Do you want to get a tattoo that is different from traditional ones? Well, white ink tattoos may be for you. A white ink tattoo is one that is solely inked with white pigment.
Before you go, let’s see how a traditional tattoo is performed so as to better understand performing a white tattoo.
When you are actually getting a tattoo, the steps are more or less the same for people. First, you communicate with your artist at the shop and pick out a design (though nowadays more people getting their own designs and creations).
Then comes the first step, outline. After a stencil is applied on your specified body, the artist now will outline tattoos with black ink. This is to give a general shape to create an image which then can be colored and shaded. However it is different in white tattoos now.
White ink tattoos generally do not follow the usual process of stenciling and outlining in black. Instead, the tattoo itself is completely done with white tattoo pigment using freehand leaving a ghostly image that looks quite different from a traditional one. This kind of white tattoos are usually look like scars or brands, and very subtle.
So this is really characteristic of a white ink tattoo, which makes it a good alternative for someone who wants a tattoo but can’t have obvious body art in their work environment.
The white pigment used for white ink tattoos is also different from what might have seen used for mixing shades in a color tattoo. Instead, it is a thicker, high quality white pigment that is specially made to stand out on its own.
