I got a white ink tattoo almost a month ago. The artist used a stencil that was purple or blue, and the stencil color got into the white ink, so my tattoo is blotchy. It doesn't look white at all, just a muddy blue color. Will this go away? And how long should it take, since it's been nearly a month and the tattoo is mostly healed. Also, in a couple of small areas that do show up white, there are little red pock marks, almost like bubbles, in the ink, I assume from the blood. Did the artist go too deep, or not enough coverage? Please help! I've seen so many beautiful white ink tattoos and mine is looking horrible, and it's in a very prominant place on my forearm. Thanks!
White Ink Tattoo messed up?

white in k is usually used to add more contrasting areas in black/grey tattoo work and in some color.
When doing an all white tattoo the artist should put the stencil on very lightly and dab as much axcess off as possible.
the stencil therma fax paper is water soluable and should disapear. UNLESS he hacked u up and the carbons dispersed in any scarr tissue. Shuld post a link with a picture. would help out a great deal
