If you crave getting inked but don't have the balls to do it, or simply want to give your regular tattoo a twist, a black-light responsive tattoo might be the thing to consider. Otherwise called UV tattoos, they are only visible under black-light when they heal!
Be the brightest star in a night-club or that dude (or chick) at a rave party. Avoid getting looked down in that fancy office that you work at. Have a little secret. Still thinking? Bored Panda gathered a bunch of stunning examples of UV-tattoos that might pull the trigger for you. Have one already? Let us see it!

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
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.
