Can tribal be in white?

Okay, I was doing studio pictures, and I did this guy in white for tribal because I wasn't sure it would really show up on his dark skin. Is this okay? If not, too bad!
A few more shots I did from that day:

I dont know about the technicallities of it all, but this looks great! I'm sure the black would have looked good too, but it's all about the art, lots of people are mixing and matching colours in their tribals any how.
Well done, lovely pics!

i do tribals in all colors. I have a red white and blue one on my board for the 4th Pink is popular color with girls.

Of course it can...you did it didn't you..

I think it looks great on his skin tone...sky blue would look amazing too

lovely, momma! some glow in the dark or uv under blacklight would be too cool with that but yes, the white on his skin really pops. I frequently outline in white on darker skin if the design allows.
