I want that tattoo with the yellow roses

so is yellow realy not a good tattoo color

and if not would and yellow orange shade work

and finaly how much would i expect this tattoo to cost its just a lil bit under the size or a piece of printer paper

Answer 1

Yellow is fine. I have some yellow in some of my tattoos. I think it looks very pretty.

I would expect it to be at least $200 probably more. I have two medium sized guns on my stomach and they cost $350. It really depends on you artist though. Most artists base price around how detailed the tattoo is. This one does not look extremely detailed and it's not going to need a lot of filling which is good. However, it is quite large so I'd say anywhere from $200 - $300.

Answer 2

This is the 3rd time that you've put up a question about this tattoo. It is definitely time for you to hit the streets and get off of the computer.

Quite stalling checking this out with an actual tattoo artist. You will get much farther with your design and might even come up with something  better this way. You are picking at it, and asking us on here, and you just need to talk to someone who is real and in front of your face and who is looking at your idea. Let the tattoo artist answer all of this nitpicking, and work with him/her, let then draw up something from what you have already. It'll be more fluid and will work on skin and they will know the best ways to tweak this into a good tattoo. And they will tell you what isn't a good idea and what won't hold up well over time.

Go!  

Answer 3

I like the idea you have...but bring it in to the tattoo artists and get him to redraw it so it looks a little more "put together".

If you want the yellow roses, I'd choose a bright yellow (so it doesn't blend into the skin or look like a bruise or anything) and maybe get the artist to put an orange shadow behind it or something, if you know what I mean?

Sorry, no clue what it would cost.

Answer 4

Yellow is an excellent working color, and there are plenty of good yellows to choose from. That tattoo should run about $190 or around there. No need to go with an orange.

Answer 5

thats horrific.

Answer 6

Personally, i think the yellow and orange mix would look better, since yellow can fade and look, well...sick.

Answer 7

i have yellow and its fine

Answer 8

No, yellow can look good. What's important is that you have a good tattoo artist that knows how to make a background to make the color look right.

Answer 9

I'm not very sure of the price, but yellow on tattoos ends up fading. It will look good at first, but then it will usually end up making your skin just look like your skin color with a wierd yellow tint.

I think orange would be great, as long as you like the color and won't regret it.

Answer 10

light colors just dont look good on skin. i would say if its a darkish yellow, sure.. but not like bright yellow.. your skin would probably look discolored :]

i would day like dark colors... :]
