49 Awesome Glow In The Dark Tattoos Visible Under Black Light
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!

I think I would have put it upside down. Easier to hold by your head than bending your wrist down.

I tried to follow the source but didn't have any luck. I wonder what the flower looks like once it's healed?

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.

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.
