This is another experiment with Uv ink and blacklight, this time on my friend brad's back. It's rather sloppy because we used a different method of applying the ink this time, the tribal around the cross is badly done because I'm doing this all freehand, no pencil or pen to work off of, just go-draw-dry. I always wind up with huge smudges on the side of my hand because it drags in the wet ink.Tribal Cross - blacklight

Blacklight Skull Braclet Tattoo
A friend of mine had me cap off his arm with a flaming skull braclet. He has many tattoos already on this arm, all of which are fire related. I suppose when we finish this arm, we'll start the water arm. Done with both tradition and UV Blacklight ink.
Ultraviolet Koi Fish Tattoo
So, in the end, it is realistically up to you. There are no approved inks on the market today for use in humans, although with the removal of phosphorus from these UV inks and many other improvements they are much safer today. These relatively unique tattoos can certainly be an intriguing prospect and many people choose to ignore the risk and go for it without any adverse effects. The risk is there, and it is certainly higher than in normal tattooing, but there is risk in everything. Many tattoo artists will agree to work with UV inks if requested, and it should be no great difficulty finding one to do your piece should you choose to go this rather original route.
