Not everyone likes color tattoos and that makes them kind of special to me. They take extra time, extra care and they can cost more than black and gray pieces. Color ink has a completely different vibe and you might not have second thoughts about decorating your body with a beautiful palette.
Vivid Designs from a Sacramento Based Artist
Everyone deserves to have gorgeous body art that reflects their own personal style. Penguin is an artist who believes everyone can have color ink. She will take your skin tone and undertone in mind when choosing colors and give you some real expectations on how the colors may heal on you specifically and then give recommendations on a color palette that works for you. You are gorgeous and you deserve beautiful ink from a an artist who takes the time to research and understand color theory.
Here’s some ways you can keep your color tattoos as vibrant as possible:
- Stay out of the sun, keep covered
- Wear Sunblock every day
- Exfoliate and moisturize
- Get colorful pieces in places that get less UV rays (Inner arm, legs, calves)
- Get bold colors as opposed to pastels or light pigments
- Get touchups when needed






Beautiful tattoos can last a long time if properly cared for, but it’s important to consider the potential impact of various lifestyle factors. For instance, just a few trips to the equator without adequate sun protection can have a significant and detrimental effect on recently inked skin art. Therefore, it’s crucial to take the time to evaluate your lifestyle and make proactive plans to be diligent about skin care. By doing so, you can effectively protect your investment in stunning body art and ensure that it remains vibrant and beautiful for years to come.
