tattoo question?

Question

if someone would want to get wings on their back could they fill in the outline with the glow-in-the-dark tattoo ink?

oh my bad, black light activated whatever it's called. and how does it cause cancer?

Answer 1

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.

Also when people would look at your tattoo you would be sonstantly asked when you were going to get it finished (and trust me that gets very annoying, very quick.

Not all tattooists are willing to use, or even get the supplies of, UV reactive ink so you may find some difficulty in getting it. The cancer link is certainly not confirmed, so your more immediate concern is allergies. Just like a lot of people are allergic to certain red inks, UV ink is another on the top list of allergy problems. I'm sure that you could find a tattooist to do the work, but really - do a spot test with the ink beforehand. If you get that amount of coverage with something you end up being allergic to - ouch! A constantly firey, itchy back won't make you want to show your work off at the club

Answer 3

There is no glow in the dark tattoo ink, only UV reactive black light ink, made by Chameleon tattoo. Not alot of artists use it though.

Anything put into your skin can cause cancer.
Rubbing shampoo into your scalp can later lead to cancer. People need to get over that crap.
Anyway, yes you can get it put in. My fiance has some of it tattooed into a design he already had on his hand.
I don't think its recommeneded to get a large area of it. You might just try getting it put in little parts of the wings.
I think it'd run you a lot of money to completely fill in your wings anyway.
On top of that it fades really easy so it really isn't worth investing a boat load of money. The ink itself is light and pastel and won't look good on its own in broad daylight.
Plus you'll need to find an artist that carrys it, or will order it, and will tattoo with it.
Might take a little searching.

Answer 5

yes but be careful with that stuff. there have been studies that show it can cause cancer. Its actually black light activated, it doesnt glow in the dark.

Answer 6

Its the UV that causes cancer,more along the lines of skin cancer

Answer 7

I have wings on my back, although i think it would look great i wouldn't do it. you would have trouble finding a tattoo artist to do it and we don't know the long term effects.

Answer 8

i have a friend who is a fighter who has it on his arms and i wouldn't suggest it beacuse it doesn't take very well to skin. you have to get it reinked again and again and again. it sucks and it isn't worth the hassle. it is only uv reactant not glow in the dark

Answer 9

im sure they can..but i never heard of glow in the dark ink b4..and i got 7 tattoos!

Answer 10

who would actually see it though and just think about how it will look when you are old and wrinkly
