    A friend of mine got one done in Celetial Ring - it was about 3 years ago though. And the thing with white ink is that you can't exactly see it very well

    Well you'd probably be better off getting shading or something on it. It might look weird being all white. White tattoos look a little like scars when healed, a friend of mine has flowers and vines in white ink going from her right ear, down her shoulder and chest and then down her right arm. It's beautiful, because the design is fairly simple (just solid lines as opposed to textures on the flowers) and it's not really in your face. However if you're getting something like a tiger, a lot of the details could be lost if it's all white, like you'd really have to look closely at it to get the full benefit.

    Best bet is pop into the studio and ask to have a consultation with an artist. They'll be able to come up with a compromise that should still give you the white ink, but without compromising on the design.
