For The Love Of Color! 53 Pantone Tattoo Ideas

Whether you have a color in mind, or you like the concept of a tattoo looking like a Pantone color swatch… these tattoos are dreamy.

Pros & Cons To Color Tattoos
What’s cool is that some of these aren’t even in color, but they really capture the energy of a devoted color lover.
But when you’re deciding if your tattoo or even collection of tattoos are going to keep the the classic black ink or go with color ink, there are a few factors to consider.
- Style cohesiveness. You want to make sure that even if you have some color and some black tattoos, that your pieces all look like they work together.
- Color fades faster. While black ink fades at the same rate, colored ink fades noticeably faster. Not a deal breaker entirely, but just a note.
- Stunning detail work. Some of the most amazing pieces I’ve seen have brilliant color work done, and it really makes the piece pop.
While none of these make or break the decision if you already know what you want when it comes to your tattoos, sometimes it’s just good to take notes on pros and cons!
Color is what makes the world go ’round, even when we don’t recognize it.
Life and art are on full display and effected by colors, and it surely effects our mind spaces and how we take in the world around us.
When spring hits and we see the greenery come to life and the colorful flowers bloom, when we find a top in our favorite color, when we come across a graphic online in a stunning color combination…
