White tattoo is a simple tattoo only made with white paint.
Techniques may look like scarification, but it has nothing to do with it. Like any other nude image, a white tattoo has its positive and negative sides. The advantage of this tattoo is its invisibility. But even this tattoo will look unusual, elegant and discreet.
The most significant drawback of the white tattoo is considered to be its fragility. Tattoos in white color lose their outline and color faster than others. White, translucent paints over time acquire a natural shade of the skin, often yellow or slightly pink.
Not all fit and white skin tattoo. More swarthy people will be able to appreciate the tattoo, and light-skinned people will suffer longer with healing of puncture marks, than to admire the image.
Tattoos can be very diverse - inscriptions, hieroglyphs, patterns, laces, flowers, animals, stars and stuff. As for the place on the body, there are no borders. White tattoos can be from the smallest on the fingers or wrists to huge patterns on the entire back or tattoos-sleeves. But it's best to do tattoos in places covered by clothing - wrist, waist, back, stomach, shoulder.
White tattoos require special care. The healing process is longer than in the case of simple tattoos. All this time it is necessary to process a place with special antiseptics and antibacterial agents. It is very important to minimize this tattoo to the sun's rays, which destroy the white pigment of the paint.
