How do you guys choose colours? I'm supposed to get my new ink coloured in January and I thought I had it all planned out, but I keep looking at it and wondering what will look OK with all the red/orange flames...but I just come up blank.

I really like the wings as they are and I often wonder if that will look OK left alone with the rest coloured...

I'm starting to think I'll just tell the artist to choose the colours on the day and surprise me. Easier for a procrastinator like me anyways Smile

Anyone else have problems choosing colours?

Use a color wheel to be sure you keep your main colors complimentry.

yes i get the same problem , i usually just say to my artist , do what you think / like , he has the best idea of what goes with what , and he always says " im going to do this bit green , is that cool ?? " so we kinda work it out as we go ...
