Black out tattoos have been growing in popularity over the last few years, with some people even getting full body suits in this style.


Black out tattoos are exactly what they sound like, large amounts of black ink as the subject, sometimes covering older existing tattoos.


Some black out tattoos also feature some geometric style work mixed in, or white ink over top of the black.


Many black out tattoo collectors do it in part for the experience of getting the tattoo, as a full blackout (especially as a coverup) can be very painful, creating an almost spiritual experience for the person getting tattooed.


Most artists who do black out tattoos specialize in it, as it’s not actually all that easy to make a full sleeve or torso look even in its blackness, especially when the piece is done in multiple sessions.
