The invisible UV ink tattoos

A good number of glowing tattoos are technically invisible although you may notice their presence. Nevertheless, they tend to be visible when you expose them to a source of UV light. Some tattoo designers can layer invisible ink beneath or over the normal tattoo to generate a glowing effect.

The UV inks used in creating these tattoos are a product of fluorescent ink. When made safely, this ink does not contain phosphorus or any other toxic chemicals that you can cause you home once they get into your body.

Under natural light, the colored UV ink is no different from the normal tattoos. However, you expose these tattoos to UV light, they will glow very brightly thus turning the colors into a fluorescent like palette. The colored UV ink combined with the invisible ink brings about a striking effect.
