Colour is rare on skinMost tattoo work, permanent and temporary, is black or close to it. There is a reason, and it makes a full-colour design more striking than people realise.Skin is not a neutral background. It has its own warmth, and every colour laid on it has to negotiate with that. Black never has to: it is darker than any skin, so the contrast holds regardless.Colour has to be chosen to work with the ground rather than against it, which is why a design that pulls it off reads as deliberate rather than decorative.Daylight is where it livesMulticoloured work looks its best outdoors and in daylight, where the full range separates. Warm indoor bulbs flatten it and push everything toward amber.Wear it out rather than in.The designA wolf in mixed saturated colour, the boldest treatment in our tattoo range and the one that photographs best. Phone cameras compress heavily and lose subtle tonal work first; strong colour survives that intact.The tattoo9.8 x 6 cm, compact and upright, so it suits a forearm, shoulder, hip or ankle.See the wolf temporary tattoo range and our tattoo guide.Free worldwide shipping, 7 to 12 business days. 30 day returns.
