wrist?
My Dad has a Tattoo of a yellow pit viper wrapped around his arm
where would a small uv glowing scorpion look good? cant decide........
The problem with uv glow in the dark pigments is that they're fairly "new" on the market & no one knows what long term effects may result with these chemicals beneath your skin. Also the "glow" effect only lasts for several months to a year.
I thought they lasted longer? Around 1-2yrs for scar to heal then it is invisible unless under uv. I could be wrong though.

There's different brands of uv (glow in the dark) pigment on the market...the longer lasting ones have a higher concentrate of the chemicals that react to uv light.
The point is, they've only been on the market for less than 10 years so no one really knows what carcinogenic qualities they may have in the long run.
As early as the late 70's mercury was being used in some colours...simply because it made vibrant blues & greens.
White tattoos aren't really an alternative. White is really only good for mixing & lightening colours not ideal for colouring on its own. Your own skin pigmentation can easily over-ride the white & once blood mixes, it can heal a dirty "pink-white".
