What You Should Know Before Getting A White Tattoo

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, May 24, 2024

The first thing to note about white ink tattoos is that not every tattoo artist is qualified to do one. According to Chronic Ink Tattoo in Canada, white ink tattoos are much more difficult to create than the average design, due to the fact that the light coloring is harder to see, especially to the untrained eye. The ink is also thicker, making it more difficult to achieve clean lines (via Bustle). So if you're determined to get one, choose your artist carefully, and make sure they have experience and a portfolio with white ink.

Not every design works well with white ink. BrightSide reports that less complicated designs work better for white ink due to their subtlety, and super intricate tattoos might not work well with white ink as they might look blotchy or distorted. And although most tattoos raise the skin slightly because of scar tissue, white ink is notorious for making the raised skin appear more pronounced than the average tattoo due to the fact that it's easier to see the skin.
