Black and gray tattoos are done without use of color but done with grayscale shading that involves multiple shades of gray. What gives dimension and depth is the smooth transition from darker to light shades that results in a beautiful black and white composition.

Colored tattoos are done with use of different ink colors. In order to achieve the proper shade and tone, the tattoo artist mixes up the colors taking the tattoo design into consideration. By mixing such colors like red, blue, green, yellow and brown it’s possible to create full dimension pieces of mind-blowing bold colors.

Small, simple tattoos are discreet, tasteful and elegant. But even though they are small, it doesn’t mean it can’t come in different styles in shapes. The good thing about small tattoos is that they are “flexible” which allows you to add more and more to it, eventually creating a bigger piece of special meaning.
