    Here's the deal, I don't know a lot about tattoos, but am considering getting a very small one on the back of my neck. I originally wanted to get a red or black design, less than an inch in length, but have changed my mind to a tiny angel symbol I've designed instead.....the only problem with this is that I think it'd only look good in a bright colour. Can anybody tell me what colours are available when you get a tattoo? Is white or grey possible? Thanks :)

    any colour is possible but some last better than others,the pigment in black is the strongest so that will(should) last longest and hold shape etc...

    I have just aquired a white ink tatt and it seems to be holding up well!

    Alot of artists doint like working with tatts that dont have a black outline as the feel the ink will bleed too much and cause blurring.

    Ahh that's good news! I supposed I could go for a dark outline around the white. Cheers!

    a tattoo can be done in any color...for instance...a dark green outline with lighter green fill in. , a burgundy outline with red fill in... and so on....as long as the outline is 2 or 3 shades darker it'll hold.
    otherwise use black but be careful, sometimes it can be over powering with some delicate pieces.
