I wonder how that looks in daylight, ‘cos it’s fantastic in UV light

Jessica on June 2nd, 2007 at 5:19 pm#6 - I think it is the headrest for the chair she is sitting in.
Jable on June 2nd, 2007 at 5:36 pmIt’s the head of the chair she’s sitting in, covered in some sort of plastic wrap.
One of the nicest UV tattoos I’ve seen yet, but it looks fresh so I wonder how it will look healed.
mackenzie on June 2nd, 2007 at 5:57 pmwhat does it look like in natural light?
TheWomanMonster on June 2nd, 2007 at 7:13 pmit’s really pretty right now. I hope it heals well.
first thought: …cancer?
Dann on June 2nd, 2007 at 8:57 pmprettyy. i want to see it in regular light.
gillian gamine on June 2nd, 2007 at 10:00 pmI love this!!
Izzi Elf on June 2nd, 2007 at 10:31 pmКруто)))Влад молодец.Я бы тоже что-нибудь замутила такое!))))))))))
FlaSH on June 2nd, 2007 at 10:33 pmI’m not a super huge fan of UV tattoos, but I really love this picture,haha.
Nikki on June 2nd, 2007 at 11:30 pmpretty. I love her UV earring too. I love the look of larger-gauge captives/horseshoes… especially in fun colors.
Xalia on June 2nd, 2007 at 11:36 pmEvery UV tat I see posted makes me want one more and more. I saw one posted in an LJ community I’m in the other day of the Triforce on the back of someone’s hand. I need to read up on the health risks of them so I can make my final decision.
Fallen Angel Eyes on June 3rd, 2007 at 12:08 amI really like this! I would love to see this girl at a rave.
JoseyLyn on June 3rd, 2007 at 3:07 amuv light makes everything look awesome
stormy on June 3rd, 2007 at 4:27 amI’ve got a lot of UV work on my hands and face, and for those who are asking what it looks like in normal/regular light, you can’t see it.
Both myself and my girlfriend decided to get some UV work together. I did my face and later my hands and knuckles. She did her knuckles only.
I’m a very light skinned and you cannot notice a thing unless I’m within a few feet of a black light. She is dark skinned and you can’t notice a thing on her. Great stuff and since most UV ink now comes without carcinogens you don’t have to be thinking cancer. Personally, people have been saying that since I was 10, I’m now 30 and I have never heard a case of cancer from UV ink.
David on June 3rd, 2007 at 5:25 amAre the inks used in this totally safe?
Kool idea tho
ÈMþRꧧ on June 3rd, 2007 at 6:34 am>>>first thought: …cancer?
That’s a tad alarmist, not too dissimilar to someone reacting to a standard tattoo with “first thought: infection”.
Have a couple of UV tattoos myself and in normal daylight you can still see subtle markings. I do have dark skin though.
Giles Wallwork on June 3rd, 2007 at 7:28 amI like it! I love UV tattoos (and her earring too)
Veriki on June 3rd, 2007 at 10:42 amNo intention to sound disrespectful, but…: why?
Herger on June 3rd, 2007 at 12:00 pmAnd no disrespect back, but if you have to ask why, aren’t you in the wrong place?
Nikkibunny on June 3rd, 2007 at 12:04 pmNope, why? hahaha
I just don’t really get the point of UV ink & i am interested in the motivation behind the deed.
Herger on June 3rd, 2007 at 1:45 pmwhy?:
I don’t know her reasoning, but I’m attracted to UV tattoos because of the mystery behind them. I quite like the idea of stepping underneath a black light and having someone’s art appear glowing on my skin. It’s a just a different spin on tattooing.
Granted, the tattoo may not be entirely invisible in regular light, I think it’s an awesome idea, and I love the way this looks. I’ve always wanted a tattoo on my forearm, and after seeing this, I think I’ll find someone who can do something in UV ink.
ella on June 3rd, 2007 at 4:38 pmthat looks gorgeous. I love the effect of UV tattoos, and I’m really interested in it. It just seems so dangerous, in the other hand.
goomy on June 3rd, 2007 at 8:44 pmStunning!
Hamsandawich on June 4th, 2007 at 2:59 amThat is f’ing awesone!
weefaery on June 4th, 2007 at 5:15 amhere’s some info about the UV tattoos and ink
nickyldr on June 4th, 2007 at 12:12 pmhttp://www.crazychameleonbodyartsupply.com/crazy-chameleon-blacklight-tattoo-ink-faq-main.htm
they say it’s not dangerous as some said it causes cancer
It depends on the ink used, most of the time the pigment is deposited directly into the skin, and what makes it glow is carcinogenic.
With Crazy Chameleon ink, the pigment is encased in PMMA which (supposedly) won’t get damaged unless it is frozen (-10 degrees Farenheit). Therefore, it is safe unless you plan on getting your body cryogenically frozen. Even then, if you are brought back to life the ink would still be as safe as (or safer than) any other blacklight-reactive ink.
an0nymous_vamp1re on June 4th, 2007 at 5:00 pmI got the MSDS sheet from that company when we ordered a bottle of the ink to try out. If you google the ingredients off the MSDS, individually they all state that they have been known to cause cancer. Therefore I don’t see how you can add several different chemicals known to cause cancer together and have it not cause cancer.
stainless on June 4th, 2007 at 9:52 pmI had a few dots done with this ink put on my hand just to see, and it is barely noticable at all in normal light, but it does act up occasionally and I plan on cutting it out when I get a chance just to be on the safe side.
well therorectically u can take like 3 or more known bad unhealthy factors and make them fun and safe like gasoline,road flares, and cotton candy…each on thier own would be very hazzorudous but when put them all togther they are still safer than uv ink …
Bradly on June 5th, 2007 at 4:57 amThat is awesome.. im from Adelaide, Australia and would love some info on where to get this sort of thing done…ive just grown the balls to get some all white facial ink and would love to outline it all with uv ink..overall awesome tat
Jason on June 7th, 2007 at 10:42 amJason QOUTE “ive just grown the balls to get some all white facial ink .
Bradly on June 9th, 2007 at 4:32 pmmy suggestion is now tha you have just got ur knaddds up to size :WAIT AT LEAST A YEAR UNTIL YOU GET ANY INK OR ANY OTHER PERMENT WORK DONE ON YOUR FACE
U STILL WANT IT A YEAR FROM NOW ,THEN GO FOR IT.
that just my opion but who i am to judge someone who just grew some big balls …
