It’s still fresh, so hopefully I’ll publish a healed photo of these wings in the future, but I sure like the way that this white ink tattoo looks on the dark skin, done by Jan at Black Peppa in Johannesburg, South Africa. I’d love to go back to South Africa… I missed out on Capetown last time I was there…

It’s great, but I would really want to see it when it’s all healed, because white doesn’t normally heal that great on darker skin. I really want to see it healed. It is beautiful though.

The contrast makes for a very striking image. Lovely.

What a beautifully simple design. So elegant, yet very large and ‘light’. I bet it would work even if the ink fades-it would just become more subtle. lovely.

Even if the white darkens, these are simple enough to make gorgeous work regardless of the colour!

It’s nice to see some work coming out of South Africa. I was there a few months ago but I didn’t have the time to find a decent shop (the one I used to go to closed down).
I never really saw a huge number of people with visible tattoo’s either.

The white ink on dark skin just makes that design pop. It’s so pretty and clean looking.
whenever I see SA it’s usually Jo’burg or Cape Town…does anyone know of places in Natal?…I didn’t take to the place my cousin used (not that I’m back there yet, just scouting around :P)
