Anyssa Suprenant is a hairstylist and professional NFL cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins.

She shares many parts of her life, from her morning routine to behind-the-scenes moments from practice.

According to NFL cheer rules, tattoos or piercings are not allowed, therefore, cheerleaders are made to remove all jewelry and hide or cover tattoos with make-up.

In a video, the brunette detailed her "completely waterproof, smudge-proof, no transfer" routine to cover up tattoos on her arm.

At the start of the video, Suprenant wore a yellow strapless crop top as she began the lengthy process to make the tattoo on her right forearm invisible.

She first applied a base primer on her arm before she put on Stop the Sweat, $20, a clear liquid meant to "stop sweat and shine in its tracks," with a beauty blender.

"Use a sponge that you don't really care that much about or even like a cotton pad," the content creator said.

Next, the beauty tapped and brushed on Kryolan Professional Makeup TV Paint Stick, $27.80 in the shade FS26, for full coverage with a matte finish.

The product provided easy coverage almost immediately.

"Now that it's pretty much covered entirely, I'm gonna go in a little bit more on the sides a little bit," she demonstrated.

To set the makeup, she took a fluffy brush and brushed it along the sides of the covered area to "buff and blend."

"Pretty much seamless. Blends perfectly with my arm, with my color. Love that," she said as the video came to a close.

Many people were quick to share in the comments their fascination with the tip.

"They just need to get over the fact that some nurses, doctors, and in your case a pro cheerleader have tattoos. Tattoos are beautiful," one viewer commented.

"Why did this cover soo easily? Also soo satisfying," another added.

"The fact that you were able to do a cover-up that good without a color corrector or multiple layers of product is insane!! Note taken," a fan praised.

The three-step process was simple, quick and effective
