3. What are black and grey tattoos exactly? The clue is definitely in the name – they are tattoo designs completed with Black and Grey ink! White ink is often used to highlight sections of the design and is also used in order to smooth any sharp transition between the two shades. It’s common for Black and Grey designs to be created through various 3D effects and it goes without saying that, except for white ink, no other color is used (except specifically to accent a certain element such as the eyes or lips for example). On this point it is important to understand that the first choice you need to make when deciding on a tattoo is whether you will go Color or Black and Grey. Is one really better than the other? As long as you choose a high quality studio that is great at the style you choose, the answer is “no”! It really depends on your personal preference. Black & Grey Tattoos 3
