Summary:
Man on the Moon, use Kid cudi's album art for inspiration
Description:
Reminiscent of rapper Kid Cudi's first album cover art titled "Man on the Moon". Tattoo will be located on the side of my arm. I want the tattoo to be heavily shaded blk/wht with accents of orange and purple. Maybe sum dark thin clouds and small stars. It can be either done 2 ways have face located sort of like the cover art but with my face (lavender picture), or have just the moon with a guy(silhouette) sitting on top holding his knees looking up at the stars. I want the moon to have craters, and the tatoo to look different from the album.

heres a quote I found on line about tatting darker skin:
ask the tattooist if you can see photos of other African Americans that they tattooed. Darker skin takes a certain touch and must be handled differently than lighter colored skin. Dark skin can be easily overworked ao you will need to find an artsit that knows how to do it with out overworking.
When choosing colors for your tattoo stay away from lighter colors. You will want to use richer darker colors, i.e.; Black, Green, Dark Purple, Medium Purple, Dark Blue, Medium Blue, Brown, Red and in some intances Dark Orange. You will want to avoid Pink, Light Blue, Lavender or Violet, Light Orange, Yellow and White. Tattoo pigments are translucent which means that darker skin has an effect on how the color will look. I tattoo a lot of African Americans and I have no problems with medium tinted skin.

So would it be possible to see a photo of your skin color? (we can overlay the design to get an approximate look not exact but close..) And maybe ask a local tat artist what shades of purple and orange should be used.
