White ink tattoos

   

White ink tattoos are done in white ink only and they have no other special meanings. As you may or may not know, it is hard to get white ink to stick to the skin. Not only that, white ink tends to fade a lot quicker then colored ink. You can get any symbol or design you wish done in white ink.


White tattoo ink is a combination of a pigment and a carrier. Titanium dioxide, lead carbonate, anatase or rutile are all possible ingredients of white tattoo ink. The carrier solution in the white tattoo ink aids in even distribution and application of the pigment and also disinfects the pigment. Ingredients of tattoo ink are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and tattoo ink suppliers are not required to list the ingredients on the bottle.


As the name suggests, white ink tattoos are those which are made in white color. These kinds of tattoos are the best choices for people who want to set a unique example among other tattoo wearers. Since these are designs are white in color, a white ink tattoo on dark skin would normally look attractive. This does not mean that people with white skin can not sport these tattoos. Some believe that these look more beautiful only on fair skin types. It is only that the tattoos would not be much evident from a distance. So, if you are wanting to get such a tattoo done, white ink tattoo artists would mainly concentrate on the natural coloration of your skin to make sure that the design looks attractive. These white tattoos also come with a thick ink, as a result the design may look raised on the skin.
