Black light tattoo -
Just like this picture here illustrates, the artwork only appears under
a black light. No worries about your folks finding out that way I would
imagine.
This is not a “glow in the dark” ink, this only works under a black light and the process itself may leave scarring. There is some talk about how safe the ink is… read below...
Want a tattoo that no one will see? well, I guess it is an option these days
UV tattoos have been all the rage with ravers in
recent years. They glowing works of art are popular among people that
want to be more discreet about their tattoos. UV ink is used to spruce
up an old tattoo with some black light glowing accents. Although UV
tattoos look cool there is mounting concern they might not be too good
for you health.
The
chemical makeup of the different UV ink has some worried. UV tattoos
have been responsible for skin rashes, infections and some doctors fear
it is a carcinogenic. Some artist won’t work with the ink and others
have no problem using it. With no ink regulations artists can use what
they deem safe and make their own ink. Phosphorus has been taken out of
UV inks due to the body rejecting the ink.
Regardless of what is being eliminated from UV ink, there is no
telling what is safe to use until the Federal government steps in to
regulate tattoos. Some tattoo shops advertise that their UV ink is
approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) It is approved as a
tracking liquid that is injected in to fish, not for human body art.
I think that more studies should be done and that inks should be
regulated by the Federal government. Artists might know what they are
dealing with, but there are also some that don’t want to mess with it.
Regardless of the lack of regulations, or cancer warnings, there are
some that still want a UV tattoo.
What is it?
black light tattoos contains chemicals that
absorb the high energy UV rays for a few nanoseconds. Then the
chemicals release the energy and the tattoo glows! There are many
different colors of black light or UV reactive ink. For the titanium
white color, in the absence of UV light, the tattoo can be completely
transparent on light skin tones. Other colors are visible in any light
but glow in black light!
You need a Blacklight to make the tattoo “GLOW”. All 17 blacklight
tattoo ink colors show up in normal light. The 18th color UV Titanium
White can be used on light skin tones to create virtually invisible
tattoos - some light scaring may occur due to the tattooing process.
The ink is NOT “glow-in-the-dark” but reactive to any blacklight. We do
offer some blacklight keychains if you would like a mobile way of
showing off your glowing ink.

yep, If this ain't redneck, don't know what is... the title is true, now this happened a few years back, but this is the first I heard of it and the story is crazy. Some woman actually got a tattoo from a man that came to her door selling tattoos... and, she got really sick from the nutty and stupid ordeal.
