Black and Grey Ink FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do a Black and Grey Tattoo age well?

Well, this is another fairly common question. I would say yes because the black color is the strongest of the entire tattoo color palette. That comes from the traditional tattoo since, without black ink, the tattoos do not have a strong contrast. Practically for traditional American artists, for a tattoo to be good, it needs to have enough black.

At the same time, black ink is the strongest over time and more resistant to the sun. For those who like to sunbathe and tan, the black and white tattoo will always stay looking good for much longer. Colored tattoos always deteriorate much faster from the sun. Light colors and all those cold or pastel tones, colors generally mixed with white and very subtle. Tend to shade easier with exposure to the sun.

On the other hand, the strong and intense ones are always more resistant to the weather and the passage of time. Also, the care you give it always makes a big difference. Aftercare like using a good sunscreen on the tattooed area or not exposing it to the sun for a long time would help. Especially if work is recent or during healing, it can make a big difference. During that time, the care of the tattoo is most important to obtain the best results that will last for a long time.

Are Black and Gray Tattoos more popular for guys?

Well, about this question, I would say that the black and gray tattoos for men, as for women, are pretty popular these days. I have seen these days a lot of women heavily black & gray inked: showing arm sleeves, leg sleeves, and even a whole back. So, in this case, I would not say that they are primarily a style of tattoos for men.

Is a Black and Grey Tattoo Cheaper than other tattoo styles?

I would say no, that this style of tattoo is not cheaper. Sometimes people tend to think that black and gray tattoos are faster to apply, so they should be more affordable. In reality, this is not necessarily the case. Since it all depends on how much detail and how complex the topic is getting done.

There are shadow tattoos that are much more complex and require much more elaboration and work than colors. Well, many styles and ideas can be made in different tattoo styles. So, in reality, if it is something more complex and has more details, it may be more expensive than one in simple colors. How long it will take for black and white or color is not the only factor determining whether it is more or less expensive.

For the Most Asked Questions is How much is a Black and Grey Tattoo?

These days, this is one of the most pretty common questions due to the significant local demand for this tattoo style in Fayetteville, NC. The first thing that I am going to recommend is not to rush and not go with the cheapest option as it always happens. It does not always happen, but generally, the quality will not be the best when the price is too low. So we recommend that you review the portfolio of the artists and make a consultation for an estimate with several of them in various tattoo shops.

It would be best to investigate more about artists than shops because the one who will do the work on your skin will be the artist. I tell you this because sometimes there are people who get carried away by store names and brands without reviewing artists’ work. And not necessarily because a store has a good brand name or is well known, it means that you will find the most suitable artist for your black and grey tattoo.

Regarding how much it can cost, it depends on size, body area to be tattooed, amount of details, and complexity of the composition. It happens very often that the first thing people ask is how much is a sleeve worth? So when they ask me this question. The first thing that comes to mind is, ok, but what size is it. Well, some people are short, and others are huge, for example.

So to give a more accurate estimate, the ideal is that you provide your artist of choice with as much information as possible. As the area you plan to get tattooed, we always recommended that you send him a photo if you can—the description of at least what elements you want. For example, suppose it is going to be portraits of animals. In that case, you should look for reference photos of the animals that you like.

When it comes to prices, they can vary a lot since there are so many artists from my experience of the many tattoo parlors that I have worked. I have seen that some artists charge a fixed price for the piece because they dedicate more to taking walk-ins. I have also seen others that charge an hourly rate. And others who charge for their time for a full day of work because they dedicate to doing a large custom tattoo of an exclusive type designed to suit the client. So to know more about the price we recommend you always make a consultation with the artist of your choice.
