Ah, that makes sense. I should've thought about that. Though, if it fits (I don't know much about the Japanese stuff), I think it would look pretty good with some red accents in the shading.
With Japanese artwork, the background is supposed to really be the contrast by using blacks and greys etc. The thing that my artist mentioned is that over time when you have tattoos with some black (outlining included) instead of just color it will hold up better over time
