Wanted to get a tattoo on my wrists but wanted in it white ink, how well does white ink show up and does it depend on your skin tone?

White ink doesn't show up well on anybody, it turns mostly a yellow colour and fades quickly. I prefer not to use it on customers.

I have a long tattoo only in white going from each pinky, and meeting at my collarbones.  I've had the huge span of white ink completed by three different tattoo artists on three different occassions, and they show wonderfully.  No yellowing.  Please note that I've had them retouched on the wrist, hand, and part of the finger on each side.

I have medium colored skin, kind of like a light caramel color, and i have a tat  on my wrist with parts that are supposed to be white, but my skin doesn't take to the white. I think it's best on light/fair/pale skin because the skin has less pigment

take a look at BMEzine there are plenty of examples there I think that a white tattoo especially in a bold design is absolutely amazing.
