Mask is done. Open to suggestions for the snake and koi. Having a ridiculous hard time getting images to work. Just let people use attachments. Jeez.
My album also has pics of my sleeve that’s on the same side as this rib piece, in case that would matter for colors or whatever.

I bet your artist knows how they would like to see it coloured. Don’t you trust them?
Whether or not I trust my artist has nothing to do with color suggestions. I picked the colors for the mask. My artist lets me have input.
Does your artist just color your pieces in without telling you at all what colors he/she is using?

I have input with my tattoo artist. I make general suggestions and I let him run with it. I had only several things I really wanted. Anthurium flowers,(red) Fiddle leaf philodendron leaves,(green) a sewer manhole and a lobster grabbing my right nipple.(lobster color).
I just figured that he’s needled me for 136.5 hours. I usually find out what it looks like when he’s finished.
My only requirement is that nothing looks like a penis.

I always give my tattooists 100% artistic freedom they are the artist not me. If I didn’t trust them to do me right I wouldn’t have picked them in the first place.
Agreed. I don’t have any colour work personally. I’m far to pessimistic an individual to have bright colours all over me, but even with my black and grey work I give them a rough idea of what I want and then I sit back and wait to see the end result and I’ve always been happy because I trust the people I go to

They are artists and know about contrast, hue, and value. I don’t. If they ask me what colour I want, I tell them to do the piece the way that they would like to see it done. Sometimes at that point they tell me the direction they want to go, sometimes they just start pouring ink.
If there is something more specific I want (for example, a red rose) then that is what I ask for.
In your case, you don’t seem to have specific colours you want to use which is why I suggested letting the artist choose.

Right on. Seems to be the consensus here to let my dude pick. Like other people have said, he’s the artist, so he probably knows better than I do.
