can i put a white ink over a done black tattoo? i recently had a black rosary tat on my foot but i wanted to have it fixed up since the color wasnt that good. Im thinking of coming up with a black rosary tat then outlined with some white on it to have a shining effect.. what do u think? will it work?:confused:

You can outline in white, but no color can be tattooed over black to change it’s color. Also, white becomes a sort of pale, vomity yellow/gray thing in a very short time, and needs to be touched up very often.

i see… u have any suggestions on what to do? i mean to make it look more lively, is it ok to add more colors like red? anything that can be mixed up with black? (for the outline) aside from white?

Oh dear, this was a fix? How was it before?

I’m not sure what you can do to make it better. I expect you’d need to make the cross a lot bigger and incorporate your current one into it somehow. It’s all just very poorly done.

Is that a picture of it fully healed?

If you want input on whether or not it’s possible to fix it, you need to show it as it is 🙂

You let the same tattooist go over it again after getting this done and being unhappy with it from the start?

yeah i THOUGHT he can make it better… wrong move i know… *sigh* im just so frustrated at this time… knowing that this is something permanent, and feelin not good bout it makes me want to cry! waa! 🙁 i would stilll want to get the same rosary design though…it got some meaning for me… just hoping it can still be fixed.. a decent look would be fine .. thats why im really very careful now and i would like to hear from the experts like you guys..

Well then, I’m afraid you’re going to have to share pictures of it in it’s current state..
