Nope, why? hahaha
I just don’t really get the point of UV ink & i am interested in the motivation behind the deed.

why?:
I don’t know her reasoning, but I’m attracted to UV tattoos because of the mystery behind them. I quite like the idea of stepping underneath a black light and having someone’s art appear glowing on my skin. It’s a just a different spin on tattooing.
Granted, the tattoo may not be entirely invisible in regular light, I think it’s an awesome idea, and I love the way this looks. I’ve always wanted a tattoo on my forearm, and after seeing this, I think I’ll find someone who can do something in UV ink.

that looks gorgeous. I love the effect of UV tattoos, and I’m really interested in it. It just seems so dangerous, in the other hand.

It depends on the ink used, most of the time the pigment is deposited directly into the skin, and what makes it glow is carcinogenic.
With Crazy Chameleon ink, the pigment is encased in PMMA which (supposedly) won’t get damaged unless it is frozen (-10 degrees Farenheit). Therefore, it is safe unless you plan on getting your body cryogenically frozen. Even then, if you are brought back to life the ink would still be as safe as (or safer than) any other blacklight-reactive ink.

I got the MSDS sheet from that company when we ordered a bottle of the ink to try out. If you google the ingredients off the MSDS, individually they all state that they have been known to cause cancer. Therefore I don’t see how you can add several different chemicals known to cause cancer together and have it not cause cancer.
I had a few dots done with this ink put on my hand just to see, and it is barely noticable at all in normal light, but it does act up occasionally and I plan on cutting it out when I get a chance just to be on the safe side.

well therorectically u can take like 3 or more known bad unhealthy factors and make them fun and safe like gasoline,road flares, and cotton candy…each on thier own would be very hazzorudous but when put them all togther they are still safer than uv ink …
