Little White Ink TattoossteemCreated with Sketch.

White Ink Tattoos are some of the most beautiful ones out there—but they come with a catch. They’re very difficult to pull off well. That's why they get a lot of bad press. Some say that they look like a rash, that they will fade quickly.

Whitework specialists recommend this kind of tattoo for anyone with very pale skin, or anyone seeking a more transient and temporary tattoo effect. White ink is most effective when applied to a very pale person with a naturally low concentration of melanin. These limitations lead many tattooers to avoid working with white.

Since all tattoo ink gets injected below the skin’s melanin, white can only ever heal as light as the person’s natural skin tone. For this reason, it’s controversial in some circles because tattooers and customers alike have been disappointed by this outcome. Many people say white “fades,” “disappears,” or “gets tinted,” but in reality all of these effects are caused by the skin’s melanin preventing clear visibility of the tattoo.
