Glow in the Dark Tattos

It shows under a black light.

I worked as a tattoo artist for years. I dont think I would like it in my skin or tattooing it on anyone.

I like what this artist says about it.

The material that makes something glow-in-the-dark is not suitable for use in tattooing. Something will glow in the dark because it has phosphorescence in it. That material can cause cancer in humans. I have heard that there is safe blacklight tattoo ink, however, a tattoo is permanent, and people have only been using the blacklight ink for a few years. There is no real understanding about the long-term effects. Most of the blacklight ink that I have seen does not look very good as a tattoo anyway. It seems like that ink is much more likely to heal up patchy. No one really knows how long the ink will stay reactive to blacklight. I really cannot recommend something that has that many unknown variables.

Yeah, it's not glow in the dark. It's simply visable under UV light.

Also, it's the *only* tattoo ink out there that has FDA approval. Meaning it's technically much safer -- nothing else out there has to conform to those standards.

I've been thinking about trying it out, but I'd need a kick ass design worked out first.

Not at all. The only standards something has to conform to are the FDA's, not whether or not they are truly safe.
