No Sure they can. However, the color may not show, or may show in grayscale. This is something you should definitely consult your artist with.

they are also prone to a condition called Keloiding, which is like extra scaring, so make sure the artist knows what they're doing, and have tattooed dark skin before. Yes: When it comes to adding Color to Darker Skin a more important factor is Skin under tones/ Tint, we must look beyond your skin's base color and also examine its undertones. A simple understanding of how the undertones changes the inks color and knowing the skins base tint enable us as artist to chose more complimentary colors instead of matching color tones therein; blue, red, yellow complexions. Color: "showing in grayscale colors" I never seen this from a properly applied color tattoo unless the color matchs the skin tones. Scaring: or Keloiding this is mostly caused from very bad tattooing, if you have very thin skin and a condition exist were your small cuts turn into large raised scars I would not recommend large tattoos. For a good example of Color in Dark Skin see my book Ink In The Hood, tattoos for Darker Skin, Dragon Randy Holder
