Does skin tone matter for tattoos?

Skin tone can impact tattoos in many ways. Light skin tones generally provide more contrast, allowing bright colors of the tattoo to show up well, making the design more vibrant and easier to see.

On the other hand, dark skin tones require adjustments in color and technique for the tattoo to achieve the desired effect. However, tattoos on darker skin tones tend to take longer to fade and age less compared to those on lighter skin tones.
