Can I change the purple spots in my tattoo with orange tattoo ink?

More or less I'm wondering if orange will cover purple. If not, what colors will work. I have a blue and purple butterfly tattoo that I would like to be blue and orange now so I can add on to it.

Answer
A lighter color generally will not provide good coverage for a darker color. As the pigment settles the colors will sort of merge and darker color will still show through, perhaps just a little lighter, however mixing purple and orange could potentially give off a sort of brownish look.

So, pretty much no, a 'cover up' works best with a color that is darker than the original color.

What do you think about this new tattoo ink?

Company creates combustible tattoo ink

Having someone's name permanently etched into your flesh is considered by some to be the ultimate testament to a relationship. But wouldn't it be great to make that commitment without really making it ... forever?

A new dye due to hit tattoo parlors this fall will provide an exit strategy of sorts for people who have thought about getting a tattoo, then wondered if they might someday have regrets.

The permanent but removable ink is made by storing dye in microscopic capsules that will stay in the skin for good. But if that butterfly tattoo on the small of your back starts looking lame, it can be zapped away with a single laser treatment With each conventional laser treatment, the dye is broken down into fragments until they are small enough to be carried away by the bloodstream, usually into the lymph nodes.

Does this effect the art in general?

Answer
It sounds all great and stuff but is it safe? Anything that ends up in your bloodstream and in your lymph nodes doesn't seem safe to me. My grandfather had cancer of the lymph nodes and it traveled all through his body and he later died. I am all about some people having a change of heart about their tats but if you have any doubt... just don't get a tattoo. I have a beautiful tat on my back and I thought about it for a couple of years before I actually went to get it. The thing about tatoos is you have to get one that is significant to you. Not just some skull with flames cause you think it will look cool. Get something that means something to and you will have problem regretting it later.
