Things to make with your tattoo designs coloring pages
Use a flash palette
Traditional flash uses a small set of bold colors: red, yellow, green and blue with black outlines. Color one design using only those four colors and leave some areas white for shine.
Fill the blank ribbon
The heart, swallows and anchor pages leave ribbons empty. Write a name, a date or a short word on the ribbon before you color it.
Design a matching pair
Choose two designs that go together, such as the anchor and the lighthouse or the moth and the lotus, and color them with the same palette so they look like a set.
Each picture is an individual vector PDF. Print on US Letter, or choose “Fit to page” for A4. Try one copy first to check the margins.
