White tattoo - change to black???

Hi everyone!

A few months ago I got a white tattoo on my right wrist...David M. did it in Spiral Tattoo in Foxs Bow, Limerick. At the time I was really happy with the job he did but then as it started to heal better I saw where he'd forgotten to fill in some of the colouring. As it's a white tattoo, it's now just starting to look like a bad burn or scar...I was wondering if it would be possible to get it done over again but in black this time???

oh and is the foot a more delicate place to get tattooed (pain wise) ??

cheers

I'm not sure about getting the tat covered, but yes, the foot is a more delicate place to get tattooed, mainly because of the sheer amount of bones and tendons. It's also one of the quickest places to fade, as constant wearing of shoes/socks takes it's tole.

well i wouldn't want it coverd, just done over again in black ink and if it was at all possible go bigger (ok so that might be a problem).
there's one little flower that looks great because he really pressed hard when he was doin it but the rest is all faded away basically.. but i still love the design...celtic tree of life

Go into Danny bullmans and get them to have a look.

White isn't really for tattoos folks, it's really just a highlighter.

Redoing the tattoo in black shouldn't be a problem, if the old one is fully healed.
Lots of people cover up old ugly ones with new tats.
You can also redo an old black tattoo in white to make it less noticable.
