Definately not.

Its not been tested properly and a lot of the "UV" tattoo ink contains formaldehyde - which they use to preserve dead bodies

Its unsafe, and just another "fad"

Still looks good though, if they can get it tested properly i'd be tempted.

Why? Because it "looks good"?

Have you seen them when there is no backlight on them?

Absolutely dreadful - like you've been burned or scarred.

Some UV ink contains phosphorous, carcinogens, and allergens and you risk your body rejecting the tattoo. There has been a statistically higher number of reactions and complications with the UV tattoos than with regular tattoos.

If you're gonna have a tattoo, have a real nice regular one rather than something thats just "fashionable" that could cause you no end of problems. :D

It does look a bit like 'Maori' scarring, anything containing formaldehyde or phosphorous is a no-no, would I have one?

over my dead body! :mellow:

Actually no they dont. If a tattoo is done well then they DO NOT got bluey grey and wrinkle. My grandma was heavily tattooed and hardly any of hers went like that - she died aged 79........

It will never be properly certified, because the stuff thats in them that makes them "glow" is only certified for use on fish for scientific fish tracking and is not 100% safe for use on humans

the only tattoo that i currently have is one that i gave myself with a tech pen in drafting class at college. but i would never use any glowing ink.

I do however want to get another tattoo.
