I’ve never gotten a tattoo, because I’m terrified I’ll regret it. I always ask myself, “would I still like this in 10 years?” So when I do get one, it will be a design or phrase that symbolizes something very important to me. When I came across this photo of a white ink tattoo, I knew that was the way to go for me. It’s subtle and pretty :)
How to get a tattoo in white ink
How I did it:
to have everyone in the tattoo shop tell you it's a bad idea. "no one will be able to see it", "it will yellow" etc.
both statements are true, however it still looks good.
i can't have visible tattoos because of my job, so the low profile of it works really well for me. the script i got on my wrist was for myself (ancora imparo - i have yet to learn), but most of the people i point it out to think it's an amazing idea.
i'm glad that i got this as my first tattoo. since then i've gotten 3 more, in color, and love them as well.
anyways if you want it, go for it!! besides it's only white ink... who's going to see it anyways ;P
Lessons & tips:
FYI:
white ink tattoos will take a bit longer than traditional color unless
they are being free-handed. the blue ink of the stencil needs to be
rinsed out of the needle every few strokes so the white won't get a
grayish tinge.

i think they look beautiful, and white ink is perfect for me because i want something subtle. i’ve always admired nicole richie’s angel wings tat on her back, and i’d like to get something of that sort :) still have to wait until i’m 18, though :/
let me know if anyone knows a great tattoo place in NYC :D
emo_crazed is going to fall in love soon! (i hope)
I think it would be so special to have that. My friend wants to find someone with pink or blue ink that is super cheap and lives near IN. If you know anyone, plz help out. THX
I didn’t give up so to speak more like changed my mind. I think it was a phase and I no longer want one, good thing I didn’t get one huh?
shlbylng is a rush of blood to the head.
I’m going to have to think about this one, but I would love to get a small white ink tattoo on the inside of my wrist – a cross. I think the white ink is much prettier than the dark – subtle, in a good way.
I am looking to get a all white ink tattoo on the inside of my wrist but every shop I go to refuses to do one. Does anyone know any shops in NJ or NYC that will do one?
I really want a white ink tattoo, I’ve picked out my design & such, but I am having trouble finding a place that will do it. I live in Boston, anyone have any ideas?
I just got it done two days ago on my inner wrist. It hurt more than my other tattoos but lasted only about 15 minutes, so it was alright. I still can’t tell yet because the ink they transfer onto your skin for a guide is still the only thing that is visible. I will report more once this blue ink disappears.
