Memories and images transformed into permanent pieces.
You will wear a work of art on your body
Un colored tattoo A well-executed tattoo is one of the most striking pieces of art a person can wear. Color expands the creative possibilities of any style—from realism to neo-traditional, including Japanese and watercolor—and demands a superior level of technique: mastery of mixing, saturation control, and knowledge of how each shade reacts on different skin tones. At Avantgarde Tattoo Barcelona, we have artists specializing in... colored tattoos who bring that technical mastery to the service of unique compositions.
En Avantgarde Tattoo We take care of every detail so that your design breathes balance, movement and symbolism, respecting the essence of traditional irezumi and adapting it to your identity.

Un colored tattoo It is any piece that incorporates colored pigments—beyond black and grays—in its composition. This ranges from a specific colored detail on a black base, even full-color compositions with complex palettes and multiple layers of ink.
Color is not a style in itself, but a technical dimension that can be applied to almost any tattoo styleWhat changes with color is the demand: each shade behaves differently on the skin, saturation depends on each person's skin tone, and durability varies according to the pigments used. That's why quality color tattoos are so important. They require artists with specific experience in the use of pigmentnot only in drawing.

What to consider before getting a color tattoo
- Skin tone matters: Color varies depending on skin tone. On dark skin, lighter tones are less visible, so a skilled artist must adapt their palette and technique to ensure the best results.
- The color requires more sessions: A color tattoo requires more time in the chair than a black and gray one. Building up the color in layers correctly is vital for achieving a long-lasting, high-quality finish.
- Sun protection is essential: The sun is the biggest enemy of color, as UV rays degrade pigments quickly. Using high-SPF sunscreen is essential if you want to prevent your color from fading in just a few months.

Our work process
You give us the idea
Tell us what motif represents you —an animal, a flower, a character, a composition you have been imagining for a long time—, on what part of the body you see it and what size you have in mind.
We create the sketch after the reservation.
Once we confirm the approach and the right artist, we'll create a custom sketch after you pay the deposit. For larger projects, we typically work in phases, adjusting the composition to perfectly suit your anatomy.
We'll give you a price.
We explain the total budget and how it is distributed across sessions.
We started tattooing
On the day of the appointment, we review the design with you, adjust small details if necessary, and begin tattooing in a booth prepared for long sessions.
Monitoring and care
We explain step by step how to care for your color tattoo during healing and offer online follow-up.
Color tattoo aftercare
The first few days are critical. Keep the area clean, moisturized with the products recommended by your artist, and out of direct sunlight. Don't pick at the scabs: on a color tattoo, removing a scab prematurely can take some of the pigment with it and leave areas without color. Follow your tattoo artist's instructions to the letter.
Once healed, the routine is simple but non-negotiable: high SPF sunscreen whenever you expose the tattoo to the sun and regular skin hydration. The colors most susceptible to fading are yellows, pinks, reds, and whites. With proper care, a well-executed color tattoo can maintain its vibrancy for many years. If you notice a loss of intensity in any area over time, a touch-up can restore its original vibrancy.
