As much as I like pumpkin carving, normally I think Chris’s Halloween-themed chestpiece wouldn’t jump out at me as a piece to feature, but when I saw how the UV ink in it has been applied, I changed my mind! I love it how the UV is a way to augment the tattoo with something new, a hidden element that can only be appreciated in the right environment. It was done by Alex Miller at Local Color in West Chester, PA.

First, it’s a fantastic tattoo. Second the UV makes it even better. Love it!!!
sorry to seem so non-constructiv… but its not:
I just cant imagine how you could put such a pair of silly -awfully designed- halloween pumpkins forever on you chest. He hates him?, made that piece when he was 12 and drunk?
Sorry, it has to be told, and I would very happy to discuss it, but for me it is just like you dont respect your body enough to think twice before inking the first “oh thats cool” crappy artwork in it.

chest pieces become more and more elaborated and that’s cool!
I wouldn’t trade my plain one for anything else but it’s very interesting to see what others went for.

That is such an awesome use of UV ink… very cool. The only thing I find disappointing about UV ink is that I do not frequent clubs or places that have UV light, so if I had a tattoo with it, nobody would ever see it.

that’s a nice detail. i don’t frequent clubs enough to get any UV ink, which is something i’ll have to change. 🙂

PS. Note the glowing red nose done in the different kind of UV.
I agree that it’s not the best quality work in terms of the tattoo, but I love the way the UV has been integrated, which. I also think it would be easy enough to correct it by beefing up some of the linework and so on.

A couple of touch ups and he’ll be golden. It’s not amazing but it COULD be older work with UV added to spice it up.
