Hot Black Light, UV Tattoos
Black Light Tattoos
Black light of UV tattoos have become one of the hottest tattoos desired by those pursuing to have some ink on their bodies, and from the images below, you'll see why they're so compelling to some.
There are some obvious limitations to black light tattoos in that they are very dim in daylight and difficult, and in some cases, impossible to appreciate and see, unless viewed with a black light.
One very compelling aspect of this type of tattoo design is when it's combined with traditional tattoo ink. The two together can look very cool.
A consideration when thinking about black light tattoos, is in some cases the design will leave some scarring on the body, and it isn't always a surety that it will be hidden in daylight hours, even if it is lighter.
So if you're thinking of it being completely invisible, that may not be the case, so you have to be careful not to have it inked in a place where it could have a negative impact on your life, such as when interviewing for certain jobs, etc.
Finally, black light tattoos are more expensive to have etched in your skin, and will take longer to apply. Keep that in mind when going over the variables related to making a decision.
