If it's who I post about all the time, it's Thomas Hooper.

Dude, right? I fucking love his style. He was in my city for a convention earlier this year but he was fully booked and I couldn't even get a tiny piece by him
There are also these dudes from Russia/Ukraine respectively who have a similar style.

Not much of a black and grey kind of guy, but that dude knows what he's doing.

I think it'd be kind of cool to have something like that kind of "fade into you" as you age, so to speak.
EDIT:
After some quick online searching, it seems to be something that really depends from person to person whether it will even show up, and some have reported it fading into nothing. What might help is finding someone with a heavy hand so that there will be a decent amount of scaring that would enhance the white ink.

yah. i had a talk with dood that did mines about white, he said it was super hard to work with, didn't last, and was so different person to person that it was the opposite of reliable.

Haha I thought about this, too. I like the lacy look.
The next time I get some ink I'll see if the artist can do a little white ink design on me to see if it will hold up with my skin.
