I am getting a transformers tattoo this summer. I just got my sex bob-omb tat on my back and its time to get my true love.

Question 1- Do colors show up well on black skin (brown skin..im black...yeah)?

Question 2- G2 starscream in Jet mode or robot mode above my heart is my first idea but I am worried about the colors showing up, thoughts?

Question 3- Possibly Megatron (G1) in gun alt mode on my upper right back shoulder, thoughts?

Question 4- Debating maybe Turbofire but worried about the colors....also like cybertron Scourge (dragon)...thoughts?

Thank you for reading, double thank you for responding

If anyone has really clear quality images of these transformers you can post that would be boss too. I have had a really hard time finding a large clear image of G2 starscream in either mode (box art/ drawing, not toy pic).

TurbofireJames- It really depends on how dark your skin tone is. If you are dark then color will not show well on your skin if at all. You will be better off with a just an outline. But in the end it's ultimately your decision just make sure you trust the person doing the tattoo and good luck. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'd suggest getting a transformers faction symbol as those transfer great into body tatoo's.

getting TF character tatoo's might be a bit hard & exspensive to transfer to a tatoo on the body. because depending on the TF character. it might needs lots of colors of require a skilled tatoo artist to capture all the TF characters design in decent detail.
