Small color pieces like flowers, birds and watercolor accents suit Nick and Kane, who each have more than 5 years of experience with small, detailed tattoos.
What we tattoo
- Watercolor splashes and soft color washes
- Flowers, birds, butterflies and animals
- Color realism and illustrative pieces
- Full color Japanese: koi, dragons, phoenixes
- Playful cartoon-style color pieces
Color and Vietnam's sun
Color ink, especially light shades and watercolor washes, fades faster in strong sun than black does. The sun in Vietnam is strong, so keep a fresh color tattoo covered while it heals, and use sunscreen on it once it has healed.
Skin tone changes how colors look. In the consultation we talk about how your chosen colors will look on your skin, and where a black outline or shading can help the design hold its shape.
