White ink tattoos, although not a mainstream choice for a tattoo , appeals to many individuals who want to create something artistically innovative and like the idea of doing something different. In my opinion white tattoos can look absolutely stunning. They are a fantastic choice for people who want to make a statement without being too loud.
But unfortunately how white ink tattoos will turn out cannot be predetermined and even if is does turn out the way one intended, the chances that it will stay like that for years to come cannot be guaranteed. Lets take a look at the processes and some of the things you need to be mindful about before getting a white ink tattoo.
White Ink Tattoos – The Procedure
White ink tattoos cannot be done by all tattooists and many will turn you away because of the complications involved. The main complication is trying to maintain the purity of the white color.
There are three ways of inking. The first involves a stencil, and uses purple ink as a foundation. However if the purple mixes with the white, it will leave a permanent gray ink. The second involves drawing out blood with a needle, which is used to make the outline of the design but if the blood mixes with the white ink you will be left with a permanent pink tattoo. The third which is the most commonly used method for white ink tattoos is performing the tattoo completely free hand, without the use of any stencil or outline.
White Ink Tattoos – The Tattoo Artist

White ink tattoos is a very fine art form where there is no room for mistakes, and that’s why it is paramount you choose the right tattooist, who is experienced in white ink tattoos.
The right artist will be able to guide you on the nuances of color graduation when it comes to white ink tattoos. After judging your skin tone, they will advise on the best ‘kind’ of white tattoo for you.
Remember the color white also has many hues and tones and subtle color shades will need to be added such as very pale yellows, blues and pinks so that the tattoo does not look like a scar and works well on your skin tone.
White Ink Tattoos Placement
White ink tattoos are affected if continually exposed to the sun. So therefore choosing an area such as you face and hands is not an ideal. White ink tattoos can turn quite dull if frequently exposed to the sun so work best in areas of the bodies such as the torso, belly, back, thighs and even the underside of the arms that will generally be covered when outdoors.
White Ink Tattoos And Skin Reactions
The white ink used for white ink tattoos is not the same ink used to lighten shades in traditional color tattoos. Instead it is a thicker, high quality white ink that is specially made so that it can stand out by itself. The chances of incurring skin reactions from white ink tattoos is slightly higher than for a normal black ink tattoo. So please be mindful of that. If you have especially sensitive skin than its worth testing the ink on a small area of skin before your actual tattoo.
White Ink Tattoos And Fading
Just like normal tattoos after some time tend to fade, white ink tattoos will do the same. If you have very pale skin, when the white ink tattoo starts to fade it will not be visible, so keep in mind that more often than not, white ink tattoos will have to be retouched.
