Colour tattoos

Custom colour work, with the palette chosen around the design and the skin it sits on.

What is a colour tattoo?

A colour tattoo uses pigments beyond black and grey to build the design, from a single accent colour to a full palette. The palette is chosen around both the design and the skin tone, because the same colour heals differently on different skin.

Good to know

  • Best placements: areas with a flat surface and good skin texture, such as the forearm, calf or shoulder.
  • Palette: colours are chosen around your skin tone, as the same pigment heals differently on different skin.
  • How it ages: colour fades fastest in the sun, so SPF 30+ matters, especially in Malta.
