Work in progress! Getting color on the 18th!! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i have large blocks of white on my sleeve and backpiece and highlights all over. the arm is 12 years old, the back is 5. there is also white mixed in with other coloured ink throughout. so i have it all over. i have never had a reaction to it, it was all packed in properly by good tattooers, no reactions and it definately has lasted. i would be more worried about a family history of cancer, toxins in the environment and our food supply than i am about getting cancer from tattooing. actually i would be more worried about getting cancer from a rotary-pen tattoo machine...but i digress

I have white highlights on several tattoos and most all of it has fallen out,I am not impressed with white ink,it looks great when it's first done but does not last.I don't know the exact types of white ink that has been used on me.no bad reactions though.

Never seen that before. Personally I'd lay off lotions/ointments and let it dry out. Not much else you can do as long as it doesn't look/feel infected.

my white bird turns into a golden bird every summer. my whites have always had a bit of a seasonal colourshift, so that beige is somewhat expected. I've seen it to where if you overwork white it comes out beige. also my legs have always been a bitch to heal. some of my tattoos are in my profile gallery, so enjoy 🙂 and welcome to the cancer-free forum !

Thank you. I am going to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't take a turn. Certainly not something I've seen either. Only thing im worried about is cracking and having big plates of skin.

Poor application or damage during healing, as far as I know . . .

Yeah - it could be a red ink reaction, and you'll find at least a couple of historical threads that dive into that subject. Nevertheless if it's painful even 2 weeks after it's applied I'd be having a doctor make sure there's no infection.

go see a doctor
