How do you know which colors go together????
I get asked this all the time.

Honestly… almost every color can work together.

You just have to give the eye enough information to connect them visually.

At first glance, @eternalink Mocha and Dried Blood do NOT look like they belong together in the bottle 🤔

But once you build a sequence between them, suddenly they create this rich, earthy harmony that can add so much depth and balance to a tattoo.

Sometimes the weirdest color combinations end up being the most beautiful.

Or maybe it looks like haunted barbecue sauce. Who knows 😜🙈💩
