Whats the point if no one can see them?

Unless your names Otacon

I'm not really a fan of tats for a few reasons:

a) one day you'll probably regret having it done
b) when you get old and your skin loses it's elasticity they look saggy and crap
c) I think in some lines of work (professional services etc) they don't really suit the environment you'll be working in, they convey a negative image generally.

UV tattoos get around all of those.... They look funky on a night out, but by day nobody would ever know, and when you get old and wrinkley you just ignore places with UV light (going to clubs when you're 50+ isn't exactly that common is it!)

What the hell is up with this fascination of this so called Otacon.


Anyways cool tattoo's, very cool. Would love to get one but i dont think i could handle the pain of a tattoo needle.

ive planned on getting one of these for a while, trouble is that few inks are certified, ill have to ask around up here and see if anyone does the non cancerous ink

would look great for clubbing

hedge - so which tatoo inks are carcinogens? decent artists will only use FDA approved inks, and as far as i'm aware there is no reason to believe that tattoos 'cause cancer' - at all

Looks like eczema and rather minging. I wouldn't have it done.

i read once that only certain UV inks were certified.

uv ink is essentially just microscopic beads under the skin. its perfectly possible that some of these inks might be dodgy

If this degenerates into a pro/con tattoos thread, I'll have the dons close it. That's not what it was intended for. I'd never get a tattoo myself, but I still think those ones look cool. I was just sharing, not looking for an argument about tattoos. If you want that, start another thread.

There were MAJOR problems with UV/blacklight inks for many, many years. Some people had no reaction, some had a mild reaction and some just got the feeling that this stuff should not be in my skin.

Nowadays, the UV ink itself is contained within what is essentially a TINY plastic bead, preventing it from coming in contact with the body.

Time will tell whether or not it remains safe but I think they can look great.

From the website:

- It contains NO phosphors
- It is NOT radio active
- It DOES NOT contain EverGlow
- It does NOT cause cancer
- It has FDA approval as a Spectral Marking [tattoo] Pigment that was developed for use in tracking [tattooing] animals and fish - and yes the same ones we eat, and has been tested and used with NO adverse reaction in humans for over 10 years.
- the florescent dye is completely safe and has NO carcinogen and is human safe and does not spread or “blow out” because the dye is contained and it never even touches the skin because of the PMMA shell.

That skeleton one looks excellent. I'd like to get an all-over C3PO tat and then do some naked poppin at my local nitespot.

Think I've found a place in Rochdale that might do them. Cool, was wondering what to get myself for my 30th and this might just be the thing.
