Ok so this is going to be my first tattoo. It is going to be a astronaut as seen in this photo here… http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/66/BrandNew_SicTransitGloria.jpg. I was thinking wether to get it in Black and gray or somehow make a dirty white. I am also getting stars do around it done in UV invisible ink because eventually my entire right arm is going to be done in a space themed sleeve. So if i go with the dirty white idea for the astronaut suit how would i go about making that color. I ask because i am having a tattoo place do the tattoo but i want to use Skin Candy tattoo ink because i have read amazing things about it so i need to know what colors to buy and bring with me in 2 weeks. Thanks so much for the help and i will post the link to who is doing my tattoo to see what you guys think since this will be my first tattoo ever like i said.

By the way i forgot to add this will be on my forearm. It is going to be rather large and like i said eventualy all around it will be a space themed sleeve.

White is a pretty crappy colour to use, it fades fast and turns yellow. It would end up looking a lot better if it was shaded black and your natural skin colour was the white (assuming you’re a white dude).
Does the artist know you’re bringing your own inks in?

Yes he does because i asked if he had any uv ink and he said no but you can buy some and bring it in and i will do that, So i said ok i will find colors i like and bring them in for it. I figured i should go with black and grey…. Here is a picture of someone i found on the internet that has it what colors are used in this? I like the way it looks alot. http://www.tattooartists.org/Images/FullSize/000086000/Img86893_astronaut.jpg

Dark orange and black. They may have used white too, I can’t really tell.

Yea thats what i thought to. See i am just getting the astronaut not the orange around it, but there does appear to be some orange in the astronaut also. I guess i could bring it in and ask his opnion also its just like 20 mins from me and im lazy haha. I appreciate your help i think it is gonna wind up being black, grey and maybe some dark orange especialy for the line in the helmut. Looks like that picture to me i belive.

I would go with black and grey for that piece personally.
