It's not like there's anyone else to see it.

Yeah, but would you want to see it in the mirror?

And this way they're all look slightly different, would you rather look like all the other versions you see in the pods, pictures and so on or would you keep the tattoos?

cover up with what? makeup? making makeup just to look oneself in the mirror seems pretty wasteful. I imagine once in a while he might try once to see what he would look like without them. But not for regular use

Usually cover up refers to masking a tattoo with another tattoo. There's a plethora of examples out there, largely driven by regretful breakups and reformed neo-nazis/prison gang members. Since he clearly has the tattoo gun to tattoo #24, he could have done himself at some point. I would probably prefer to not have a dick/balls and loser written on me.

My bad. I guess a coverup tattoo is probably not fun to do on yourself. and because he does not have to deal with anyone, it makes sense he doesn't give a fuck
