The Invisible Tattoo

           Today we're going to be talking about blacklight tattoos. Blacklight tattoos or UV tattoos are tattoos made with a special ink that is visible under an ultraviolet light (blacklight). Depending on the ink, they can be nearly invisible in non-UV environments, therefore they are a popular consideration for people seeking a more hidden tattoo. These tattoos are especially popular in people such as ravers or clubbers.
Although the tattoos are sometimes considered invisible in normal light, scarring from the tattoo in the application process may remain, and might still show. A blacklight tattoo becomes visible under blacklight, when it glows in colors ranging from white to purple, depending on the ink chosen. Colored ink is also available, where the ink is visible in normal light (as with a regular tattoo) but the ink will glow vividly under UV light. However, some blacklight inks are not as bright under normal light as normal tattoo ink and are considered not as vibrant.
          As with anything put inside our bodies, blacklight ink can have some effects in people. If you have an allergy to a certain ingredient in the blacklight you may have to seek medical attention. There is also a chance that the ink may just have a bad reaction to the skin because of improper care or the sensativity of the skin.
         Other than that I think that blacklight tattoos are an excellent option if you are seeking body art but things such as your occupation or what you family might think of you holds you back. They also look super cool and are a great eye catcher to people who have never seen such a thing.
