Despite these reasons for wanting to remove a tattoo, the options are quite limited. Laser removal is often more painful than getting the tattoo itself and can be cost prohibitive for large designs, with most doctors charging per inch. But now, there is an easy, painless and cost-effective way to cover your tattoo, while still offering the option to display your body art when you want. Dermablend Professional, an expert in the coverage of minor to major imperfections for nearly 30 years, debuts the quickest and most painless way to cover tattoos with the launch of the NEW! Leg and Body Tattoo Primer.

Whether for a job interview, wedding or even if a tattoo just doesn't look right with an outfit, it can now be easily concealed with the help of Dermablend Professional Leg and Body Tattoo Primer. Applied under Dermablend Professional Leg and Body Cover SPF 15, the primer helps reduce application time and creates a more natural and flawless result. It also enhances wearability and is water-, transfer- and smudge resistant for 12 hours of wear. Available in two shades and suitable for all skin types, the smooth and blendable formula glides upon application to hydrate and comfort skin.

The Leg and Body Tattoo Primer is the perfect companion to the Leg and Body Cover SPF 15. Regardless of the size of tattoo, both products easily cover large skin surfaces. The go-to product for dermatologists and professional makeup artists, Leg and Body Cover's lightweight formula offers 14 natural skin tone shades suitable for all ethnicities. The transparent Setting Powder enhances the performance of Dermablend coverage products for up to 16 hours of wear.
