Color tattooing on dark skin may prove more challenging, yet still achievable if you find an artist familiar with working on different shades of skin tone. To do so successfully, tattooing darker skin requires using bold lines that provide a striking contrast against its surface and choosing colors such as blue or purple that will fade soon. Lighter hues may become hidden by new layers of tissue as healing progresses, leading to overshadowed designs over time.
