…fade rather easily, will it fade fast being in white ink?

I’m looking to get a lip tattoo right away, however i was thinking it’d be kindve neat to get it in white ink. im just wondering tho, since lip tattoos fade rather easily, will it fade fast being in white ink? will white ink even show up well? aaand, would requesting white ink increase the price? Thank you sooo much

Yes, using white ink is more likely to fade, and no, its unlikely to show up well…the ink sits above the pigment in the skin and is translucent, looking cream coloured on most people’s skin, and only appearing white on people with very very pale skin. Inside the mouth it’d be unlikely to stand out much at all, and certainly wouldnt appear white. The ink itself wouldn’t make the tattoo more expensive, but it may work out more expensive as it might require more sessions to get the ink to take to any reasonable degree. Basically, unless you want a very simple and subtle design, its probably not a great idea.
