Found a great artist but her portfolio is only on pale skin. I am black. No tatts. Is tattooing different skin colors the same or should I look for someone with experience in dark skin and get a diff style? I’m wary bc she’s quoting me $1000 and it’s a very ornate tattoo

When it comes to tattoos, it’s important to find an artist who has experience working with your skin tone. While some artists may be skilled in tattooing on pale skin, it doesn’t necessarily mean they can work with darker skin tones. It’s always best to do your research and find an artist who has experience working with a variety of skin tones, especially if you’re looking for a more intricate design. Don’t be afraid to ask for examples of their work on darker skin tones before committing to a design. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to something as permanent as a tattoo.
