Tattoos in Roman Military/Society

[Memmia]

i intend to use a bandage to cover my leg tattoo as it is quite large and modern, i will eventual have it removed but it is very expensive (and painful). what type of bandages would be used or most appropriate, linen?
also does anyone know of a theatre make up that is water/sweat proof that i could use to cover over it? skin tone something or other? ive elected for a tunica with sleeves to mask my arm tatoo and atleast if its seen its a tribal sun and was crudely rendered.

If it's a mainly black tattoo, use a white base first, then cover with a flesh coloured cover cream :wink:
