Hey,

I know they're controversial, and im aware of the issues but I want an all white tattoo. Having problems finding someone who does them and has the right kind of white ink for it, and was wondering if anybody knew of an artist in the midlands area, im based in nottingham.

Thanks!
Kirsty

i'm not an expert, so you'd really need to speak to an artist before you get it done, but large amounts of white don't work well in tattoos.

as i recall being told:

it does totally depend on your skin tone as the white tends to pick up on the colour of your skin.
it's great for highlights, but not for large areas as it will tend to just look like an off-shade skin-tone

depends how big the design, what it is, your skin tone, etc. etc.
To thine own self be true.

hey thanks for the reply :)
its a really simple line design and im completely aware of the pitfalls but really want one, even if it means retouching regularly. any artist willing to help in the midlands please come forward! thanks!

Why don't you contact some studios in your area to ask for it? I've googled for tattoo studios in midlands and found some. Take a look and give them a call...
