What do you think ?
UV ink is very bad for you and starts fading much much faster than regular color pigment ink. Its also a fairly new type of ink so people don't know about the long term effects yet. Most reputable tattoo artists I know won't touch it. Be careful with this stuff guys.
I have UV stars scattered along my back....the pigment is blue normally, so it can be seen without UV lights. The glow only lasted about 2ish years. I had no negative reactions to the ink, but I am bummed that they don't glow anymore. They are around 6 years old now. So, as much as I want to continue getting inked, I will not do UV ones.
Better ink has been made
Is it moms? I just ordered some. Wondering if anyone knows how good it is longterm yet
The thing with those black light tattoos is that they start to fade away after a couple of years. Also the ink they used isnt considerd a safe product in some countries.
