What Does Blackout Tattoo Mean

A blackout tattoo is a type of tattoo that utilizes black ink and a design that completely covers a significant area of skin with a solid black color. Typically, a blackout tattoo is used to create a complete or near-complete solid block of color, fading and blending into the natural skin tone either at the edges of the affected area, or within the internal shapes and outlines of the design. This style of tattoo is distinct from traditional tattooing, which typically focuses on using color to create an intricate and detailed design. Instead, blackout tattoos utilize the darkness of the color to create a seamless, abstract pattern.
