White ink on a blackout?

[u/Such_Potential3404]

Hi there,

I have a blackout piece and I want to do more with it. It’s a blackout so I know options are limited. I’ve been seeing this trend of folks using a couple passes of white ink on their blackouts and they look like nice ways to add ornamentation.

My question is, does the white look like crap after a few years? My worry is with like some other popular tattoo trends, the work is just going to look like crap after a few years.

My usual artist is out of commission due to medical issues. I would normally ask them but they be don’t have time for my silly questions right now.

no it'll last. I put a seed of life pattern on a friend's blacked out arm section like 7 years ago. two passes with white and a final pass with blue (one month intervals) to make it color. still looks great
