I got a tattoo a few months ago and the black outline sometimes looks like a dark purple/gray in certain lights.
Is this normal?

I do have pale skin, I guess that's it.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks. Would it be possible to "go over" the outline again, if needed?

no the paler the skin the better and true the ink will show. sorry but ur tat was probably done with cheap ink.

Yes, you can go over a tattoo and sometimes you can even get a better artist who can touch it up so well it will look better than it ever did, yes it is normal for many people to have their tattoos touched up. I have two and one of them needs a touch up and maybe something added to it to update it a little bit.

Black tends to show up as blue, purple, and on occasion an ashy grey, once the piece is healed.

probably has something to do with your skin tone...I am pretty fair and my black and grey work looks black and grey...I am not an expert...perhaps a tattoo artist will comment for you.

not really. it either means your ink didnt stay set in and you need to get it touched up or that the ink they used was acually purple?
