Valera Pashkov | Cover-up Tattoo Lisbon

I'm Valera Pashkov, a tattoo artist in Lisbon, Portugal, specializing in cover-up tattoos, Japanese tattoos, American Traditional, and custom tattoo design.

I believe every tattoo starts long before the needle touches the skin. Whether it's a cover-up or a new project, I focus on planning, composition, placement and long-term results—not just how a tattoo looks fresh, but how it will look after it heals.

Cover-ups are one of the most challenging areas of tattooing. They require strategy, experience and honest communication. That's why every cover-up I create begins with a consultation and a custom design built specifically for the existing tattoo.

Besides my core styles, I enjoy exploring different techniques and artistic approaches. Experimenting with new ideas helps me grow as an artist and often brings fresh solutions to my Japanese, Traditional and cover-up work.

If you're looking for an experienced cover-up tattoo artist in Lisbon or want a custom tattoo you'll still be proud of years from now, I'd be happy to help.
