Like Henry Ford said, ‘You can have it in any color you want, as long as it’s black.’ - Charlie Cartwright
As much as I love tattooing in full color, I always relish the opportunty to take on creative problems with stylistic constraits such as only utilizing black pigment or neutral monochromatic colortones… Sometimes I get to do some fun blackwork tattoos that also have a minimal splash of color to really make them POP and a few examples of that kind of work are hiding within this collection of photos. Enjoy!!!
