White color inked tattoos are starting to become a favorite way of getting a tattoo design done. But not all designs will work well with just plain white colors. Not only does the design matters but skin tone also is a major factor. Because white tattoo color is one of the hardest inks to apply a simple design should be considered when getting a white inked tattoo. In this picture a white inked tattoo of a cross is shown. The simple design of the cross makes it a perfect subject for using white tattoo colors. Not only is this cross tattoo unique, it shows the beauty and simplicity of what a simple design can become.
