Do Uv tattoos last very long?
Also- Once theyre healed, are they invisible except when under black light, or can you still see them?

you do realise the invisible ink is ONLY approved forscientific fish tracking??? The irradiated (yes thats exactly what it is) ink mollecules are encapsulated in a tiny plstic ball and suspended in liquid before being put under your skin.
There are no long term tests to verify how long it takes for the plastic to be broken down(ie how long it lasts), and if that happens the irradiated chemical will be released into your body. Its totally in the experimental stage and almost all reputable artists will not use it. Even the coloured ink is shied away from. Its also been known to cause reactions in more people than the regular inks. Most of it isnt even suspended in a natural sufactant, its just liquid acrylic.

Well when my sister in law was dying all of her friends and some family got together and had a tattoo party. We all got a Jack Skellington face tattooed and her name which was Skye done in the UV ink. The UV ink that everyone but me got was the one that is clear under normal conditions but under black light it is purplish. It has been over a year now and still you can see it under the black light and if you are close enough you can see where her name was tattooed. Mine was a tad different her favorite color was red and seeing as she was my best friend I had her name done in the Red UV ink. This lets the name be seen all the time as red but under black live mine glows magenta. There were 10 or more of us who had this done and it never caused any of us a problem.
Hope that this helps, there are many colors of this UV ink and her husband recently had a few more tattoos done in all the UV ink without a problem.

I had one done and it was never that vibrant, so I wasn't thrilled with it. Now that is two years old, its hardly noticeable at all under black light and no one can see it under normal light unless they get really close.
Apparently, the ink can be dangerous, which was not something I was aware of when the guy did it. However, most places won't do them for one reason or another...so ask around, find out if you are facing any serious risks. The ink may be different now, but I hear its still not a good idea. In my opinion its a waste, just don't do it.

You can see all of the colors but white. That is the one that shows only under a black light. The other colors are dull on the skin until a black light hits them, then they pop with bright color. Who would have thought!!!!!!

you can still see them but its all about evolution of proper ink so be aware of this prior
