Before you book

What to know about tattoos on dark skin

Color that holds: tattoo on melanated skinBold color · brown skin
01

Color that holds

Great color on dark skin starts with your undertones, not just your skin tone. Ask which colors your artist would use on you, and look for color work on skin like yours in their portfolio.

Black & grey is a superpower: tattoo on melanated skinBlack & grey · dark skin
02

Black & grey is a superpower

High-contrast black and grey and blackwork look rich on melanated skin and age beautifully. If you want a piece that stays bold for years, this is where to start.

Contrast & open skin: tattoo on melanated skinContrast & Open Skin · dark skin
03

Contrast & open skin

Bold lines and room between them keep a design readable from across the room. Detail packed too tight blurs as the tattoo settles, so let your skin be part of the design.

Trust the artist: tattoo on melanated skinFine detail · brown skin
04

Trust the artist

The best sign is a portfolio full of work on skin like yours. Every artist on this page has that, and a great one will walk you through healing and what to expect after.

Michael did a great job!!! I am obsessed with how straight his lines are lol he was very personable and went above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable even to letting you pick the music playing. Will definitely be back for more work

Mike did a piece after my son was born and it is my absolute favorite tattoo on my body. It definitely has a special place in my heart and on my body! Mike killed it with a gentle touch!! I love showing it off and have gotten so many compliments. He even does touch ups when the color starts to fade. He makes me feel validated when I come to him with any concerns. Can’t wait for my next piece!!! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone

Everything was a 10/10 experience! Studio is very clean and comfortable. KC makes sure you have whatever you need and makes you feel welcome. Very diligent about sanitation. Work itself is amazing, really brought to life exactly what I was imagining. Worth every penny. Would definitely go back and definitely recommend to everyone!
