What level is your natural hair

[angel-baby]

Wow your chest tattoo is gorgeous! I have a chest/collarbone tattoo that was poorly executed and I want to have covered up and this is giving me some great ideas!

Thanks!! Mine was actually a cover up, too. I can’t wait to see how yours goes, if you decide to go through with it!

Judging by the photos of level charts online, I would say my natural hair is maybe a 7-8? It really depends on the lighting. Those of you who are both smarter about these things and also have seen my hair (lots in my albums) might be able to say for sure.

Oh cool! And thanks! What size/area was the tattoo that you covered up, if you don't mind me asking? I'm going to try laser removal first but I doubt it'll work.

What a fun idea, Bat. I've dug up a few from before I used henna. I think I'm a level 5.

You're a 6. Your hair is beautiful.

I think a 6, I'll have to upload a pic!

I believe level 7 at nape, and level 8 from the crown. Ignoring the obvious lightest parts which are bleached, my natural hair is 2 toned. It looks much darker in my length photos as I rent a basement apartment and timing sunlight for hair photos is… impractical

I made a collage since my dark blonde is chameleon and reflects the light given. These photos top left to bottom right are: morning sun, midday sun, bathroom vanity light, cloudy morning light, and indoors with diffused sunlight through window.

I had 3 smaller tattoos I was covering. One was on my sternum, maybe about 2 inches by 2 inches, and done in pink ink so it faded a bit (I got it when I was 18 and did the coverup when I was 27 or 2 and was easy to cover. The other two were cherry blossom branches, about 3-4 inches long, and you can still see where they were if you look at my chest piece and look at the thicker branches just under my collar bones. Not super big, but weaving them into the tree and making it all look intentional and natural wasn't easy.
I've been told the general rule for cover ups is you always go bigger and darker, but I'm 100% not a tattoo artist so I can't say for sure!!

Wowwwwwww, your color is so pretty!!

I tend to think that I’m a 6 or 7…

The differences in the charts online have me confused, but I think I am a 4 with some 5 mixed in. I love seeing all your different colours and nuances, they're all beautiful!
