Only the plain white ink which looks like water under normal light and reacts in the same way a white T-shirt does under UV lights becomes almost invisible, all other colours are visible under normal lighting conditions, they are just not very bright and vibrant. The approval given by the FDA is for their use on animals that are consumed by humans, no tattooing ink black light reactive or otherwise has been FDA approved for use on humans.Īnother common assumption with the UV tattoos is that they are invisible under normal light, they are not. However this approval is not for their use in tattooing humans.
BLACK LIGHT INK TATTOO FOR LIVESTOCK SKIN
There have been issues with some of the older UV inks leading to serious health issues but the newer inks made by either Crazy Chameleon or Skin Candy are much safer and have been approved by the American FDA. When I tell people about my UV tattoos a lot of people assume they are glow in the dark, they are not, products that glow in the dark contain phosphorous and having this injected into your skin would almost certainly lead to cancer. UV tattoos or black light tattoos have been around for a while but are still not very common.
