Ultraviolet tattoos. From United Press International:
MILWAUKEE, May 8 (UPI) -- Ultraviolet tattoos are the latest thing in the United States for those who want to live a double life as buttoned-down professional and disco demon.
The ultraviolet ink creates designs that are invisible under ordinary light, although observers might see some signs of scarring, and come alive under the black lights often found on dance floors, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
William Scherbarth, owner of the Electric Ink tattoo parlor told the newspaper some people also get UV additions to existing tattoos not because they want to hide anything but because they want a design that gains something under black light. For example, eyes that glow and a tongue of flame could be added to a dragon.
But the most common reason appears to be the desire to have tattoos without having to wear concealing clothing at work.
"Some jobs frown upon tattoos that are visible," said Caitlin Sabel, who, unknown to those who see her on the job, has "regret" on one wrist and "nothing" on the other. "I wouldn't want to have to cover them up all the time."

That's kinda neat. It would be cool to use the UV ink to enchance a tattoo already there.. like they suggested with the glowing eyes or flame.

A friend of mine has one... I've never seen it though... because I don't have UV eyes.
Maybe she's bullshitting me.
I should tell people I have a huge battleship tattooed on my chest... in UV ink.

I would hold back, there has been evidence linking the uv ink to being extremely carcinogenic. Most legit tattoo artists right now refuse to adopt the process because the ink is thought to be so toxic.

Truth.
I can tell my girlfriend how to deal with an issue OVER AND OVER AND OVER again but until Oprah tells her the same exact thing, she won't listen.

It was a joke!! No but seriously, Is it proven to be toxic, or is it just a concern?
