And then there is the third category, the people who want to keep their ink virtually invisible in their day to day life, only to showcase it in all its glory under ultraviolet light. Whatever the case, there are a few interesting things you should know about this intriguing tattoos.

More like the mark of the nerd in those two instances.

I’m not much on tattoos but tell you what, that Cheshire Cat is pretty cool.

I have an invisible nose ring that looks like a 55 Buick when a UV light is shined on it.

This bony hand is kinda trippy but I can’t imagine any circumstance where I would be under a UV light.

Tattoo’s are stupid.

Our youngest daughter who is now 38 years old... went through a stage where she got a bunch of tattoos. She tried to hide them from me to begin with. Of course 20 years later they now all look hideous. She married a conservative and they go to a conservative church. The tatts have got to be an embarrassment at this point. Fortunately most of them can be covered with long sleeves and pants or long dresses.

much easier to accept a ‘mark’ when it is only visible using certain techniques.

Doesn’t UV light cause skin cancer?

Ditto.

I’d rather not look at bodies covered with tats. Looks nasty and dirty and germy. Then comes the inevitable piercings and inserts.

A military tat with “Mom” over the heart is ok but that’s it, imo.

A young relative got a Mickey Mouse down yonder. We told him he was a fool for getting a tattoo, the location and a cartoon character. Don’t want to know what it looks like now 30 years later but likely nothing but a black blob. How romantic for his wife.

I would be under a UV light.

You can use a UV flashlight at night to locate tomato worms on your tomato plants....

I had gotten a small tattoo when I was 18 on my forearm. Big mistake as I work in an office. Had it surgically removed at a cost of $500 for two procedures and best $$ I've spent. I can wear short sleeves in the summer now.

What they really need is a standard on inks to make laser removal more consistent. Ink depth is a big factor as well for laser.

Told my kids that if you're going to get a tattoo, get it where only you and your spouse can see it.

Unless advancements in the ink are made, they don't last. I had a UV ink tat on my forearm, done 16 or 17 years ago. Only last about 10 years.

Big mistake as I work in an office

One of my tats is on my wrist. I work in an office and no one seems to care.

UV ink wouldn't be good for that. Until advancements are made in the ink itself, they only last about 10 years. I have/had one done on my forearm about 7 years ago. It's been gone for 7/8 years now.

I get it. It’s more me then them as tattoos are pretty prevalent with younger folks. Just didn’t like the stares or questions.
