I got a white ink tattoo on my bicep now six months ago. It has now turned brown in some areas, these are mostly where tracing ink had gotten in the tattoo itself. Would there be a way to salvage the tattoo with out colour?

This is pretty standard for tattoos done entirely in white ink and one of the many reasons why most reputable artists will not do them. Add color, problem solved.
