When I was little my mum used to say thats wat would happen to try and stop me from swinging to high, so I tried harder cos I thought it would look cool

Before I saw this thread, I didn't even know UV-reactive tattoos existed, but from the fact I found the idea of one drop-dead sexy, I stopped to research the subject.

If anyone's interested, I'd suggest googling 'BMX1000 chameleon blacklight ink'. (I can't post the link I have to the site, since I don't have 25 posts yet...)

From what the website says, it seems other inks could be rather dangerous, but these ones check out. (Well, of course they're going to make it sound that way, but the site doesn't -seem- to be misleading in any way.)

because they want your money xD

as if you'd sell a product that will be harmful and straight out say its harmful... bad marketing that is

[OrganizedKhaos]

They do with alcohol and cigarettes as well as many prescription drugs.

That's cause 1. Legally obligated 2. Enough people are addicted that they don't care/can't stop even if they did, and 3. Cigarettes and Alcohol are such a part of human culture that we we just can't get rid of them.

[OrganizedKhaos]

They still sell the "product that will be harmful and straight out say its harmful"

[DoctorZ]

Only because of 2. and 3.

UV Ink doesn't have those things going for it.

[DoctorZ]

Indeed.

No, really? XP

Tattoos -are- harmful, just not -usually- in the long-term. That doesn't seem to stop, or even deter people...
And tattoos are more a part of human culture than alcohol and cigarettes, depending on your look of 'culture', of course.
Arguably, UV-reactive things are a pretty big thing in culture too.

[DoctorZ]

When I say culture, I mean, out of the six billion humans on our little planet, what percentage drink and smoke, and what percentage have tattoos? More importantly, tattooing is generally concentrated to regions, like the West Coast in north America, and.. Some place in Europe >_>. But Alcohol and cigarettes transcend most "cultural" boundaries.

Of course, I may just be dicking around with ya'll, and are just talking out of my ass.

[Morning Glory]

plus a lot of people that have tattoos smoke also.

I wonder if juggalos are into UV tattoos? most likely. I can just see a glowing hatchet man.

[Thistle Harlequin]
