COLOUR TEST "One of the most commonly repeated myths about tattoos is that colorful ink doesn’t work on darker skin tones. What’s particularly enraging about this myth is how pervasive it is—far too many POC are turned away by tattoo artists because of the color of their skin. The myth that some colors won’t work on certain skin is exactly that, though. A good tattooer should be able to make their style work on anyone. But for POC—who lack representation in the tattoo industry—it can be hard to imagine what colorful designs will look like on their deeper skin tones. If you scroll through Instagram, you’ll see countless examples of color tattoos on pale skin, but you’ll have a far more difficult time finding examples of the same types of tattoos on black and brown skin tones. Colors present differently on various complexions, though, so how can people of color know which hues will work best on them? This is where tattoo color tests (also known as palette tests or swatch tests) come in. What is a color test? The short answer is that it’s exactly what it sounds like—a process used to “test a range of color inks on clients who want to see how the variations of colors and [ink] brands will heal on them,” according to Toronto-based artist Brittany Randell. To learn more, we spoke to Randell and Steph Mehlhaff, resident artist at Home Bodies Tattoo in Seattle, about tattoo color tests.
