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!

It was done at Studio X Tattoo on Vancouver Washington by Matt Leatherman.
THATS FROM LEGEND OF ZELDA RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I would do this highlighting the frontal lobe instead (it controls personality)
Jimmi was the best guitar player of all time. Well I think anyway.
I think I would have put it upside down. Easier to hold by your head than bending your wrist down.
That's sick as hell, my daughter and I would totally get something like this.
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.
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.
