I want to get a wrist tattoo because it is easy to hide, but I don't want black ink. Will white ink work? I know white ink can look like a scar, but i think that's kinda cool. I have a few ideas of what I would like as far as a design goes, but I'm open

Eggbert got a new tattoo...

I got a tattoo a couple of months ago and it's mostly all black, it's a cross. I wanted to get some white ink put in to make some celtic knots. My question is, would the white ink show up over black?
