    Hi

    I got mine done in Stima tau in Swords, Co Dublin.
    They prefer to do a small design in White ink, as it can go cream/yellow depending on your skin tone and pigmentation.
    Also, if it is somewhere on your body that is often exposed to sun light it will turn the colour too.

    white ink is generally only used as a highlight colour in tattoo's, to do a whole tattoo in white will not work, only small outline tattoo's in white work and only to a small degree, when done they can look more like a scar than a tattoo! Not pretty at all

    STOP DON'T GO THERE!

    I got a small white one on my right wrist and now it looks horrible!!! I got it as my first tattoo aswell but therer's only one bit of the detail that's properly visible.... I got it done in Limerick, Spiral Tattoo (which i wudn't go back to).

    Got another underneath it in black by Dirt in Derry (who was fantastic) so i'm guna go back to him and get the white one re-done in black and red/ green and red.

    don't go white, it's only a highlighter and after healing doesn't look good. I found out the hard way
