I tried to do a search, but I couldn't find anything. If there are many threads on this I would appreciate help finding them.

I've seen some really cool pictures of this. What's the reality? How many sittings does it take for the white to start showing? I've seen pictures where it's holding up well enough at 2 years, but I expect it might eventually start to sink in?

A waste of time and money, IMO. The 2 year comparison pic looks like shit, alreadily heavily faded.

As far as I know, nothing can go over black?

The owner of this one says it's still looking good at 4 years in the comment thread http://news.bme.com/2007/03/27/white-ov ... tattooing/

You can definitely mask black with colour (if done properly).
