Refined and discreet, barely noticeable on the skin, white tattoos captivate not only fans of body art around the world, but also those who do not accept traditional tattoos. This is a win-win opportunity to make a statement and attract attention without being too vulgar.

History of appearance

The development of the art of tattooing does not stand still, this also applies to the color scheme of designs performed on the body. Once upon a time they only possessed a blue pigment. Then black color appeared in the assortment, and later - any of the existing color shades.

Finally, today anyone can afford such an extravagant and unusual option for decorating the skin as white tattoos, the meaning of which can be very diverse depending on the chosen design.

This is interesting. Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss were among the first to try out the new ink. Lohan wears subtle hearts, and Moss wears the word “breath” on her wrist. Celebrity fans did not have to wait long and followed the example of their idols.

At first glance, such an image can be confused with scarring, however, it looks more elegant, because the skin remains smooth and intact.

Application Features

Important. Oddly enough, designs of this color look much more advantageous and organic on light and pale skin. But mulatto women can also decorate themselves with light patterns, the main thing is that your skin tolerates white ink well.

Before applying such an exotic pattern to your skin, you must be sure to familiarize yourself with some important nuances:

• White ink is inserted much deeper than any other, and, therefore, the printing process will be more painful.
• Despite the deeper injection of ink, such designs are still less durable than black and colored ones. Human skin is constantly renewed, so the image will acquire a yellowish or even brown tint over time. Therefore, such decoration requires careful care and constant renovation.
• To prevent an inconspicuous design from turning into a shapeless light spot, you should choose sketches with clear boundaries: patterns with wide lines, ornaments.
• Entrust the execution of a newfangled image only to an experienced master, because not everyone can cope with the peculiarities of white ink. The master must determine how it will look specifically on your skin, and whether you should undertake the implementation of this idea. Remember, not every tattoo artist will agree to such a procedure - many will advise you to create a contrasting image with black color, or with the addition of red and olive ink.
• It is not uncommon to have such a negative point as an allergy to white ink. In this case, it is better for you to refuse the desired design than to receive an oozing smeared scar instead of a beautiful decoration.
• Remember that due to the specifics of the ink and application, such a tattoo will be more expensive.

Where to place it?

I have one tattoo in white ink - it's a Celtic pattern on my forearm. It looks very stylish and unusual, like a scar. I advise everyone to try it.

Andrey, Kaluga

Since these unusual tattoos are much less noticeable than traditional ones, they are usually tattooed in places where they will be visible. Girls who especially liked this type of image choose the most exposed parts of the body: wrists, arms, chest, shoulder blades, ankles, collarbones and neck. Some even apply them to their faces, which looks very interesting and unusual.

On the other hand, constant exposure to light and contact with the environment has a negative and destructive effect on extravagant images. Therefore, there are people who, on the contrary, hide these delicate drawings.

Expert opinion

Viola Madison

Tattoo artist, 8 years experience

Choosing a language to write a tattoo is not just a matter of aesthetics or knowledge. Each language presupposes its own character and characteristics, which must correspond to the character, image and lifestyle of the man, as well as the semantic message of the tattoo itself.

Where on the arm do men most often get tattoos with inscriptions?

The location of a tattoo is an important choice, which can affect its sacred meaning and influence. It is no secret that any body design involves an impact on fate and karma. This means that carefully select the place on the body and the inscription, taking into account their meaning and meaning.

Forearm

The most spacious area on the body where a man can write an inscription or a whole quote is the forearm. If a man is by nature a confident and focused person, the so-called “salt of the earth”, a workaholic and a researcher by nature, then a tattoo with an inscription on the forearm will be in harmony with his inner world.

Wrist tattoo

The wrist on the hand is known to be a vulnerable part of the body, since it is possible to listen to the heartbeat here. This means that the wrist is an area where a tattoo with an inscription and other elements can “echo” the soul, suggesting a strong sacred and sensual meaning.

Tattoos on the palm, hand and fingers

Much more often, tattoos in the form of inscriptions are applied to secluded places on men’s hands - fingers, palms and hands. It is known that it is with his hands that a man can influence the world and his environment. This means that motivating quotes and phrases that give strength and self-confidence, creative inclinations are put here.

