White Tattoos

More and more tattooists are getting requests for white ink tattoos, the tattooists we have spoken to have told us this .....

If you are going to get a tattoo with white ink, you should bear in mind that white ink is used almost exclusively for highlighting details, giving punctual light and underlining areas. It is not used to make designs with it.

White ink may only be applied to areas without ink, otherwise the adjacent fabric with ink of a different colour may "stain" the white and the tone as such may be lost.

White tattoos, once healed, remain skin-coloured... a point lighter than our skin tone, but not white, the white colour does not "catch", it does not remain in large proportions on the skin, not like black or blue can.

We have found it difficult to find before and after tattoos with white ink once they have healed..... that may be because many are almost completely erased.

White Ink Tattoo Healing Process

As we can see, the design is almost blurred as soon as it heals, it is almost imperceptible.

Therefore, if you are still determined to get a tattoo with white ink, you must have the account .....

The area where you are going to have it done should be flat so that it does not get "lost" with wrinkles or stretch marks.
Your skin tone should be neither extremely light, as it will not show through, nor too dark, as the white will not catch.
The designs should be minimalist, designs with clear and very clean lines that can be seen even if part of it has been erased during the healing process.
The professional who does the tattoo must be an experienced tattooist, they are not tattoos for beginners as the lines must be neat, otherwise they will not be well defined.

If your tattooist is too much in the lines because he doesn't see it...which is possible, it can cause the tattoo to become a keloid and that is not very professional.
