Tattoo Cover-Up: DCC Star's Secret Revealed

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Emily Awbrey has shared her precise technique for covering a visible hand tattoo, a requirement dictated by the team's stringent appearance guidelines. The official Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders website stipulates that while tryouts are permitted with tattoos, all ink must be completely concealed during performances and rehearsals.

In a recent Instagram video, Awbrey detailed her multi-step process. She begins by applying Dermablend leg and body makeup, followed by a loose setting powder. To ensure coverage, she layers additional foundation and powder, sometimes using a slightly darker shade to match her skin tone after a spray tan. She noted the challenge of keeping the makeup intact due to hand movements during routines.

Awbrey also shared a 'secret' about her finger tattoo, mentioning that pom-poms often provide natural coverage. She acknowledged the difficulty in achieving a perfect, seamless look, stating that the makeup is applied to 'get the job done.' The routine concludes with multiple layers of setting spray for durability.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders enforce strict rules, originally established in 1972 and further developed under director Suzanne Mitchell from 1976 to 1989. Current director Kelli Finglass maintains these high standards, emphasizing the elite nature of the squad and the custom-tailored uniforms.
