UV tattoo ink
Most UV tattoo ink only becomes apparent when it is exposed to black
light, which gives the art a unique glow-in-the-dark look (sometimes
associated with the rave-scene). The ink has become popular for individuals
whose profession would regularly restrict such body art.
Many people prefer to highlight their regular tattoos with UV tattoo
ink. However, UV ink does not blend very well, so putting regular ink
on top of it will only dull the effect. Also, because of its invisible
nature, a black light should always be used during the application process.
UV tattoo ink is a novel an exciting form of body art, but many artists/parlors
refuse to carry it. More people have had adverse allergic reactions
to it than regular ink, prompting some to think it is too risky.
