This was based on a biro sketch I drew upside down on my arm for my next tattoo check it out on my tumbler [link] Obviously if I do decide to get it tattooed it will be a lot simpler and I'll probs change my mind a hundered times about the colours. I already have a pentagram on my arm that I had done 7 years ago and the mermaids I tried to draw around it, and tried to make the most of the space on my arm. :heart:

Whats the best colours to have tattoo wise, I want something that wont fade 2 much over time. Any suggestions from those of you who have tats?
I hope you all like.

Green, purple, blue and white are the colors you want to stay away from. They don't go into the skin as easy, so for one it is harder to get them to stay during the actual tattooing process, then they fade hellishly fast.

this is what inspired my first deviation!! the end result is a little far removed form the original but I really like the colour scheme and the idea of a Gothic mermaid creature living at the bottom of the ocean...mine wouldn't work nearly as well as yours will for a tattoo though :)

The red's going to be a bit painful, and I don't know if you have different artists where you live, but where I am most of the tattoo artists refuse to use white because the body rejects it so easily. Black is the most non-fadey that I know of though.

apparently white goes yellow when it fades

Stay away from whites, flesh tones, and warm colors. xD They fade a lot faster than the cooler colors.

My tattoo is black and different shades of green. :3
