Tattoos in Color by Chris Jaeger

Color tattoos are a style of tattooing that uses a wide range of colored inks to create vibrant, eye-catching designs. Unlike black and grey tattoos, which rely solely on shading and contrast, color tattoos use hues and saturation to bring depth, emotion, and dimension to the artwork.
Key Characteristics:
• Full Spectrum of Ink: Includes primary, secondary, and custom-mixed colors.
• Bold and Bright: Often highly saturated for a vivid appearance.
• Layering Techniques: Artists build up colors in layers for richness and realism.
• Common Styles: Neo-traditional, new school, watercolor, Japanese, realism, and illustrative.
• Subject Matter: Anything from flowers and animals to surreal, fantasy, or cartoon-style art.
• Maintenance: May require touch-ups over time, especially lighter or pastel tones that fade faster.
Color tattoos are ideal for expressive, detailed, and dramatic pieces, and they allow the artist to play with contrast, mood, and storytelling through color.
