Yellow ink on pale skin

seannash

Hi,
So I was looking to get a particular design done on my forearm but when I made enquiries I was told that yellow ink wont show on pale skin and also that it will bleed very quickly so the lines wont look sharp anymore.

I have some writing on my body and so far it hasn't bled out so I'm a bit confused. Any advice would be appreciated

yellow is an appalling choice for any linework. regardless of skintone.

But what if its part of a design. Basically Im getting a transport system map on my forearm and the routes are all different colours, cant really change them

The yellow will go to ****, along with any other light colors used for linework.

I mean, if your heart is set on it, consider the inside of the upper arm - it gets almost no daylight, the colors will last better. But I still wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks, I was kinda set on it but if its gonna go to **** I won bother. The yellow line isnt exactly small so it would be noticeable. I appreciate the response though

Oh yeah, that will go to **** unfortunately. if it is possible to do it big enough to line either side of the colors, your fine. otherwise no joy.

A large part of my leg piece is yellow/orange, however it's quite big and my artist used black lines as a boarder let's say. Plus its on my leg so doesn't see much sunlight.
