In the last 50 years of tattooing one thing has changed dramatically—the number of different colors of ink. You can now find tattoo ink in every single color you can name, and probably a few that you can’t. But guess what? You don’t need any of those fancy shmancy colors to make a good tattoo. Follow the advice of the Rolling Stones and just paint it black, if you will. So much can be done with just the one color, the possibilities are seemingly endless. To see what we are talking about scroll through the gallery of Blackwork Tattoos below. Enjoy.
