A UV
Tattoo MUST be done by an experienced Tattoo
Artist. The inks do not "blend" together
like normal tattoo inks, and they MUST be
done under/in the presence of a UV
Blacklight especially the White ink, which
is virtually invisible on light skin tones
in normal light. Most of the UV inks are not
as "bright" as the normal tattoo inks we
have today. If your looking for both a
bright and colorful tattoo that is also
intense under Blacklights, we recommend
getting the bright tattoo colors first and
letting it heal completely (UV ink and
regular tattoo inks do not mix). Then,
highlight, or accent the tattoo with the UV
inks. The results are stunning!
Cost Of A UV Tattoo
Do expect
to pay a bit more for them. Mainly, there
are two reasons for this increase. 1) UV ink
is much more expensive than standard tattoo
ink. Here is an example: A 2 ounce bottle
of standard tattoo ink costs $10.00 -
$12.00. The same size bottle of UV Ink
costs $20.00. 2) They usually require more
time to do than a regular tattoo. Its
been our experience that since the ink is
thinner, it can be more difficult to work
with and constant checking with a black
light can make tattooing time run longer.
We
sell very small ink sizes that you can
take your ink to a professional
tattooist, and we only sell larger ink
quantities to
Shops and Professionals. Under no
circumstances should you be using
this or any tattoo supplies if
you are not in the Tattoo Trade. Even
highly skilled professional tattooists
of many years agree that the "UV ink
takes more time to work with to get
desired results." This Ink is
definitely not for the untrained.
If
you are offered a UV Blacklight Tattoo
and the studio does not have a Good UV
Blacklight within arms reach, do not do
it. The artist will NEED to check
his/her work UV Blacklight often! If
working with White UV INK - the light
should be on all the time.
UV sources
should be UV-A, preferably 345-400 nM.
Lamps sold for entertainment purposes
usually fall into the safe area. They
should be specifically marked, "Black
Light". Avoid UV lamps designed for
germicidal or other purposes.