Are there any recommendations for applying tattoos with inscriptions on your arm?

Before you head to a tattoo parlor to get a lettering tattoo, it's important to think through all the details. Namely:

• decide on the theme of the inscription, taking into account life priorities and what is most important to you;
• choose a language that will be in harmony with the meaning and message of the inscription;
• select the font and method of displaying the text;
• take a photo with the finished sketch, it should be unique and not someone else’s idea;
• learn about the rules of preparation for a tattoo and care after the procedure;
• select an area on the body where the artist will transfer the sketch;

Are there any tattoos on your body that you would like to remove?

YesNo

How to choose a tattoo design for a place on your arm?

To make the tattoo look aesthetically pleasing and clear, rely on the principle of proportionality when choosing a place for the inscription. For example:

• long quotes - so that the text fits in and is not compressed, choose mainly the forearm area;
• short inscriptions of a few words - for such sketches, hands, palms and wrists are selected;
• one word - it can be a name, date, etc.; fingers are suitable for a small inscription.

The fact how important it will be for you to hide the tattoo in a work or official setting can help you choose a place on your body for a tattoo.

Where is the best place to get a tattoo?

To get quality work, you will need to go to a tattoo parlor that has a license and permission to provide such services. Lettering is the simplest sketch for a tattoo, which means that even a young specialist can handle the job. But this does not mean that you can turn to self-taught people and craftsmen at home, since they do not provide any guarantees other than the risks of injury and infection.

Conclusion

An inscription is the fastest and easiest tattoo, which rarely appears as an independent sketch, but is more often added to an existing body design. The text can be made in different styles and in different languages ​​of the world. The most mysterious and mysterious are Arabic and Latin. Spanish, Italian, and French sound beautiful and melodious. German is the choice of real men, and English is considered the traditional and most understandable language.

White paints look best on tanned skin, as well as on girls who have naturally dark or dark skin.

Outwardly, they can even be mistaken for henna tattoos, because the colors turn out natural, like with henna tattoos. But this is only at first glance. In general, tattoos with white ink most often look more elegant and subtle, and are sometimes made with a glowing effect under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

Important: White tattoos require special professional skills from the artist, so you should trust this procedure only to a good and experienced artist. After all, the flaws will be noticeable, and then the result will not please you at all.

Who is suitable for white tattoos?

First of all, this type of tattoo is suitable for girls with dark skin, as mentioned above. Because they look especially impressive on this skin tone. But pale-skinned ladies can also pay attention to white ink tattoos. This tattoo can be especially recommended to those whose lifestyle (career, strict dress code, communication with small children or old people, etc.) does not allow them to have the usual rules of etiquette, but want to decorate their body. If you make a tattoo of a small size, then its thinnest white lines will be almost invisible, and only upon closer examination (for example, during intimate communication) will your body discover such an attractive moment.

And, of course, girls who like to try everything new and are not afraid of changes in their image become fans of white tattoos. For example, this includes top model Kate Moss. And she tried something new: she has white tattoos in the shape of several hearts. Lindsay Lohan has a white tattoo of the word "breath" on her wrist.

Features of white tattoos

Before you decide to go to a salon for a white tattoo, you should know a few things that distinguish this type of tattoo.

White ink, as a rule, is less durable than color and, especially, black. This means that white ink tattoos, although done using the same technology as regular ones, will not last “for life.” But the not very good consequence of this may be that over time the white ink may change color and the tattoo will become more like.

The second disadvantage of white tattoos is individual intolerance to white ink, which is not so rare. If this happens, the tattoo may appear raised, swollen, and leave behind an oozing wound or scar. Or you will have to abandon the idea altogether, because the skin will not absorb the white ink.

White ink doesn't look equally impressive on all skin tones. And it’s quite difficult to say in advance what a white tattoo will look like on your skin. Therefore, some people leave the tattoo artist with a yellowish tattoo, or with no color at all.

It is because of these reasons that not all artists take on white tattoos. And if you decide to get a tattoo with white ink, you may have to go to more than one salon before you find a master who makes white tattoos.

