I wanted a white ink tattoo. but they have the potential to yellow or brown and most artists do not use white ink anyways... so someone on here suggested a pale violet which sound beautiful to me! But i was wonderign if it would be that noticeable. I have very pale skin.. i dont want it to be THAT noticeable. what other colors would you suggest? i dont want it bold liek black.. just something slightly noticeable.. does pale violet fade over time?

Pale violet has the potential to change on you as well. It all depends on your underlying skin tone, how much sun exposure you get, etc. We have done color refreshers on purple tattoos looking very gray.
It is not that most artists do not use white ink, it is just not traditionally used exclusively alone for a tattoo. It is for highlighting for the most part. There is a sudden call for it because of Linday Lohan's tattoo.
Talk to your professional tattoo artist in person to make this determination. They know how their inks perform on your particular skin type.

I think with your skin being pale you should get something bright and vibrant... this coming from someone who has a limit to the colors i can use because I'm brown skin. Something not that noticeable... the lavender does sound beautiful. Or yellow... pink... a light blue... light green... if you stay pastel like, you shouldn't be disappointed. But a wrist tattoo will be noticed. If this is your first, or one you would want to hide, put it in a less visible place. Good Luck Sweetie Pie!

All artists use white, just not that often. White shows up best on light skin, believe it or not, but then any color shows up best on light skin. Tattoos on the back of the wrist are fairly popular at the moment, so just don't follow a trend. If you don't want it to be THAT noticeable, then why your wrist at all?! Placement is almost as important as the tattoo itself. It's permanent, remember?

Pale violet or lavender sounds really beautiful. But since you don't really want it to be noticeable, do not get it on your wrist. Get it somwhere that only you a lone will know that it is there.

Light violet lavender sounds beautiful! But if you are concerned about it showing, I would NOT get it on the wrist.

I don't know about fading, but someone I know has really pale pale skin and she has a lavender tattoo with black lining. It's very noticeable but looks amazing, and very feminine

pale violet sounds like it will be a good color for you. no matter what, tattoos fade over time. how well you take care of them determines how long of a time period they will stay bright and brilliant. the less sun exposure they have the better. good luck!

Sounds like you don't really want it to be that noticable. I think a tatt on your ankle would be better for you. For me personally I like bright colors.

All tattoos fade over time.
I say go with your gut feeling, do what you want...
