    Hey all, should I get my tat colored in? I got my sleeve done recently but I don't have current pictures, It's a very colorful mandala/buddha from deltoid to wrist, whatcha think?

    no i dont, speaking as a tattooist i do think that if you have it coloured in it will look too much, there is already alot to look at what with the eyes & the nose. if you were to get it coloured in, what colour/s were you thinking about? the colours you choose will determin how good the tattoo looks.

    I really like it how it is.. but if you color it in, I think a deep reddish maroony color would look cool. But, like someone else said, it might be too much. :D I love it, though. :)

    I personally only care for standard black ink - its not that I don't like color, I just wouldn't want it on me.

    I think most colors look cheesy on skin.

    The tattoo is nice already, adding color fuck it up.

    Its a nice tattoo, the only decision can be yours. Tattooing is very personal.


    peace & light
