...would be done purely in white ink.

Dark inks just seem messy to me for my own body.
They blur, fade, are hard to match with clothes,
and would seem too awkward on my pale complexion.

I've noticed that white ink heals like perfect scars.
I think it's beautiful.

(Fresh)

It's so simple and elegant.
Plus, you don't see this kind of tattoo every day.

Frankly im on the fence.
I love the look of it but they fade overtime and eventually you can barely see them.

Although I especially love that first one with the wings.

But that's what I love about them!
They're for me, not for other people to see.

It's really popular in my town (filled with rednecks and white trash)
to get a million "look at me!" tattoos everywhere they can.

I just want to be myself and not attract too much attention.

I want to get a white ink piece across the bridge of my nose and both cheeks, a cool horizontal linear design. I think It would look awesome in white b/c then it's still clear, but not too pronounced.

White ink tattoos are awesome, I want at least part of one of my tattoos done with a lot of white in it.
I hear that more people than usual have bad allergies to the white ink though. So you'd want to do an allergy test somewhere, I think.

I think the white ink looks wonderful. I personally, would be worried about them fading into nothing, but I love the wings. It's defiantly something you don't see everyday. My skin is a bit darker, naturally tan I guess, so I'm not sure how something like that would turn out on me.

Those are beautiful. I love the wings. Personally I also love the contrast of dark against white skin. I'm just as pale as you, but I don't think lighter would suit my personality. xd

If I ever ended up being allergic to white ink,
then that would be game over for me with tattoos.

If anything, I would try to encourage them to fade.
Even though the ink would (I'm sure) disappear after a few years,
there would be a light scar from the tattoo gun.

I don't know, it just seems very intimate.

Hahaha, I'm such a nerd.
I photoshopped an octopus tattoo I would have wanted as a chest piece.
Forgive how messy it is, it's my first time really using photoshop in years.
