HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?!

I TRUELY LUV THE CONCEPT OF THE BLACK LIGHT TATTOOS, BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS BEFORE GETTING ONE: LIKE HOW LONG DOES THE LIQUID FROM THE TATTOO GLOW? AND IS IT HARMFUL TO CERTAIN TYPES OF SKIN OR COMPLEXIONS? GET AT ME! THANX, BORAH

I dont think anyone really knows the long term effects of blacklight ink. I dont know of any professionals who actually use it. It seems like anything that reacts to blacklight that gets put into the inks cant be that good for you at all. I would recommend staying away. With regular inks and the right artist you can produce some amazing "effects" though...

I have heard now that its safe on all types of skin! but more expensive. the ink is in tiny cases so its not in direct contact! i've heard DJ

from my knowledge blacklight reactive ink is filled with phospherous, witch will completly react badly with you skin. blacklight ink is for douche bags, so don't be a douche bag. on the other hand any color that is bright enough like neon green,orange,yellow,maybe even blue will show up under a black light.even white. but it doesn't even matter,blacklight ink is still for douche bags. good luck

Keep in mind that Black light ink is what it sounds like. It glows under a black light, and at no other time. As a matter of fact the color ink tends to look a bit thin without a black light. Meaning a bit duller than regular ink. As for reacting poorly under the skin. I've only done a handful of tattoos using a bit of the ink in the tattoos. And have never seen a reaction. But that's not to say it couldn't happen. Everyone is different, and it could happen. There are people who react badly to the pigment we use on others every day, unfortunately you don't know till its in you. As for the amount of time the black light effect lasts, I've had a bit on me for the past 7 years, and it still reacts to black light. As for the previous post, if you don't have any thing viable to say than don't post. Insulting people just shows how much of a dopey bastard you are... JOE

Just along with what the previous person said about it lasting, i would think that wouldn't be a problem. the ink won't sink into your skin, it will stay at the surface, and therefore glow. I guess it's like, no matter how long you have a white shirt, it will glow under black light because white glows under black light. So, no matter how long you have a certain ink in you, it's still that ink, and it would still react...does that make sense?
