Can I color a dove tattoo?

Question

So I've decided that I want a dove tattoo on my hip but I found out that the skin doesn't absorb white ink well. I want to color it but I want it to be very natural and delicate. Any educated suggesstions?

Answer 1

if u ever want to remove it itll be a lot harder and more painful if u color it in id go with a black outline and thats it

Answer 2

Mourning Dove Tattoo

Answer 3

My friend has a dove tattoo in memory of her father and hers is a black outline with white filling and very light and natural looking sky blue and yellow highlights.

Answer 4

A Doves natural color is shades of light brown.I think outlined in a very dark brown than shaded in with lighter drowns would be cool. get a color pic of a Mourning Dove and take it with you

Answer 5

a blue tint mixed in with the white should still allow it to look white. or you could just let your white skin be the white of the dove. good luck on your tattoo!!

Answer 6

If you color the tattoo it will no longer be a dove.

Answer 7

Does it have to be a Dove? if you want it to be coloured in why not go for a swallow Bird or something. They look great coloured in.

Answer 8

What about sky blue highlights?
