Love this so much. I've always been fearful of color tattoos because no one really talks about what shades work on darker skin tones but this was amazing to watch

You look like her I love seein u guys in your natural hair

[@alexandriafranklin2119]

I really appreciate you guys doing this because I was wondering if the myriad of colors would even show up. But this gives me a better idea!

[@TahtahmesDiary]

So glad you all addressed this...its time to reclaim tattoos (and piercings)! Tired of all the videos of ink from a gatekept and colonized perspective!

[@littleMahika]

I'm quite a medium-dark tan so I'm really weary about how colour tattoos would fade on me when I get older. I don't wanna have to get them redone often.
Thank you for this helpful vid ✌✌
