Someone with a white tattoo?

I was about to get a white ink tattoo up my back, but my artist talked me out of it. Why? Because when it heals, it doesn't look like the pictures on Pinterest. The cute, discreet white tattoo turns into an ugly yellow pigment on your skin that fades very quickly (and when it fades it turns brown-ish.) If you're worried about pain I would definitely not get a white tattoo because you have to touch it up a lot more than any other color. It fades quickly. Also, the color of the ink doesn't matter, it's the place on your body which determines how painful it will be. For me, the closer to the bone, the worse it hurts. But it really doesn't hurt as bad as you think it will.

My sister has an olive skin tone and white in a yin-yang on her arm. The white totally faded out after about 6 years. She's had it re-coloured twice. All her other tattoos still look great, but that one is just slightly more pale than her skin. She was told if she NEVER exposed it to sun, it would last a bit longer, but apparently white is the easiest and quickest to fade or bleed. I would say, it would be a waste. Also, because it is SO light they have to go over it and over it and over it and over it and over it.... She also, after a minor car accident, had a bruise show threw it. (this was the cause of the second re-colouring). Actually, now that I think about it, it faded well before 6 years, but it was 6 years at the first re-colouring. It was 3 or 4 years until it faded completely...

I don't have any tattoos yet, but I'm sure the color of ink has nothing to do with the pain. It's the needle that puts the ink there that hurts! What cause the pain to vary is where the tattoo is put and the person getting its pain tolerance.

I do not have a white tattoo, but from my knowledge the only thing that differentiated a white tattoo from any other tattoo is the pigment in the ink, so it should feel like any other tattoo
