The bone one is kind of cool. But the state of them.... sooo trashy !!

Wouldnt bother wasting me money for one of them. They're gimmicky and a good conversation starter but thats about it.

I actually have an idea for one of my next tattoos that I want part of it to be UV ink...

Star Lord

It's a secret!
I don't want to reveal what it is with this one till I have it done!

Tiriel

So will everyone have to go clubbing with you to find out??!! Lolz we're happy to go for beers no need to tatt yourself for it

Star Lord

Nah, when it's done I'll put up normal and blacklight pics

Bear in mind, I don't have any time frame for this yet, but it'll possibly be November before I get this done, so don't hold your breath!

It's a common mistake that people make is that they think you can't see the UV/Blacklight tattoos. It's pretty much like a white tattoo, in that it generally won't stand out on pale skin, but you can still see if if you look at it, but because most people don't notice pale colours against pale colours, they don't see it unless you point it out.
My idea will be partially normal tattoo ink, partially UV/blacklight ink.

That's only for the white (Titanium white I believe the name is) UV ink, all the others are other colours, not massively dissimilar to their UV colour, when viewed in normal light.

All the colors (except for UV Titanium White on light skin tones) show up in normal light.

Another useful link IMO - UV-INK-FAQ.html






Not the best picture under the UV light, but the colour is the same as highlighter marker orange, I think it's their 'Fire Red' colour ink. Obviously the specific appearance of the colour will vary depending on the skin tone of the individual with the tattoo though.


One thing I thought would absolutely rock as a tattoo using UV ink would be a koi on a waterfall, then with specific parts done in UV ink so under UV it'd be a dragon, I'd imagine it'd be a heck of a job to design though since you wouldn't want to sacrifice the quality in either (normal light appearance Vs. UV appearance) for the sake of the other.

Theres also this one here :

Tattoos almost invisible and only glows under black light.


Complete range of colours aswell :

Especially loving the little Black Light that attaches to your machine and is powered by the machine itself.

Hard to tell with this being a forum as opposed to having vocal inflections and tones to indicate but it sounds like you think they offer all colours in invisible.
Look at the site more closely and you'll see only one colour is listed as "Neon Invisible UV Blacklight Ink ", all the rest are just "Neon ... UV Blacklight Ink " where ... = colour. For the rest they even say

These tattoo like normal inks yet under ultra violet light they glow.

It's only for the "invisible" one they suggest the use of the blacklight.
I'd consider it a safe bet that the "invisible" one is just the white one.

Im not that bad

I was just pointing out an alternative to the one you showed above.It looks like the same idea ie tattoos in colour but glows in Black light.But also pointing out the "invisible" one.

That sounds really class. Though a logistical nightmare trying to achieve a balance.. but I'm sure it has been done to some effect by someone!
