A #09: Tribal Navel on Grapefruit 27/30
This was fun. I drew the design on the fruit with a pen (which is standard procedure now, since the stencil paper does NOT work on fruit surfaces or the wax they coat them with). I inked the outlines with black, using a 5 round needle and filled everything in with my brown ink. What was surprising was that even though I shook the ink before dropping it into the cap, it looks so light! If you look closely, you can see a few dots that I colored with the brown without outlines, and it's just a little bit darker than the skin of the fruit to begin with. I guess if you're looking for a tattoo color that wouldn't be noticeable from a distance, yet still has a unique feel to it, use brown.
