Iv wanted a dove tattoo for years but its impossible to get the color white out of tattoo ink (it comes out peach after settling).
A friend of mine from back in time has a tattoo of a heart on her upper bicep. It was a tattoo black outline but perfectly white on the inside. A friend that used to know her says he thinks she used a knife and chemicals to do it. I knew her for 4 years and it was always pure eggshell white.
Does anyone know how she did it?

Depending on your skin tone, a white tattoo can stay white, but most often it will take a yellow/peach/pink cast once it settles in because the color is seen through the epidermis.
The white in my tattoos is still white, but I also have the same complexion as miracle whip.
If your friend mentioned using a knife that almost sounds more like they had scarification done, rather than a tattoo.

white ink tattoos are definitely possible, & i have friends with pure white white ink tattoos. the artist in question has to be able to correctly determine the client's skin's undertones & accommodate for them in the ink. it's VERY RARE artists can do this & VERY COMMON for artists to CLAIM to be able to do this.
on the other side, most scarification will heal to the point that the tissue becomes white.
i would guess, based on your other friend, that the heart was removed skin that then healed as a scar, & the tattoo around it probably came after. tough to say without pics, but that's my guess.
if you live near missouri, i can recommend the best artist with white ink i've ever seen.

Bookmarking this for future reference! He's only a little over five hours from me. I've never entertained the thought of a white tattoo because I assumed it wouldn't be possible, but now I have IDEAS.
