BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Body Art White Tattoos

Does anyone have any info? I've searched the net and found conflicting information. Some say its the regular white ink that is used and then another site says although it is a white ink the consistency is different.

Are there any questions I should ask the artist that are different from regualar tattoos?

I've seen it on a few people and love the way it looks for small delicate patterns or words.

Thanks

White ink is pretty much like all the other colors of tattoo ink, but it does seem a tad more opaque. Please note it is one of the colors that fades the fastest over time and which can be damaged by sunburning quite easily. I've known folks who've burnt white ink right out of their artwork with just one or two sunburns. Also, depending on the color of your skin, sometimes white tattoos don't show up very well or don't look all that white.

Don't they look a bit like pretty scars?

I've known quite a few folks who were disappointed at just how subtle their white tattoos turned out to be, with the end results only visible after they went hot-tubbing or something similar.
