Inclusivity in aesthetics shouldn’t be an afterthought — and at Skrybe, it isn’t. One of the most common misconceptions about white ink markers is that they’re too subtle. But when designed correctly, white ink is one of the most versatile, visible, and inclusive colours available.
Here’s why.
Traditional black or blue skin markers often disappear on deeper skin tones, forcing practitioners to press harder or mark areas more than once — both of which increase irritation. Red can be visually problematic in high-inflammation areas, and green lacks universal clarity under clinical lighting.
White ink, when engineered for medical skin application, provides clean, high-contrast visibility across virtually all skin types. And it does so without triggering the pigment or inflammatory concerns that many other inks might cause in sensitive or reactive skin.
It’s also camera-friendly. White markings reflect light in a way that photographs clearly, especially under ring lights, clinical spotlights, or softbox setups used in aesthetic photography.
But beyond visibility, it’s a symbolic choice. White is universal. It doesn’t assign a tone — it adapts to it. It says: this treatment is for everyone. And when so much of aesthetic medicine is still catching up to the conversation around diversity and representation, even a small design decision like ink colour can make a quiet, powerful statement.
Skrybe’s commitment to inclusivity isn’t just lip service. It’s written into the lines practitioners draw — one white mark at a time.
