Black and white or coloured realistic tattoo?

Okay so I’m getting a realistic tattoo on my breast ( literally on my boob) of a cherub ( an angel that looks like a child or a baby, kind of like a Cupid ). beside the cherub it will say ” fly with me” . I’m hoping that I can find a good artist that can make it look as realistic as possible because alot of cherub tattoos that I’ve seen look weird ( the faces look weird ), but some look absolutely gorgeous. So I was wondering if I should get it in black and grey, in sepia ( brownish) , or colored?

It depends on both the design, the artist and your own personal preference.

I personally love black and grey. I don’t think I’ve seen very many nice sepia cherubs, and my problem with colored is that it can look cartoon-like or just not as nice as you thought it would, as color may show up differently on different skin tones and types. And for cherubs… I usually imagine a Valentine’s Day card when they’re in color. But I may just be biased. Some artists are truly amazing with realistic pieces though, especially with color.

The difference between black and grey vs color would be that the black and grey would give off a more… endless feel. Like historically beautiful? While color is more… lively or would stick out more. It’s like charcoal/graphite drawings vs paintings or color pencil. Which are you more drawn to? Once you pick that, focus on finding an artist whose style fits whichever you choose.

I suggest you look at their portfolio–it’s pretty clear if there’s a pattern for what type of tattoos a particular artist likes to do or is good at doing. If the style is similar to what you want, then you’ve found your artist. Or you can find a good artist, and base your decision on what color palette [black/white, sepia or color] on what style they do best. Or what THEY suggest. Tattoo artists are great in helping you come to decisions like these.
