COLOUR, DOTWORK TATTOO FAQ
01. WHAT IS A COLOUR TATTOO?
A COLOUR TATTOO USES COLOURED INKS TO CREATE ARTWORK, FROM SMALL, SIMPLE DESIGNS TO DETAILED ILLUSTRATIONS. AT TATTOO CLUB AMSTERDAM, WE WORK WITH COLOUR, CONTRAST AND COMPOSITION TO CREATE TATTOOS THAT SUIT YOUR DESIGN AND SKIN.
02. WHAT IS A DOTWORK TATTOO?
DOTWORK IS A TATTOO TECHNIQUE THAT USES SMALL DOTS TO CREATE PATTERNS, TEXTURES AND SHADING. IT WORKS PARTICULARLY WELL FOR GEOMETRIC DESIGNS, ORNAMENTS, BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATIONS AND DECORATIVE TATTOOS.
03. WHAT ARE ILLUSTRATIVE TATTOOS?
ILLUSTRATIVE TATTOOS ARE INSPIRED BY DRAWING, PAINTING AND GRAPHIC ART. THEY CAN BE PLAYFUL, REALISTIC, MINIMAL OR HIGHLY DETAILED. WE CAN WORK FROM YOUR OWN IDEA, A REFERENCE IMAGE OR A CUSTOM DRAWING.
04. DO COLOUR TATTOOS FADE FASTER THAN BLACK TATTOOS?
SOME COLOURS MAY FADE FASTER THAN BLACK INK, DEPENDING ON THE PIGMENT, PLACEMENT, SKIN AND SUN EXPOSURE. PROPER AFTERCARE AND SUN PROTECTION HELP KEEP YOUR TATTOO LOOKING ITS BEST.
05. DO COLOUR AND DOTWORK TATTOOS HURT MORE?
