i'm looking for a profesionals opinion on whether or not it is safe to have a uv tattoo. i have read that it has in the last few years become as safe as any other ink but then hear that it is also a toxin. Also what is the avereage life of a uv tattoo? thanks

First of all, I would never support an ink company that has repeatedly stated lies that their tattoo ink is FDA approved. IT IS NOT!
They put through something to the FDA and got a letter back that they quote from, but guess what? It is APPROVED for marking FISH!
Yeah, NOT for human tattooing. The FDA doesn't approve any ink for the purpose of traditional or cosmetic tattooing.
Other than that, I have heard that does not last very long.

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, and if that happens the irradiated chemical will be released into your body. Every body breaks down chemicals and toxins at its own rate, which is one of the reasons why tests are so inconclusive . 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.
Besides that many people are unhappy with the resuts because scarring from the tattooing proceedure itself (badly trained artists only not everytime) means the tattoo can be seen in ordinary light as well as adverse reactions to the ink giving it a purplish tinge. Most artists are wary using it simply because we dont want to be blamed for your unhappiness with a piece over something we didnt choose.

Ive heard there safe just like normal ink. But that they do fade easily! Try www.bmezine.com.
Try asking a few studios to get there opion and grill them a bit!

im not a professional but ive read alot on it. some people say its totally safe but others say that its not. the glow in the dark stuff is probobly not too safe. it hasnt been out long enough for anyone to really know. but i think a little bit of it isnt bad

i had it done in 03. i got a tat of my little boy in the form of an angel with clouds and the uv light is around his wings and halo and the cloud with his name. i have not noticed any effects of this. the glow just fades a little over the years...

I enquired into this last week , its not actually legal in Uk yet (licensed UK tatttooists wont use it) but they use it in USA, no tests have been done yet to check for cancer causes, but it is readily available to buy on ebay
