Makeup Artist Covers Up Bridgerton Star Claudia Jessie’s “Ginormous” Tattoo, Fans Left Baffled
Footage of Claudia Jessie’s back tattoo getting impressively covered left many fans baffled. Most Bridgerton viewers would’ve never guessed that the actress, who portrays Eloise Bridgerton on Netflix’s historical romance show, donned a significant inked piece.
As it turns out, the 34-year-old actress has a gorgeous floral-patterned tattoo going across the center of her back up toward the top of her right shoulder.
- Claudia Jessie has a large floral-patterned tattoo on her back and shoulder.
- Make-up artist Sophie Burton shared how she covered Claudia's tattoo with detailed techniques.
- Fans were stunned and thought Claudia's covered tattoo looked like sunburn.
Taking to her Instagram page, which has since been deleted, make-up artist Sophie Burton shared pictures of the process to hide Claudia’s permanent inked art, explaining a little more about the magic behind the cover-up, Tyla reported on June 27.
Sophie reportedly wrote at the time: “The tattoo cover I used and love the most is @maekupforfilmandtv base 1, then a mix of 00,1 and 2 to get the right tone, then blended the edges and gave depth back to the skin using the hard brush flick technique and Skin Illustrator OG pallette, then applied a custom made prosthetic (made by @charlottevictoriaallen) to give the cover skin texture! Magic! No tattoo!”

An Instagram user wrote: “That’s a beautiful tattoo!”
Someone questioned: “I wonder why they put such a high-contrast concealer on first.
“I would’ve thought it would be closer to her skin tone.”

According to Broadway, TV, and film make-up artist Kyle Krueger’s tutorial, which was shared on Playbill in 2020, the key to covering up an actor’s tattoo is to use opposing colors to neutralize the ink.
As per the tutorial, “If your tattoo is black or blue, dab coral or red makeup over it.” Moreover, “consult a color wheel to literally check [which] colors are opposite.”

The tutorial further suggested: “When the colors ‘mix,’ they neutralize.
“Then, simply layer with skin tone make-up.”

Claudia’s back piece might come as a surprise to Bridgerton fans; however, the Birmingham native has been vocal about her body art before.

You can watch Kyle’s tutorial, which was shared on Playbill in 2020, below:
“By that point, I’d done all the things I shouldn’t really have done as an actor,” she admitted
Specifically, getting loads of tattoos, including a “ginormous” one on her back, The Guardian reported.
At the time, Claudia didn’t reveal what her back tattoo looked like or what it represented.

What's wrong with all those tattoo haters in the comments above? I mean, probably getting a tattoo IS a bit more risky for an actor as it may limit their role opportunities - but as this example shows, every tattoo is possible to cover. And so what if she'll regret having it? I bet she has more than enough money to pay for laser removal or something. Moreover, one can also regret having kids, getting married and even adopting a dog - all three far harder to hide/ignore/remove from your life than a tattoo - yet nobody discourage young people from doing these things.
Right? And not boo is said about did they cover up any of the men's tattoos? Because you know they have them. There is nothing wrong with ink and if you regret it you can remove it or apparently make up over it. There's also makeup by professional tattoo artists that cover up tattoos. I often wonder why they don't use those

"why get so many tattoos and then cover them?" eerrrrm. because she's playing a character without tattoos? it's not like she regrets them and is hiding them. she's playing a role. a role without tattoos. no different to the actor that played Hodor having his facial tattoos covered for filming, or David Tennant having the snake tattoo added in make up for Good Omens.
