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!!!
