White Ink Tattoos...

Wow, this is really cool....
 White ink tattoos do not follow the usual tattoo process of stenciling and outlining in black. Instead, the tattoo itself is completely done with white ink, leaving a ghostly image that looks quite different from a traditional tattoo. These tattoos can look like brands (or scarification), or they can appear to be very subtle. This can be a good alternative for someone who wants a tattoo but can't have obvious body art in their work environment. The white ink used for tattoos is not the same ink you might have seen used for mixing shades in a color tat. Instead, it is a thicker, high quality white ink that is specially made to stand out on its own.

  
 However! As I've researched these neat tattoos further there are some issues such as...

• Many people, especially those with darker skin tones, cannot absorb enough of the white ink for it to appear brightly on their skin.
• Some individuals may also find they have a reaction to the white ink. This is much more common than a reaction to black tattoo ink. In some cases, the white ink areas swell, itch and may even ooze from the tattoo. This can be a sign that your skin is actually rejecting the white ink, and you may end up with no tattoo in that area as a result.  
• Another issue with white tattoos is that they are not ideal for areas of the body that will be exposed to the sun and weather elements. Harsh household chemicals can also damage a white tat. White ink can turn quite dull if frequently exposed to the sun, so it's important to choose an area that will be covered when outdoors such as your chest, back or even the underside of your arm. White ink is not a good idea for hand tattoos or tats in other exposed places. 

 So think hard and Definitely get a PROFESSIONAL opinion (not your bffs cousins bro who does tats in his basement between shifts at the neighbor hood rib joint) before you invest in anything like this.
