I have a colorful tattoo I'm having redone this weekend. What's the likelyhood that my tattoo artist will be able to cover the colors with black and gray (probably leaving some color showing through)? I'm of course going to talk to her about this, but I figured I'd ask on here in case anyone has experience with this. =]

Of course I am unable to view your tattoo but the complete concept of a black and gray tattoo is similar to black and "white" photography or the old black and "white" tattoos.
The gray shading creates depth, illusion of various colors, and highlights. This will be someone defeated in the presence of actual color. I am sure your artist will be able to tell you what is possible with your tattoo.

Black will cover any color, but gray will have a hard time covering the darker colors. Unless you go completely black, you will have some colors showing.
Why you asked this question of a bunch of Yahooians instead of your tat artist is beyond me.

Depending on what the tattoo is of, it can def be changed into black, but maybe the grey can be around the edges. also depends the colors you have...
