Color v. Black ink

There are many ways to express a tattoo. Many people like colored ink and others like black ink. But which of the two is better? Tattoos done with black ink are the most traditional forms of tattooing. For example, tattoos done in tribal associations in the southern Pacific islands like: Samoa, Tahiti, and other Polynesian islands. These types of tattoos are very unique and, when done by a professional, can be very intricately crafted. Other reasons people prefer black ink tattoos are that they can be less costly than colored tattoos. Black ink tattoos can be very beautiful, but colored tattoos have more impact visually.

Colored tattoos tend to stand out more and appeal to many more tattoo enthusiasts. Though colored tattoos take a little longer to craft, the end result is a powerful expression of an individual’s personality transformed into art. Adding color to a black ink tattoo can help the highlights and shaded areas standout much more. Black ink tattoos are more traditional, but adding color can make your art much more prominent.
