Why don't Afro-Americans get light-colored tattoos? Instead of Black

Caucasians get black inked tattoos and others then see a high contrast image from even a distance. Blacks get black inked tattoos that end up being low contrast or not viable from a distance.It seems the history of skin art is linked to a high-contrast effect. Otherwise people get them in hidden spots or very small.


Why would dark skinned people not choose a lighter colored ink to achieve the same high contrast look? Does the black on dark brown the only choice? Is a subtle look the new style or is there some tattoo inside scoop I don't get? If not then I ask...Should whites start getting cream colored ink to have the subtle image tattoo also?

Does anyone have specific knowledge to help this wayward thinker?
