Las Vegas Tattoo Artist that Specializes with Dark Skin
If you’re looking for cool Vegas tattoos, Koolsville Tattoo is your ‘go-to’ expert for dark skin tattoos.
A tattoo is a powerful skin symbol that becomes an essential part of who you are. Dark skin with tattoos works well, provided you have a skilled tattoo artist who is experienced with dark skin.
No one type of tattoo ink will only work with dark skin. Each tattoo ink color provides vibrant pigmentation. Each skin type has a different outcome, which could be explained more in depth when you consult with an experienced artist.
Specialist Care for Dark Skin Tattoos:
Dark skin is softer than white skin. It’s also more prone to scarring than light skin types and more porous, which can blur delicate tattoo lines. White skin is tough and can withstand more intricate tattoo details. For these reasons, dark skin tattoos need an experienced professional who understands how to handle dark skin with tattoos.
Your chosen tattoo artist should be skilled enough to avoid scarification by ensuring the needles do not penetrate too deeply into the skin. At Koolsville Tattoo we will care for your skin with skill, patience and expertise.
Tips for dark skin with tattoos:
1. Ink on Dark Skin:
Tattoo ink sits beneath your skin rather than on top of it like paint. When tattoo dye is added under your natural color, the resulting blend combines the two tones. Black tattoo ink works well on dark skin because it perfectly complements the skin tone, making your dark skin tattoo seem like a natural part of you.
2. Simple, Bold and Graphic Designs:
Choose a design that is not too intricate. Simple, bold, and graphic designs will usually work best for dark skin with tattoos. Detailed patterns or images with lines set close together may blur on the skin, causing an effect that looks as if the ink is leaking out from the tattoo’s edges. Plan to leave ample skin space between your tattoo lines to create clear, defined boundaries.
3. Bright Colours Rock:
White and light-colored tattoo inks are fairly toxic to the human body and will not last very long beneath the skin. Your dark skin tattoo will also need touching up at regular intervals. Rather, use bold, bright colours such as dark reds and blues to create your super cool Vegas tattoo. Use a simple black ink base design and add the occasional striking color highlight for the best results.
4. Try Tribal Designs:
Tribal Polynesian islanders were some of the first people to hone the art of tattooing. Traditional Samoan, Tahitian or Tongan Island tattoo designs are considered the original dark skin tattoos.
Tribal tattoos follow organic patterns found in nature, such as the skin of a snake, the scales of a fish, the rays of the sun, or the natural patterns of water, wind, and clouds. They are clear, bold, and precise, leaving ample skin space between the lines. These designs always look great on dark skin with tattoos.
