I'm getting a very special job done but i have a problem im dark skinned and i dont know what colors to use if anyone could help with some suggestions
Email me and describe your project maybe I can help, think about what you are trying to create then describe it in e-mail...it's not so much what colors you can use but the way you will use the colors....did you do any searching and research like I suggested last time you posted? Donald
Yes, I did I was contacted by a Guy Named, John Paul Bonanno who wants to meet up with me so that he can see my arm. He stated that he wants to sit down and design something with my vision so it will fit my arm and also he wants it to be somthing that 5 years from now i will still like and can ad on to.I took his number so that we can schedual a date and time. Remember i want a full sleeve and he stated that he charges anywhere from $50-$100 dollars an hour. The work I want done is (Shoulder) a set of praying hands and the rest of the sleeve i want to be done in tribl but the most important thing is that Iwant some one to put a spin on it i want something uniqe. The soulder is a cover up but the rest of the arm is clean. My vision is to get my whole left side done as well as a full back project but for that i will save because i want the best of the best because it will involve my children.
The hourly rate sounds right...black ink will be sufficient to do the work you described, black is darker than brown so it's the obvious choice,,, color is possible with a skillful artisan.Follow your best instincts and do your homework..if theres anything I can help with e-mail...research the internet and look at other peoples tattoos..look for people your complexion or darker and see what works on them...take care
