This is gonna be interesting!!
Step 1: blackout the hand to cover up old tats (was mostly black, just filled in gaps to have a consistent base)
Step 2: once healed, line and color in with white. I know it will not stay this bright on one pass. That is for sure, but it will show. This is the first application of white.
Step 3: let heal, then second pass of white. The second pass should brighten the design to a nice shade and be a lot more noticeable
Step 4: let heal, then darken around all the white with a final black to really make the darks darker against the lighter tones and create a good contrast!!!
I will post more pics as it evolves!!!

WHITE OVER BLACK TATTOO!!!

So here is the evolution of this white over black tattoo!!

Pics 1-4 explained:

1-original tattoo. The plan was to cover completely with black to have an even surface to work with.

2- complete black out.

3-first session of white. Of course this is fresh and never expected it to stay this bright. But we put it in solid and let it heal. Knowing it would fade by at least half.

No photo for this step, sorry 🥺 but after the white healed, it faded by about half but was still very visible. As expected. At this point, I hit it again with another shot if white.

4-This is the last session. The plan here was to simply touch up and darken the black around the white line to create a stronger contrast. This pic is after the black touch ups. NO WHITE WAS ADDED OR TOUCHED UP HERE. That white is two months healed and was very visible. Touching up the black was just the plan here.

I will post a completely healed picture once I get one.
