The art of tattooing has very ancient roots, because drawings on the skin of some peoples are an important tradition. In the modern world, tattoos are often used as decorations. The picture can be applied in different colors, but white tattoos are considered to be very original. And although such "jewelry" appeared relatively recently, they are already very popular.
Why are white tattoos so popular?
The popularity of white tattoos can be explained by many reasons. For example, ordinary drawings, which are applied in blue or black ink, may look too bright and even defiant. At the same time, white tattoos are not so noticeable on the skin, so they are perceived as something stylish, but by no means vulgar.
There is one more reason. When you enter the usual black ink in the inner layers of the skin around the pigment forms a kind of capsule that does not transmit ultraviolet rays. And if you look at such a picture from the side, then the tattoo, and sometimes all the surrounding areas of the skin, acquire a characteristic blue hue. But white tattoos are completely devoid of such a drawback - they look bright and bright at any angle.
And, of course, white tattoos today are something new, fashionable and original. They are suitable for decorating both female and male bodies.
White tattoos: how to make them?
In fact, the pattern technique remains the same - a special white pigment is injected under the skin with a needle. Only the white paint of the master, as a rule, is introduced into the deeper layers.
White tattoos look especially impressive on swarthy or tanned skin. But on a skin of a pale shade, the pattern may come out completely invisible. Therefore, before the procedure, be sure to talk to the master and ask about how the tattoo will look on your body and whether it makes sense to use white paints.
As for the patterns, then using white ink you can make almost any pattern. Girls often choose delicate flowers and fancy patterns, while men prefer drawings with even and strict forms. Especially popular are inscriptions made in elaborate fonts.
A white tattoo can be applied to almost any part of the body. Most often, customers prefer patterns on the shoulder, collarbone, back of the neck, chest, back, calves and hips. In addition, black and white tattoos are popular. After all, the white color becomes brighter and more expressive, and the black part of the picture acquires clear contours.
White tattoos: what you need to know?
To begin with, it is worth mentioning that the period of skin regeneration lasts a little longer than with a traditional tattoo. After all, as already mentioned, the pigment is introduced into the deeper layers of the skin.
A very significant drawback of white tattoos is their fragility. The fact is that over time they turn yellow and lose their contour. After all, the color of the pigment is gradually overlapping with a natural skin tone. Therefore, the picture needs to be refreshed from time to time. Ask the master how often you will need to make a tattoo correction.
