Tattoo ink comes in every color of the rainbow and can be custom mixed to match the sample you bring the artist. However, remember the color of your skin will change the color of the ink. The color matching of the ink can come close but usually there is no perfect match. Things to keep in mind when choosing colors:

White is the first color to revert to skin color if exposed to the sun. It should be reserved for small things like highlights, teeth and eyes.

Red is another color that will fade rather quickly- so if you are in the sun a lot you may want to skip red. Additionally, red is a color that not everyone can hold well. Before having a large amount of red put into you, first you might try a small amount and see how well you hold it.

Black is the hardiest of the colors. It stands up to sun and wear better than other colors- so if you are in the sun a lot you might opt for black.
