@kevlar1er I am glad that I wasn't the only one who acknowledged this. I fully respect the pros for their craft and meticulous mindset for making the most out of their work (via light skinned flesh), though It kind of urks me that this is the case. I hope that maybe there will be someone who will develop ink that'll transfer to darker skin just as brillantly as the modern inks that are used now for lighter skin. If anything, maybe that 'someone' should be myself. Hope springs eternal..

I know clients choose artists for their talents, but do tattooists choose their clients as well..? It seems the most representational work shown to the public eye are clients with the palest, transluscent skin it seems...I know color shows best on the very fair skin, yet I've never really seen much dark complected skin that's represented. One artist I've noticed this with is Mike Devries.
