond in the rough!
