Red Tattoo Designs


Now, we already know a lot of different tattoo symbols that are done in red ink. These red tattoos are commonly red anyway. The rose tattoo, cardinal tattoo, fire tattoos, Phoenix tattoo, and heart tattoo is commonly known as red tattoos. We'll include such tattoo designs in this article because they're red anyway. Most importantly, I want to discover red tattoo designs that are not commonly red. For example, the yin yang tattoo is white and black. What about a red and black yin yang tattoo? That's different, or even a white and red yin yang tattoo. Get my point? I want you to think outside the box and see what we can come up with.

Two of the most common red tattoos are the heart tattoo and rose tattoo. Nothing wrong with those tattoos, I love them. See the tattoo picture on the right? This is a red swallow tattoo, devil even! Take away the devil part and you have a great red tattoo. The swallow tattoo is commonly inked in blue, white, yellow, green, and every color in between but red. Oh, now you get it. What's another example? What about a red cross? Crosses aren't commonly red, right? I have you thinking outside the box now, which is the point of this article.

Red tattoo designs can portray anything that we want. I want you to open your mind, this is a great way to come up with interesting tattoo designs that others will love. My articles are great for tattoo artist. Inspiration for tattoos can come from anywhere. Once we generate an idea, more ideas will flow in and the thinking process begins.

Red Tattoo Designs With Other Colors


As you can see, red tattoos can include other colors and if you were paying attention, you'll notice one color is portrayed with red the most. The color is black. Black and red work well with each other. Most red tattoos go with black or have black included within the tattoo. However, what about other colors, perhaps blue? Would blue work well with black. It all depends, if it is a light shade of blue, yes. If it is a dark shade of blue, probably not so much. Tattoo designs that portray a light shade and dark shade of ink mesh well. If you use two dark shades, look at the results. Yellow, orange, pink, red, and white all look great with black ink. If you use light blue, light green, or light purple, then these colors would work with black also.

Test different colored inks and see how they work with one another. This really helped me out, it will you as well. Remember, red tattoos can include different shades of red, light, dark, or medium. Work with other colors, different shades, and different combinations.

Red tattoo designs can include all different types of red inked tattoo symbols. The point, this article was published to help you think outside the box, to find a unique and interesting tattoo that you may wish to consider. I hope this article has helped you in some way. Remember, some of the best tattoos in the world have been created using techniques such as this. Don't hesitate to think outside the box.
