Some people couldn't care less about their birthmarks or their placings, but for some, it is a real self-esteem problem. However, with their unique tattoo designs, these artists helped people cover their unattractive markings and to regain some much-needed confidence, showing that imperfections - embellished with cover up tattoos or not - are what make us beautiful.
Yet the tattooists did not only cover the birthmarks - they worked to incorporate them as a vital part of the tattoo design; whether it be a basketball, part of a flower, or a map of an imaginary world! There's really no end to the imagination with these cover up tattoo ideas.

Creative, though unless you're already someone interested in having tattoos, then potentially excessive and/or unnecessary. Birthmarks may change with age. There is a modest risk of the tattoos not quite making sense over time depending on the design. There is also the risk of dark tattoos hiding skin issues, especially start of skin cancer. It is a trade-off.

Every one of these is outstanding, creative and original. No one has to cover up their marks/scars but if you want to, these are great.
