If my tattoo is black, would white tattoo/ink show up or not?

I got a tattoo a couple of months ago and it's mostly all black, it's a cross. I wanted to get some white ink put in to make some celtic knots. My question is, would the white ink show up over black?

White works out with tattooing most appropriately as a highlighting color. If you want something additional, ask the artist to come up with some ideas after tracing out your existing tattoo - it is always easy to add something around the cross and then maybe throw in some complimentary highlighting throughout the cross itself for balance.

This would likely be the only atistic option - putting white Celtic knots over the black is not really going to work out for you.
