I've got an 12 year old white tattoo. It's still visible and I love it. Looks cute.

Can dark skinned people get white tattoos? You know, so it would be more visible.

first tattoo that I find visually pleasing. Nice aesthetic, not obtrusive.

I like it too... Question, does getting a sun burn or deep tan make it stand out more?

If the white stays white like that, this could be really cool for bigger patterns that cover more of the body. Like a black on black patterned fabric. Just don't tan.

Pride in an organization with a long history of paying bounties to intentionally injure people and helping the Catholic Church cover up repeated molestations of children. What a great thing to be proud of!

I once asked my hairdresser about the craziest experience he's had on the job. He said the most surprising was when he was washing a woman's hair before the cut, and most of her hair started coming out in clumps. There was still a little hair left so he cut and styled it for her.

You have any stories like that, but as a tattoo artist?

Not so crazy but we all have a few weird shit that happen. Once I wrote a name in an old lady’s “forehead” pussy. She was fat so she didn’t see the stencil directly, she looked in the mirror while holding her belly up to see where it was going to be. Another one was when I put the stencil in this dude’s arm and he passed out… lotta weird shit along the years…

That just might be the whitest thing I've seen in a while as a matter of fact.

I’m from Louisiana. I was living in Japan at the time and… (“homesick” isn’t quite the right word. I would never ever want to live there again. Anyways…) I wanted something to remind me of my roots. I had a tattoo artist want to try a white tattoo on a white person and I was down to clown. I’m not trying to celebrate any kinds of molestation or injuring folks.

It’s Reddit. I think being a dick is a prerequisite. The white tattoo was an idea by my artist when I lived in Japan. She wanted to try a white tattoo on a white person, and I was happy to oblige. My other arm is covered and I like it when people bring up/notice my white tattoo before any of the crazy stuff.

It depends on the person, but some colors get "lost" as they're viewed through the layers of darker skin. Black allows for more lasting contrast on dark brown skin.

As far as not seeing the tattoo, sometimes it's just a case of crappy artistry. (Where black is not clear bc the ink isn't properly applied/the skin is oversaturated and damaged)

I do admit I always say I'd look like a coloring book of I had very pale skin though! (As I would opt for really vibrant full color tattoos) anyhoo be well

Incorrect. Acadians were thrown out of Nova Scotia. Acadia is now just a town just outside of Yarmouth, NS, but the entirety of Nova Scotia was known as Acadia peninsula back when the Acadians were expelled.

There is a monument called "la butte de la croix" in a small lobstering village called wedgeport that is in memory of the first return of Acadians after the expulsion.

Acadie is in New Brunswick, the french remnants in the us in louisania are the cajuns, there were part of the french empire back in the day, this is why the capital of louisinia (is it the capital i dunno) is called Baton-Rouge

I think it’s interesting. So many on here are trying to make it racial and can’t quite figure out how to do it. So they lose.

Since lasers work on dark pigment to remove them, it is not possible get a white tattoo remove?

Replying to sillahillone (#1,177,951)

there is no guarantee for that. it will look yellow on some people but not all. Sun exposure is also a big thing that can make it look more yellow.

I got white ink in 2015 and it still looks white and clearly read-able. Like OP's- No yellowing.

Replying to mgd09292007 (#1,192,780)

probably not. maybe if there was a laser that targeted light pigments instead of dark? But then I assume you would be pretty burned up yourself lol. This why laser hair treatment is less effective on blonde hairs as well. and you can't really do laser hair removals over tattoos - without also risking the tattoo.

There are some small Acadian towns still in Nova Scotia, Chéticamp is one, you see the Acadian flag raised around the town. Shediac, New Brunswick as well. It's an interesting accent and dialect of French.

This looks like a tan line.why not just cut out a design from opaque medium like silicone,card stock ,or cardboard,affix to body with spirit glue,then go outside and sunbathe for a few hours.pull off design from body,and voila!you have a cheap construction workers tan tattoo.

Nice a friend of mine has a QR code in white on his palm. It wears off pretty fast so he gets it re-done every couple of months. It is a rickroll QR code.

Your comments are two separate incidents. One is done inside the organization and was done by others every where in the past. Coach's comments about rodger sent him over the edge to go after the saints organization still hasn't fixed the bounty system that's still in place you can see it every Sunday. Then your talking about the saints owner who is rich and donated to the church.

It won’t. I don’t know many tattooers that would advise a white tattoo. They rarely look good and they never age well.

However, if you want a tattoo but don’t really want any details to be visible for whatever reason then to each their own I guess.

It’s typical for white ink on pale skin. The white in mine was only a small portion, and isn’t noticeable because of how pale my chest is and where the white is. 13 years later; I’m more concerned with touching up the black parts of it.
