    You'll be hard pressed to find this. The problem with white ink is that pigment in skin has problems accepting it in general. it is hard to work with in terms of putting it in, & for some people, the end up with no ink showing & just a lovely set of pretty scars. For others, the white goes yellow soon after healing because of the problems with getting the pigment to take it.

    White is generally used sparingly, & those who want prominence in the whites of their tattoos, have been known to get them touched up 3-4 times a year (a-la WWE Wrestler Randy Orton, who has the whites in his tattoos touched up at this frequency). However, even doing this, there could come a point where the skin stops taking it, & scarification is the end result.

    Just my 1 cent (needed one for the loo!!)

    Mark in Wildcat has done a few, but only really basic line designs, I've seen a couple of cats and a snowflake design, but I tend to agree aswell, white does go yellowie after a while and it's really important that you keep it out of the sun (as with any tattoo) as that just speeds up the process of the white turning yellow.
