There are a 100 tattoo colors that you can choose from when getting a tattoo but believe it or not some colors are better than others. The best color tattoo ink to go with is just simple old black. Black ink seems to hold up better and doesn't fade near as fast as color ink and an added plus is black ink tattoo most of the time is cheaper than color ink tattoos.
If black ink tattoos are not your thing and you want to add a little bit of color to your body with a color ink tattoo that is fine too. The best color ink that seems to hold up the best is blue ink. Both blue and black ink are the most stable of all the tattoo colors out there. The pigment being darker seems to help it maintain its color and brilliance longer than any other color. The two colors to stay away from are red and yellow. These two colors seem to fade the fastest and not look as good as it ages. Also a lot of people have reported having mild to serve allergic reactions to red tattoo ink. These people have had other tattoos and not had any problems with them. There just seems to be something about the red ink that doesn't sit well with people. So to be on the safe side stay away from red.
