Hi. I think that the ultraviolet tattoos seem kinda pointless. Most people have tattoos because they want people to see them. Alot of the ones you see today have some kind of sentimental value to them. Or they tell you a story that has alot of meaning to them. Some people feel that they are a way of expressing who they are. Thay are becoming very common now! Angelina jolie had her x-husband's name tattoed on her arm and just recently had it covered with latitude and longitude numbers. It turns out that someone did the math and found out that it was the country where her first two children were born. So everyone has a story behind their own. I almost died when I was 17 in a car accident. Then 2 years later I had a tribal tatto put on my arm that meant "soul flys to heaven"
It reminds me that everyday is a gift. And it is something that I will treasure until I die.

Thanks fro the comment Lana. I agree with you that there's little point in getting an ultraviolet tatto. In my opinion thet's just a trend, but hey, you might never know what's comming up next.
I like people who are not afraid to show what they hold dear, so you go girl!

I have 2 tattoos, a large one down outside of my right forearm which is an ambigram of my name (reads the same both ways) and i have a read and black nautical star on the other forearm. I dont hide them at work at all, but interviews is a different story.

I love the idea of these UV tats, but as statd i also dont go to places with black lights enough so is it really worth it ?

UV tattoo ink is not commonly known or used, as very few varieties of UV inks are approved for use in the US. It is also many times more expensive than regular tattoo inks. Some people have had reactions to ingredients in the ink, ranging from minor itching to dermatitis. Several UV inks are suspected carcinogens and allergens and at this time, no research has been conducted into the possible side effects of long term exposure. Some UV inks are known to yellow or turn slightly brown with sun exposure.
