Magenta, purples, greens, reds, some darker blues. Stay away from yellows, whites, and pale colours like light or flouro pink.
The way colours work is like looking through tinted car windows, The car seat might be white but once the window is closed up its not white anymore when you look at it.

If you have a dark complexion, you would want to go with more blacks and greys. Color tattoos don't really show up well on darker skinned people. You can get some color, but make sure they'll go with your skin tone. If you need some advice, ask your tattoo artist, because they should know what'll show up best. If you do get colors but can't decide, you can also research the meanings of some colors.

well black of course, deep colors like deep purples and greens. red colors will change on your skin so the tattoo artist will have to use a little bit darker red on you. really you just have to go to the right tattoo artist who can match up the color or your skin to the colors that he uses for the tattoo.

personally, I like just black ink. But I've seen greens and oranges on similar complexion that looks hot. I think it's best to ask the tattoo artist, too, cause they've seen everything, ya kno?
Good Luck :)

Yeah, it looks red but after it heals the pink will be pink. Although my red looks alittle on the pink side. Let's just hope your tat artist is a good one.

use blues and reds and white to lighten the area slightly, then you can add yellows and greens. Almost any color. I have every color in my tattoos!!!

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT TATTOOS?
by Betty Miller
The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
I know some will have a hard time receiving this teaching because tattooing has now become an accepted practice in our society. However, just because society approves of something does not make it right in God's eyes. Our society at large, also approves of abortion and divorce as well. However, the Bible makes it clear that God doesn't approve of these things.
