Depending on your skin color, if you find the right artist white won't be a problem at all. I can show you a couple of white portfolio pieces from my favorite artists if you PM me.
Also depending on your skin color, leaving the space empty that you want white could also be ideal as an approximation.
I agree with the rest of the advice here. If you have a friend with decent artistic skills, see if they can put the design on your arm in the size, placement, and colors you want and make sure to move around a lot. See if you want to change size or placement, or even experiment with removing the colors. Doing this can tend to make you wishy-washy about the idea or really excited about it: when you're really excited about it, get it done! Because I had no one to put the design on me to experiment, I photoshopped myself to determine size, placement, etc.
Good luck! A friend of mine has the Texas flag on his left upper arm, and he's pale enough that the white wasn't filled in.
