HOW IT WORKS: a black light looks Dark purple, but it really emits the whole ultraviolet spectrum, which is invisible to the human eye. Under a UV light, anything white, and colors that contain “Phospor”, such as the Uv ink, or a glow stick, emit bright light. This is due to the fact that Phospor is any substance that absorbs energy and re-emits it as visible light.

So, in conclusion, SOME, BUT NOT ALL UV inks contain phosphor. Which brings us to the 1st PRO: It looks cool but; CON: it may give you an allergic reaction (depending on your skin type).

PRO: You’ll totally rock in a rave party but CON: consider how it would look like under normal light conditions.
PRO: It totally looks rad! CON: The FDA has not officially approved UV inks yet.
Cool tattoo idea! However, not all tattooers are into the idea. UV inks are not so easy to tattoo.

Pro: landing a job would be easy, and they wouldn’t know about your little secret. 😉 Con: it’s not as committed to Traditional tattooing… The one that our ancestors passed on to us… Which is the main use of black ink & wearing them with visibility & pride. 😉

So what do you think, guys? Would you get one? Share your experiences! 🙂 have a day full of light!
