Effective White Ink Usage in Cover-Up Tattoos | Guy Aitchison Tattoo Tips (11/20)

Tattoo Tip # 11 - What are the challenges of working with white ink in a cover up tattoo?

Guy Aitchison, legendary tattoo mentor for over 30 years, presents the challenges of working with white ink in cover-up tattoos such as varying outcomes depending on pigments and needle groups used, and the need for multiple passes to achieve desired lightness. The contrast can be challenging to maintain, especially when covering large black areas, and results may diminish over time. Selective application on smaller dark areas can create a harmonious design despite slight fading.
