text: how come in my all black tribal tattoo there is spots that look more colored than others like spotty whitearea it likes all black but in some areas it looks darker than others..like a white spotty area in different spots of the tattoo?  is that a scab coming through or did the tattoo artist not darken it in enough? hey. im a tattoo artist so this is a pretty easy answer. as you where being tattooed you may have noticed how you where a mess with tattoo ink. sometimes when being tattooed the ink sticks to the skin and keeps the tattoo artist from seeing that its not tattooed in the skin but just stuck on the outside. it can also be just the way you healed. black ink is tricky and harded to see then lighter colors. thats why when tattoo artist's are starting out they should do a lot of blackwork. if you can color in black then you can color in anything. almost all studios offer free touch-ups within a year of your tattoo. black also fades easy to so sunblock spf 30 for the summers and tanning beds.   www.studiomaxx.com
