Forum Discussion: Can Outlines be Done in Color Instead of Black?

MayaSapphira writes: "I have a question [about my tattoo]. It's a bracelet, built with two lines running from the central star design out around my wrist. I wanted to have one line purple and the other green. [The artist] told me that outlining with a colour (which is what the lines would be, really, I guess) is generally not done because the colour will probably fade and/or have a blowout."
