So guys, I have no Tattoos, but always wanted to get one. The thing here is that I have some doubts that maybe you can clarify.
Can you get a white tattoo? It's something common? It looks good? There's anything I should know about?
You all seem to have experience in this so maybe you can help me.

This depends on what you are looking for. There are two kinds of white inks for tattoos: white ink used for mixing and highlighting regular tattoos and white ink made specifically for a white only tattoo. I recommend reading this: https://tattoos.lovetoknow.com/White_Ink_Tattoos

If you're referring to normal white ink, you have to understand a bit about how tattooing works. Tattoos are different from most art because the pigment does beneath the substrate instead of on top. For that reason, only pigment that is darker than the translucent shade of the skin will show up clearly. In my tattoos, white has been used as a mixer and as a highlighter, but without the surrounding pigments and designs, it wouldn't be very noticeable. The simple answer to your question is no, normal white ink won't look like you've painted white on your skin.

Take a look at the article I linked about white ink tattoos and see if that answers any more of your questions about them.

Update to my tattoo: I'm 90% healed on the last session of my sleeve and I am loving it. I'm already thinking about the next thing I want, so I think I'll have to temper myself a bit.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of my avatar on my face or butt. Like covering my entire face. Anyone? Also, instead of having :neverusethis: what about having :burns: tattooed somewhere on your body

Thanks, man. That answers some of my questions.
I will research more about this. If can't be done I will do it with regular ink.
I just wanted to do a tiny Dark Side of the Moon kind of thing, with the white ink being the light beam and the edges of the prism.

If you have light skin, that can be done with shading around your skin, which is the "white" part. Do an image search for "Dark Side of the Moon tattoo" and see a bunch of examples of how people have done it.

I have not the lightest of skins. But I thought about doing it like that just that may be better with white.

New tat! And updated my first tat because it got scrubbed on accident a bit when it was first healing.

Please do not mind my man boobs, if you do, they will give you a boner and/or get you soaked. They do in fact lactate. I get that question a lot. Also, for 20 bucks shaved off my bill, I let the tattoo artist, who is bi an has a crush on me, shave my entire chest, which is why I look like a fairy boy. Fun facts of life. GOOD STUFF!! (IT WAS COLD IN MY BATHROOM SHUT UP, ALSO YOU ALL MAKE ME HORNY)







For anyone bored:
The red satanic looking symbol is called a curse brand. I'm not badass enough to get an actual brand so I thought I'd get a tattoo that is meant to look like a brand, I thought it came out pretty good but am still getting it worked on and am gonna go back in a few weeks to get some more background work done. To me, it represents the tenacity of humans and the will of resolve.

The second militaristic symbol is called the wings of freedom and is pretty simple. To fight for one's freedom and to not be suppressed by anyone or anything, governing body, religion, a person or thing...nothing.

They are both from manga. While the manga themselves inspired them, they're not necessarily 'because of the manga'. I do love each respective's manga, but it's more the idea behind them that I fell in love with. But yes...I AM NERD INCARNATE. ACCEPT ME OR NOT!!

I hope you guys weren't eating while reading this.  :biggrin: :-*

Uber bump....



Got ink no. 3 today, and am beyond pleased with it...



It's a bit shiny cause of the ointment and shit, I'll post another pic in a few days. Totally in love with it though.

That is pretty sweet! I've always been a fan of that style of tat....the 3D peering through flesh type. It looks like a Galaxy swirling around in space....very neat!

Gorgeous. What was the inspiration for it?  Also, I assume left inner thigh/knee is the location?

I'll get my 3rd sometime in the next couple of years, and when I do, it'll be an original piece by jingle.son (the art, not the actual tattoo'g)

That looks very cool!

About six months ago, I made a new one myself. It's a bit hard to take a photo of though, so here's a part of it:



It's the piano DNA string that's the new one. It starts on the shoulder and goes all the way down to the arm and stops just where the above the hand. :)

Ahhh... I see it now.  I thought maybe the centre of the 'system' was your knee cap - optical illusion as it looked like there was a slight bend going on there.
