It’s the head of the chair she’s sitting in, covered in some sort of plastic wrap.
One of the nicest UV tattoos I’ve seen yet, but it looks fresh so I wonder how it will look healed.

pretty. I love her UV earring too. I love the look of larger-gauge captives/horseshoes… especially in fun colors.

Every UV tat I see posted makes me want one more and more. I saw one posted in an LJ community I’m in the other day of the Triforce on the back of someone’s hand. I need to read up on the health risks of them so I can make my final decision.

I’ve got a lot of UV work on my hands and face, and for those who are asking what it looks like in normal/regular light, you can’t see it.
Both myself and my girlfriend decided to get some UV work together. I did my face and later my hands and knuckles. She did her knuckles only.
I’m a very light skinned and you cannot notice a thing unless I’m within a few feet of a black light. She is dark skinned and you can’t notice a thing on her. Great stuff and since most UV ink now comes without carcinogens you don’t have to be thinking cancer. Personally, people have been saying that since I was 10, I’m now 30 and I have never heard a case of cancer from UV ink.

>>>first thought: …cancer?
That’s a tad alarmist, not too dissimilar to someone reacting to a standard tattoo with “first thought: infection”.
Have a couple of UV tattoos myself and in normal daylight you can still see subtle markings. I do have dark skin though.

And no disrespect back, but if you have to ask why, aren’t you in the wrong place?
