Color tattoos

Of course, it would be foolish to consider color tattoos as a separate style or direction of artistic tattooing.

Colored ink can be used to depict a conservative plot in an old school, a screaming picture in a trash polka, colorful splashes in watercolors, a terrifying canvas of biomechanics or organics, a realistic 3D portrait and much, much more.

Before choosing the most interesting photographs from the world's best masters, I would like to say a few words about the main features of color tattoos.

Firstly, based on the fact that the artist is forced to use a much larger number of colors, a color tattoo sometimes comes out more expensive than black and white. In practice, this is not very felt, since work is mainly estimated by time, and here the difference is rarely significant. In general, I would not pay much attention to this factor when choosing what to choose - black and white or color.

Secondly, it must be said about wear and tear color tattoos. In this parameter, they are much inferior to black and white. Polls have shown that most people from time to time are faced with fading, darkening, blurring of the contours and other unpleasant things that often relate to black and white tattoos.

Conclusion: black and white tattoos are somewhat more practical. However, this is not a reason to make an unambiguous choice in favor of BW. Yes, owners of colored tattoos will almost inevitably have to resort to small correction and "renewal" of their old work over time, to breathe new life into it. But there is nothing criminal in this, this process is not complicated and will not hit your pocket hard.

As a result, it is worth choosing - COLOR or BW only based on your own taste and personal preferences. Look at the photo and think about what is really close to you!
