White tattoos

On the way to the decision to get ourselves a tattoo, we are faced with many questions regarding style, size, place, meaning, and so on. Most people do not think about the color of the tattoo, in most cases it is simply not necessary.
If the motive for the image is something from real life, for example, an animal or a flower, we transfer such an image to the skin, preserving the natural colors. Some people choose a black and white version of the picture. In this case, the tattoo is done only with black paint, or many shades of gray are used. But few people thought about white tattoos!
It is difficult to say how and when white tattoos first appeared. It can be assumed that in Russia they began to paint with white pigment back in the 90s. Since then, the skill of tattoo artists and the quality of the materials has increased significantly, and white tattoos are increasingly found on art tattoo lovers.
Popular white paint tattoo rumors
As you already understood, white tattoos applied with a special pigment (dye). On the Internet, you can find several popular myths and legends regarding such tattoos:
- Single-color tattoos are less noticeable and do not attract attention
Of course, this is not entirely true. A white tattoo will be more difficult to distinguish at first glance, but it will definitely not remain completely invisible. Outwardly, white tattoos look a little like the result of scarring - another type of decoration for your body. But, unlike scars, in the case of a tattoo, no scars remain on the skin, and the surface remains smooth and even.
- White tattoos quickly lose their shape and color.
In the nineties, there were definitely cases when white tattoos faded, the color turned out to be dirty, over time it was necessary to resort to correction and alteration. As in the case of ultraviolet tattoos, everything depends on pigment quality... In our time, this problem remains far behind. Although once again we urge you to carefully choose the master and salon, which you entrust your body!
The main feature of a white tattoo is that this shade is lighter than the natural skin color. That is why, under the influence of external factors, the color of the paint may appear slightly darker.
It is extremely important that no excess substances get into the paint during the procedure. Any impurity, for example, a part of the translator, on which the master works, can slightly smear the overall color.
In any case, before deciding to get a white tattoo, consult with the master. He will tell you how such an image will look on your body, and if there are any reasons for concern.
What can be represented in white?
Anything. Most often you have to see small geometric figures, stars, crosses, but sometimes a rather voluminous complex picture. White paint tattoos for girls are mostly mehendi variations. To be more original, girls choose white pigment instead of temporary henna.
In general, by the nature of the images, tattoos with white paint often intersect with black work - geometric images with black paint, as you can see by looking at the photo!
