The white ink tattoos are amazing, very elegant looking. But correct me if i’m wrong, don’t they take alot more touchup work and maintenance?

I’ve discovered white ink really depends on the artist, the ink, and how you treat it after words. UV rays will destroy your white, but the white ink in an old tattoo on my calf is definitely still there, hardly pigmented at all. The white on my shoulders is doing fine as well, although it hasn’t been through a summer yet.
High fives Megan! Chad rules!
