I was thinking about them myself yesterday, when working out my future tattoo plans. I have no idea what I'd get, because for the most part I dislike abstract pattern or tribal tattoos.
ThePQ4:
White ink can kill you!!! As can UV-Ink, actually.
There are VERY FEW artists --GOOD, REPUTABLE artists that will do total white-ink tattoos.
(And even at that: they don't usually have good staying power, I hear. They fade out rather easily).
(Wow, I lurk at the Inked Nation forums waaaaay to much...)
redglasscurls:
I have heard bad things about UV ink, but why the hell would normal white ink be worse for you? It's used in tons of tattoos as accents.
Oh and I am pretty much ok with it fading out, the POINT in getting it all white would be subtlety instead of garishness.
ThePQ4:
To be honest, I'm not completely sure. I'll dig up some information on it.
I think it's OK to use it a little bit, but you're more likely to get irritation and color rejection doing a completely white tattoo... Let me go check.
And if you're OK with it fading, why get a tattoo at all? They cost too much money to let them fade out.

Anyway, white ink is different from the color/black ink at any rate. Maybe I exaggerated. They just have no staying power at all.
Just promise me that NO ONE here is even THINKING about UV-tattoo... Those WILL kill you. The pigments have been known to cause cancer. I want to smack all of these people on Yahoo!Answers who say they're "cool"... Ugh.
Emaline:
UV tattoos are cool. They look neat.
Also, what tattoo isn't going to fade at least a little? If you want your tattoos to look constantly fresh, then you are going to have to constantly reink them. I mean, I realize that they shouldn't fade quickly, but they will fade eventually.
White ink tattoos are great. I think they look nice.