Application of white tattoos

The technique for applying a white tattoo is approximately the same as for a black tattoo. That is, a stencil is used, or the master makes the tattoo by hand. A white tattoo may require several passes over the same area to allow the white ink to fully sink into the skin. This is because white ink is not absorbed as easily by the skin as colored or black ink.

You should know that it is not advisable to do white tattoos on open areas of the body: on the arms, shoulders, ankles. That is, in those places of the body that are often exposed to the external environment and sunlight. Because these impacts greatly destroy white ink. It is best to do white tattoos in places that are covered by clothing: on the back, or on the back of the hands.

The simpler the design, the easier it is for the artist to make a tattoo. But when choosing a design, it is better not to be guided by this. Still, this tattoo is permanent, and the choice of design should be taken responsibly.

White tattoo care

Care is not much different from caring for a regular (color or black) tattoo. In the first weeks, try not to wash it or expose it to direct sunlight. Subsequently, also protect the tattoo with sunscreen, as well as all skin, if you are.

Some strong chemicals can also destroy tattoos, so do not chemically peel or expose your tattoo to household chemicals, and protect your tattoo during cosmetic procedures using lasers or acids to ensure that the tattoo remains contrasting and detailed.

What is the price

Typically, white ink tattoos are more expensive than regular tattoos. This is partly due to the quality of the ink, it must be very high quality, and a larger volume of ink is required than with a black tattoo.

Considering that only highly professional artists and good salons undertake such tattoos, you should prepare for an impressive amount. But this, to some extent, is a guarantee of good quality of the procedure.

It is known that fashion does not stand still. For several years now, there has been a widespread fashion among tattoo lovers for white tattoos as an alternative to traditional, black and colored ones. Wanting to add something new to their image, look original and like themselves, fashionistas all over the world are ready to endure pain and a number of other inconveniences. So why are more and more young women choosing white tattoos and what are their features? Let's look at it step by step in this article.

White tattoos: what is their feature?

White tattoos emerged as a less painful alternative to the art of applying patterns to the skin using a scalpel. Despite the impressiveness of curly scars, not everyone is able to decide on such an unpleasant procedure. White paint driven under the skin from a distance resembles scarring, but the tattoo will not turn into scars and its color will not be unexpected.

• Such decorations are practically invisible from afar, so white tattoos for girls are ideal for those who dream of decorating their body, but cannot afford a black or colored tattoo for a number of reasons - strict dress code, working with small children or elderly people, fear of being rejected by others etc.
• If the tattoo is small in size, its fine lines are noticeable only upon closer inspection, which many find sophisticated and attractive.
• White tattoos look best on tanned or dark skin, although in some cases they are also suitable for girls with fair skin. They are usually done on those parts of the body that are covered by clothing and are infrequently exposed to sunlight and the external environment - on the neck, back, chest, wrist. For this reason, white tattoos on the arm, ankle, and shoulders are not advisable.

The technique of applying a white tattoo is practically no different from the traditional one: a tattoo scheme is selected, the design is made using a stencil or by hand, after which the artist injects paint under the skin. However, a white tattoo is done in stages - since white ink is less absorbed by the skin than black or colored ink, several passes over the same area may be required.

Theme of white tattoos

What images will look good in white?

• The best option is clear contours that prevent the tattoo from blending into the skin color.
• Outline tattoos, small drawings, patterns, inscriptions, and symbols will look good. White tattoos are also suitable for geometric designs such as mandala and lace.
• Since a tattoo will always decorate the skin, sketches of white tattoos should be chosen with all responsibility. You should only trust such a procedure to an experienced artist who has proven himself, otherwise all the flaws will be noticeable. If you are in doubt about choosing a picture, an experienced master will show you his various sketches of white tattoos.

What to pay attention to

When planning to get a white tattoo, you need to consider some points:

• White ink is not as durable as black ink, so over time it fades and the tattoo becomes yellowish-beige and looks like a scar.
• Individual intolerance to such ink is possible; as a result, inflammation, bleeding or a scar may appear at the site of the tattoo.
• White paint is harder to accept by the skin than black and colored paint, so you have to inject the paint several times, which makes the procedure more protracted and painful.
• White ink can look bland on very fair skin.
• The complexity of execution and unpredictability of the result is the main reason that not every master will offer such a service. Therefore, it can be very difficult to find a salon and a master who makes white tattoos.

