Posted by Fallen Sparrow Tattoos Company on May 25th, 2017

People get a tattoo for different reasons. Some people get them for the art or as a memorial. Some get them as a way to express their personality and passion. And some get them just because they look pretty. No matter what your reasoning, tattoos are a personal thing and if people want one, they should just get one.

In a world where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, there is something poetic about the permanence of a tattoo. Tattoos are a huge commitment. They are beautiful. Tattoos are becoming much more prevalent in today’s society and they are a great way to express yourself. There are many things to consider when getting inked. One major decision you will have to make is whether you want a full color or black & grey realism tattoos. The most important thing to remember is to listen to your own gut instinct.

Black and grey tattoos go back centuries. They are the oldest forms of tattooing and were considered as luxuries back in those days. This ancient form of tattooing uses black ink to accentuate the natural skin tone. Some designs incorporate light colors, such as white or grey for more vivid effects. What is great about black and white tattoos is their resilience. Compared with colored tattoos, black ones do not fade as easily even when with frequent cleansing or damage by the sun. Although the fine lines and details of the design eventually fade, the overall appeal remains intact.

If you do decide to get a black and grey tattoo, there are a few things you should expect from your artist and the overall experience. Since black and grey only use one to two colors of ink, picking the right artist is very important. Color tattoos can hide imperfections and don’t need to be as detailed. The inks used in black and grey tattoos are black and sometimes white. The white is used when highlighting a specific part of the tattoo as well as for dramatic effect. For example, in portraits white ink is used to highlight the white of the eyes and the teeth.

Getting inked is an expression of your individuality. Adding tattoos to your body simply adds to the uniqueness of who you are. Tattooing is a celebration of individuality and creativity all displayed in the permanent fashion on the skin.
