Blane Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've heard SO many different things on white ink but I'll give you what I think. Generally it seems to depend a lot on brand and your artists ability. I know Megan (my tattoo artist) uses white a lot for highlights and such so she has experience with it. I think it's becoming a lot more reliable as its being used a lot more so various companies are working at perfecting it. Personally, I'm ok with it since it's only going to be used for small parts on my tattoo. If it doesn't hold up, not a big deal to for a quick touch up. I don't know if I'd go for an extensive tattoo with white ink in it. I'll give the advice I give most people, look at your artists portfolio and ask questions. They know better than anyone and can tell you what they think. You also have the benefit of being close/in a major city so you have a pick of the litter of good tattoo artists I'm sure. Short answer though, yes I'd venture to say it will fade more than other colors but nothing more than a yellow or any lighter shades. A good artist should be aware of this and know to put the ink in deeper to help prevent it as much as possible. What were you thinking about?

elnino14 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Speaking of the Joker anybody know any good Joker stories or Batman stories that involve Joker in a big role (preferably in Trade format) to help me hype my self up for The Dark Knight in July? Have The Killing Joke which I know is like THE awesome. EDIT: Felt it was kind of messed up that I didn't even mention that tatoo. Anyways, it's actually pretty awesome. I've had no desire to get tatoos myself but Joker fucking owns and I guess I'd say congrats because it looks really good. Any way we can get a wider pic to see how big it is.

Well he was featured in Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory, he wasn't the main villain, but he was great anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Obviously theres Death in the Family although I could never really get over the art for that book to truly love it. If you want something somewhat whimsical theres The Last Laugh which I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, Last Laugh is a lot of fun. Joker's also pretty awesome in one of the final parts of No Man's Land, although that would be more helpful if I could remember which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