White tattoo care

You need to take care of a white tattoo yourself at home. Usually the instructions are given by the master, but there are key rules that will allow you to enjoy a beautiful, bright design for a long time:

• Caring for a white tattoo after the procedure is carried out in the same way as in the case of a regular tattoo; an antiseptic must be used;
• Before a tattoo session, you should not drink alcohol, take antibiotics and a number of other medications, or ointments based on them.
• The white pigment fades quickly, so the tattoo must be protected from the sun, severe frosts, drying out, irritation, and use the sauna and solarium with caution.
• A tattoo with white paint is washed out under the influence of strong chemicals, so in order for it to remain contrasting and detailed, you should not expose it to household chemicals or do chemical peeling. During cosmetic procedures that use oxidizing agents or lasers, the tattoo must be reliably protected from their effects.
• White tattoos require regular correction - the frequency of updating the design depends not only on the quality of the paint and application, but also on the personal characteristics of the skin, on how quickly the epidermis is renewed.

White tattoo cost

Typically, a white tattoo costs slightly more than a similar colored or black one. The price increases due to an increase in the labor intensity of the work, as well as material consumption: light ink is needed 2-3 times more than black or color. The cost of the simplest tattoo will start from 1,500 rubles.

Summary about white tattoo

White tattoos have both ardent supporters and opponents. The former consider white tattoos to be an unusual and creative decoration for the skin, while the latter either advocate traditional black and colored tattoos, or note their fragility and a very long painful procedure.

Despite the ambiguity of opinions, a white tattoo is a desirable decoration for many young girls. However, it is worth remembering that a white tattoo is an adornment for life, so if you decide to get one, it is important not only to choose an interesting design, but also to find an experienced artist who will competently carry out the procedure, after which there will be no unpleasant consequences. Look for real reviews and photos of white paint tattoos made by a master. And, of course, such decoration requires something special.

I don’t want to upset you, but white tattoos don’t suit everyone well. Many tattoo artists refuse to tattoo with white ink, and even if you are convinced that the scar effect looks cool, the tattoo may not last very long. And that's why:

1.White ink doesn't look any more serious.

Imagine the tattoo in the photo above, but in black ink. Black ink is much more suitable for this type of writing. Black is more solid than white. In white, the inscription “stronger” is somehow not convincing. In addition to everything, white can absorb the purple pigment from the carbon copy, which actually happened in this case. And if this happened to you, then you certainly need to be really strong to admit that this creativity will remain with you for the rest of your life.

2.White ink is not intended for outline.

White ink is created and used to draw highlights and shadows. Using white ink for an outline is a rather risky step because the lack of transparency of white makes it difficult to quickly see the drawing. In the example above, the tattoo was photographed in close-up, but we are not able to quickly understand what it is. What happens if you look at it from afar? Do you think it will look like a cool scar?... I'm not sure

3.White tattoos sometimes look like you have skin problems.

Always consider the design of the tattoo. Visualize what the tattoo will ultimately look like. Will they look as intended... or more like a constellation of pimples?

4.Sometimes white ink turns yellow.

Or they turn green. Or any other color is absorbed by white (if the tattoo artist or client is careless). In the picture above, the tattoo not only turned green, but, unfortunately, completely dissolved. The tattoo was gone and all that was left was a strange stain. One tattoo artist correctly noted that White is a translucent pigment. It is not completely opaque. This means that if an unhealed white tattoo accidentally comes into contact with green or black, it will change color. Simply because dark colors are stronger than white. Not only that, but white ink turns yellow when the skin is constantly exposed to sunlight. Or simply because the client does not have very healthy skin and the tattoo does not heal well. There may be many factors.

5.White tattoos are inexpressive.

For the reason that the white pigment is not opaque, as we have already written. Unlike black, which is an opaque pigment, white does not fill space. A white tattoo is often inexpressive. Perhaps white is appropriate for a small tattoo, but getting a big one? Hardly. We advise you to think seriously and weigh everything before deciding on a white tattoo. You don’t have a lot of skin, and you can’t do a lot of covers. Think about it.
