UV Black Light Tattoos
Thinking about getting a UV Black Light tattoo? If so, be sure to check out Frank's "Too Much Information" blog in which he describes the process of getting one done.
He writes:
"From the shot above, you can see that some of the (non-tattoo) ink from the stencil layout remains, but that will wash away in the next days, and you can see the red from the (irritated) skin, which would normally be hidden underneath any opaque ink, such as a black one. Since we didn’t know how well the ink would take, and since we didn’t want to scar the skin deeply, we decided to only do a light filling this time, and I’ll return for a second pass in a few weeks. This way, during daylight, once it is all healed up, there should be no traces of the tattoo, which will only be revealed with a black light source."
You can learn more about UV inks at Chamelion Body Art Supply's website here.

I'm very interested in getting a tattoo that is invisible in the daylight but as soon as a black light hits it, it will light up will be visible to the human eye. Where can get a tattoo like this? What is the cost of a tattoo of these characteristics? Will the tattoo be permanent such as the normal tattoos? Please contact me throuhg my email. baseball_grandslam_87@yahoo.com or paul_daball@yahoo.com
