Tattoo Redo is an Americanreality television series which premiered onNetflix on July 28, 2021.
Hosted by comedianJessimae Peluso,[1]Tattoo Redo features the horror stories behind botchedtattoos and the efforts of professional artists (Tommy Montoya,Miryam Lumpini, Rose Hardy,[2] Matt Beckerich, and Twig Sparks[3]) to executecover-ups.[4] The cover-up tattoos, co-designed by family members or loved ones, are kept secret from the subjects (via a screened partition) until the tattoo is completed.[5][6]
Upon its initial release,Tattoo Redo opened to mixed to positive reviews after debuting in Netflix's Top 10.[7] Lucy Mangan ofThe Guardian wrote "the whole thing is ridiculously charming...Tattoo Redo manages to sidestep the elephant traps and stay light, breezy and really rather endearing, even before you add the joy of watching people create something from nothing."[8] Daniel Hart ofReady Steady Cut called it "easy and cruel entertainment... the horrifying becomes even more horrifying, but from a reality TV perspective, it is glorious."[9] Martin Brown ofCommon Sense Media said "There's a little thrill that happens every time a bad tattoo gets revealed...otherwise,Tattoo Redo often feels like a missed opportunity."[10] Joel Keller ofDecider judged the show as "Stream It!" (inDecider's "Stream It or Skip It!" column) and deemed it "a fun makeover show that sets the right tone by making fun of the awful tattoos people get while celebrating the artists that do an expert job of covering them up."[11]
