Using colour in your tattoos can really add another dimension to your Realistic and Traditional tattoos and some tattoo styles like New School call for colour to make them what they are.
People often ask whether colour tattoos last. The short answer is yes they do provided the application is done well and they are looked after. Things like the sun and placement will always have an impact so tattoo aftercare does not end once your tattoo is healed. Keeping your skin moisturised will improve how it ages and therefore how your tattoo looks. Protecting your tattoo from the sun will prevent the pigment from being broken down and fading. Reach out to our tattoo studio in Birmingham to chat about your vision.
Meet Sheine, Lead Tattoo Artist and co-owner of Outliers Ink Tattoo Studio in Birmingham.
Sheine specialises in tattooing realism tattoo, fine line tattoo and blackwork tattoo and her belief is that great tattoos should be for everyone. She has a wealth of experience in tattooing black and brown skin tones, cover-ups and has created a space that everyone, and women in particular, feel confident and comfortable to be in.
She masters various other tattoo styles, including but not limited to colour, micro-realism and cyber sigilism and loves to collaborate with her clients to create unique custom pieces they can wear with pride.
Like with any tattoo, proper aftercare is an essential part of ensuring your tattoos heal how they should. At Outliers Ink, we provide personalised aftercare instructions following your tattoo appointment.
Have you tried our tattoo butter? 100% natural, made by us, for us. Pick one up in store or purchase one online.
If you follow the aftercare provided and get tattooed by an experienced artist at a reputable shop like Outliers Ink, then there is no reason why your colour tattoo won’t heal as good as your tattoos done with black ink. Your artist will go through the best ways to look after your new school tattoo to keep it looking bold for as long as you have it.
Absolutely and this question deserves its own section WE HAVE GOT YOU COVERED. When we talk about inclusivity this is exactly one of the key points that we know is sadly still massively underrepresented in the tattoo industry. At Outliers Ink we will take the time to work with your skin tone to find the coloured that will hold up the best and the boldest for years to come.
We are experts in tattooing all skin tones: black and brown skin in all shades. We constantly have clients who come to us who were told that the tattoo they wanted couldn’t be done on their skin tone. This includes colour tattoos on black skin. The thing is, your skin tone is not the issue, the artist’s skill set is. Like hair shops we believe you should be able to walk into a tattoo shop in Birmingham and receive the best work not just locally but in the country regardless of your age or skin tone.
So we created Outliers Ink, a tattoo and piercing studio that is the place for everyone to get their dream tattoo without worrying whether they will be told their skin will be an issue. Leave it to us. The home of the best Birmingham tattoo artists. Have you booked yours yet?
