I'm wanting to get a UV tatoo in green, but I have not been able to find a picture on the internet to see how visible the green ink actually is in actual daylight. Does anyone know of a good site to look at or have seen one in daylight?

The green UV ink will show in normal lighting. Due to the way the ink is, it will look a little washed out. The only one that doesn't show in normal lighting is the white UV ink, but it also depends on your skin tone and how well the artist does your tattoo. If the artist goes over it too much or goes too deep, it will leave you with scarring that will be easier to see. Any of the other colors(e.g. red, blue, green, etc.) will still show in normal light. I have two that were done mostly in the white color, but on one I had a little bit of red added(the eye of my dragon). All you can see in normal light is the red mark from the eye, and if you aren't looking for it, you won't notice it since it's small.

The very experienced tattoo artists I know will not use UV ink. This may demonstrate to you that many of those tattooing with UV have less experience. Less experience also means they don't necessarily have sound tattoo techniques, i.e., they leave some scarring when tattooing. Many UV tattoos can be seen in broad daylight very easily because the outline was done poorly and scarred into the pattern.
No one has clearly demonstrated to me this ink is safe. False claims of FDA approval abound so that puts the company in a bad light as far as I am concerned.

My friend got one of her tattoos outlined in UV ink and her artist is a professional.
Unless you are looking very closely at the skin, you can hardly see anything. I was impressed. Looks badass under blacklight too.
It's all up to you though, we all take a risk when getting a tattoo. All inks can be potentially harmful, it just depends on your body's reaction to them. One ink that may be fine for me could give you an allergic reaction. Just make sure the shop you go to is clean, sterile and professional. Most lower end shops use lower end, cheap inks. So go to a good one, they should give you more qualified advice.
