Tattooing over blue

[JTJTJT]

Hi guys does anyone know how feasible it is to tattoo red or orange over blue?

 

That artist who started my sleeve went rogue with the colour originally and I'm getting the whole thing finished/reworked in the UK I asked for orange to get a bit more of a traditional vibe going but this is what I've ended with so advice appreciated.

I don’t think that would work well. Although, that is a pretty light shade of blue so hopefully they can.

I think that'll just depend on how bright a color you are wanting to end up with.

I don't mind hugely to be honest. It sounds wierd but I quite like the slightly shitty looking colours in old traditional bodysuits

over that nice big blue peony? 

if you put red over blue i would expect you'd get a purple type of tone. orange over blue, you're getting a shitty brown. neither is going to offset the contrast on the redish koi fish (i think that's what it might be?) you got and lose the subject, in my opinion. I'm not a tattooer however. 

i'd accept the colour scheme and finish it anyway. or re-hit with a darker blue? i've had some tattoos where the colour had a different look/tone to it because of bordering contrast when everything was finished and healed. the colours will settle and get the aged look over time.

I would highlight it with another blue or purple to give it some depth. Then it will look a lot better.
