I wouldn't bother, white is really hard to do. A little sun and it's gone.

+1 most tattoo artists I know only use white to mix with other colors as it will not last on its own.

Laurie, did they not tell you to keep it wrapped for 24-48 hrs?

Looks great btw.

Need to get something going on my 4th tattoo, a grizzly looking like its ripping through my left calf. ( go figure eh )

Thanks Grizz. They told me 2-4 hours, so I did for 4hrs I would of been happy to keep it wrapped longer but thought I should do what I was told so I don't mess it up. They said you can wrap again if needed for work but it was better not to. Even Doug said that it's better to let it breathe and heal and not have it wrapped for to long Just followed the at care home sheet I was given.

I was warned that the white could fade over time but I wanted the bands white so she did them white.
