A tattoo artist took a tattoo cover-up to a new level.

Sydney Smith of Syzygy Precision Tattooing in Scottsdale, Ariz., went viral for a video she shared on TikTok in June that shows her revamping an old tattoo for a client.

The original tattoo, which Smith specified was not done by her, reads, "I am because you were." However, the lines of the tattoo blurred over time, causing the ink to spread and the words to be difficult to read.

As seen in the clip, the tattoo artist gave the old ink a complete refresh by using a combination of tricks to give it a more crisp appearance.

The video has garnered over 4 million views on the social media platform and left viewers confused by how Smith was able to fix the aged ink. "Okay, you’re a magician," one person wrote.
