Well, your choice of ink color will show up well. All of the reading I've done suggests that those with dark skin tones should only get black ink.
A tattoo artist named Zulu said: “White will not show well on black skin at all. Certain colors such as white, yellow, and other light colors will not show well. Color in general does not look well on black skin, I have had cover ups on every color tattoo that I had. Color, over time, tends to look very muted on dark skin. I suggest to all my clients of color to consider black or "tribal" tattoos." (http://www.inkedblog.com/archives/2005/07/tattoos_and_skin_tone.html)
As far as the subject of your tattoo is concerned, I think it will be stunning. Arabic writing is beautiful ~ a work of art. Anyone who would make a negative comment about the subject of your tattoo is probably going to be someone who doesn't like tattoos. If you're truly concerned about negative backlash, get the tattoo in a place that isn't normally seen so that you can easily cover it.

Dont do it... tattoos on dark dark skin just look bad in my opinion... unless you are light skinned...
