Please tell me about it. My nephew is a tattoo artist with no particular type interest and I just watched Blindspot and thought UV ink might give him an edge. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | ||

It's been a long time since I looked into it, back then it was a bit of a niche thing with raver types so many artists didn't stock or work with the ink. I also remember reading that the inks can induce a bad reaction with some people that don't react to normal ink. The other thing I read that put me off was that the ink tended not to last very long, and had a tendency to look blotchy. Anymore, all of that may have changed. * Edit - Looks like the quality of inks have improved quite a bit, they even have a variety of colors now. I say go for it, it's only stocking another type of ink to set him slightly apart from the crowd, so it's not like a huge investment. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

How about invisible ink? It doesn't show up under any kind of light. Only you and God know it's there. A crypto-tat. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||
