not that it really matters. but for my third tattoo. i'm was thinking of getting the ancient hawaiian proverb... kulia i ka nu'u on my wrist in white ink. Now i'm going to put it on the wrist coresponding to the creative side of my brain...which i believe is the left? but anyways. kulia i ka nu'u means to strive for the summit...like to reach goals in life....to get what i want.

that sounds like a really cute tattoo, but getting it in white might not be the best idea.
assuming you're hawaiian, you probably have darker skin. white tattoos don't work on skin if it's dark, because the ink is deposited below the outer layers of the skin (which contain the pigment), so it doesn't appear as anything. even if you aren't hawaiian or have dark skin, white tattoos barely even show up unless your skin is alabaster white.
assuming your skin is light enough, there's a good chance it still won't work, as white ink fades very easily or turns an ugly yellow-ish color after a couple weeks/months.
if you're really committed, and want to try it despite all of these factors, it could take multiple sessions to get the white to stay, which will end up costing a fortune, even for a very small tattoo.
if it ends up distorted or an ugly color, you could be stuck with it for life, as white is almost impossible to remove. and it's on a very visible spot on your wrist.
if you wanted white because it's subtle, there are plently of other colors that won't have the harshness of black. i would go for a light pink or blue. it'll be really pretty:)
the creative side of your brain is the left side, and i love your tattoo idea:)

Sounds like a cool tattoo, but it's your right side of your brain that controls creativity.

Awsum idea for a tat and massive meaning go for it if thats wot u really want..It ur body not anyone elses...
So wot if the creative side is the right, if the left is wot u think is the creative side well do the left, cos that is the place u first thought of and well, it must have to go on ur left wrist....
Anyway either way wear eva u get it, it will look massive...

Tattoo sounds good. FYI: Creative side of your brain is the right!

That sounds good to me.....
In some traditions, the left is the "pulling hand" and the right is the "pushing hand"...... In other traditions the left is the passive (feminine) and the right is the dominant (masculine).
What you do and where you put it..... is the excitement of life...!!!
My next tattoo is a Shark across the middle of my back....

You are correct in thinking that the right side of the brain is the creative side.......but..........the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, so you might consider putting the tattoo on the left wrist??
By the way.....I like the tattoo in the photo.

sounds cool but if u get white, let me tell u that white does not stay in ur skin for very long or well. I got a little bit of white in one of mine and it was gone in a matter of months. The tattooist even told me it would happen. It's just not a very good color to get in the long run....L

Yes that would be the left side that corresponds to the right side. Also are you sure you sure you want to do the Hawaiian thing you might offend some one unless you are from Hawaii
