25 Color Tattoos That'll Make You Want To Get One

Tattoos may have been a practice since Neolithic times, but it's only recently that they've become ultra-trendy, thanks to the rise of teeny, tiny tattoos and more relaxed work environments. The biggest tattoo trend right now: color tattoos, whether the piece is in American traditional, realism, portraiture, or illustrative style. While I've always been afraid to stray from black and white, I think it's time to take the plunge.

Minimalistic, singe line, and double exposure tattoos are just a few of the biggest tattoo trends of 2016 according to Inked Mag. Tiny little flowers, trees, and line work have been all the rage lately, and are generally more accepted at most work places. And while black and white tattoos are the classic, there's nothing like a bright, vibrant piece that totally livens up anything you wear. That's the best thing about tattoos: they're the permanent accessory that just keeps on giving.

Something about colorful tattoos draw me in so much more. A flat image gains so much more depth. Fiery red, deep blues, bright yellows, and grassy greens all paint a picture that gives off more life. They're certainly way more noticeable, so they're not for the faint of heart. But if you've ever thought of straying away from the classic, American traditional is the style that really compliments it.

Afraid to take the risk? These colorful tattoos will certainly change your mind.
