Tattoos have long ceased to be something for a few; one could almost say that today it is more difficult to find a young man without tattoos than one with a drawing on his skin.
Like any trend, it is constantly evolving, and one of the most innovative designs that can be found today is the white tattoo.
White ink has been around for a long time, and has always been used to highlight black or colored tattoos. But there are not a few who have decided to innovate and make a drawing using only that ink.
Thus, the tattoo becomes more discreet, almost as if it were a relief of the skin itself (reminiscent, perhaps, of Spanish cards). However, everything has its pros and cons and here we tell you about them.
Advantages of white tattoos
They are more discreet
Much more subtle than black or colored tattoos, white tattoos seem to be the preferred option for those looking for a more discreet drawing.
They are novel
There are still not many people who are encouraged to these new tattoos, so if you want to give your body art a different touch, here is a good idea.
Ideal to combine with others
Like this white dragon as opposed to the other, black one. Like yin and yang, white is always a good counterpoint.
excellent for brunettes
On dark skin, white tattoos look even better, and allow them to stand out completely from more traditional jobs.
Disadvantages of white tattoos
More delicate ink
White ink is a bit more delicate than black or color, because it has to be completely pure. If the tattooist mistakenly “dirties” the ink by mixing it only slightly with colored ink, the effect will be completely lost.
For this reason, although you should always get a tattoo with highly trusted professionals, when it comes to a white tattoo even more so.
They can be ruined
All tattoos can fade over time, for many reasons: the quality of the ink, lack of care, skin reactions, etc.
But being more delicate, white tattoos are more at risk. For example, careless exposure to the sun or a poorly healed wound can turn them yellow, losing their charm.
Therefore, they require more care than a traditional tattoo.
They don’t always look good
Some people claim that white tattoos sometimes look like skin blemishes, like a rash. That will depend on many things: the design, your skin color, care, etc.
Of course: even if everything works well, there may be people who still don’t like it… it’s still a matter of taste!
But the truth is that, beyond the disadvantages, they can be truly beautiful.
Would you dare to make one?
