My camera phone does nothing to them though. There's whiter parts than others, but they still look good. Maybe one day when I'm not lazy, I'll pull out my DSLR for some actual decent pictures.
I have to wait until they heal more before fixing the ink issue. But, so far, so good.

It usually takes about 3 weeks for it to heal fully and goes through about 2 different stages of peeling.
Your artist should have told you about white ink tattoos. They need multiple sessions because a lot of people have issues with white ink. Sometimes it doesn't show up, sometimes it can turn peach/tan ish with the skin (this is often what mine does on my arms), etc. It's why we don't like doing all white ink tattoos.
It's not because he went over some twice and some once. That's not the issue at all. It's just white ink takes to the skin differently than other colors. Same with red ink.
