Scarcely visible and beautifully delicate, white tattoos are like the unicorns of the tattoo world: Rare and difficult to spot, but magical nonetheless.

They’re created using UV white ink, and have increased in popularity in recent years due to their subtle nature: With a white tattoo, you can make the work as large and as expressive as you want without it being noticed. In other words, you could potentially make all your tattoo dreams come true without getting the stink eye from your boss.

Despite their beauty, white tattoos also have a few downsides: Sometimes, they end up looking like a rash, and sometimes, the ink can fade pretty quickly. Nonetheless, this is some of the coolest ink we’ve ever seen.
