Before you Tattoo - Reasons to Consider Tattoo Colors  Choosing the colors for your tattoo is a fun part of the tattoo experience. But for more than one reason, you should choose tattoo design colors with care. Here are a few reasons why it is important to give serious consideration to the colors you choose before you tattoo.
First, tattoo colors will affect the effect your tattoo will have on people (you included). Second, some colors have greater health risks associated than others, and could cause moderate to severe skin reactions -- including allergies, rashes or hives. Third, if you decide in the future to go the tattoo removal route (and half those who get tattoos do), some colors make tattoo removal a lot easier than it would be otherwise. And the fourth, your tattoo colors will determine the tattoo removal method needed to zap that tatt off your ankle, arm, or wherever. First, tattoo colors impact how others view your tattoo. The reason for this is colors are attached to human emotions. For instance, red is excitement and anger, green is considered calming, serenity, and maybe a touch of envy. Blue is calm but can be melancholy, too. A tattooed dragon red with excitement and danger is a much different dragon than one yellow with good cheer and happiness. While single colors carry a punch, various color combinations too have differing effects on emotions and perception. Many books have been written on how to combine colors, some of which consist entirely of hundreds of various color combinations that work well together. |
