Fluorescent (black-light / UV) Tattoo?
im planning to have my tattoos retouched, and im thinking of using fluorescent or uv ink…ive heard that its still unsafe and may cause skin irritations or even skin cancer…how true is it?????
I don’t know if those cancer scares are backed up by scientific data but I will tell you that if you are touching up a tattoo, UV ink cannot be seen under normal light conditions and it would not really touch up the tattoo. The UV properties also fade over time so to me, pretty worthless. There is no safe fluorescent ink for tattooing.

Skin Cancer Experts Share Preventative Tips at Recent Dermatology Nurses Association Conference
DATELINE: COHASSET AND PLYMOUTH, MASS…
The duo shared their expert knowledge of sun safety and melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) prevention with more than 100 DNA members at the DNA’s 27th Annual Convention held in San Francisco on March 6th.
They discussed how skin cancer is most commonly caused by overexposure to sunlight, or artificial UV radiation and recommended that everyone follow SunAWARE, an acronym coined by Mary and John Barrow, authors of Sun Protection for Life: Your Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy and Beautiful Skin. SunAWARE stands for:
-
Avoid unprotected UV exposure any time and seek shade
-
Wear sun protective clothing including hats and sunglasses
-
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen prior to UV exposure and reapply every two hours
-
Routinely check your whole body for changes in your skin and report suspicious changes to a health care practitioner.
-
Educate your family and community about sun protection.
Dr. Eisen taught that anyone can develop melanoma anywhere on their body and that new and changing moles should be evaluated. He also shared five tips on how to identify potentially dangerous moles or melanomas:
-
Moles that are asymmetric, where one side of the mole does not match the other.
-
Moles that have edges that are irregular, ragged or blurred.
-
A mole that has more than one color, with shades of black, brown, red, white, blue or tan.
-
Moles that are larger than a pencil eraser.
-
Moles that bleed, itch or change in appearance.
“Certain types of moles have a higher risk of becoming malignant melanomas. Melanoma can be deadly because it can spread to other parts of the body. But, it may be cured in its early stages. It’s very important to take preventative measures such as those outlined in SunAWARE and to watch for changes in the skin and follow up on questionable or changing moles with a dermatologist as soon as possible,” explained Dr. Eisen.
Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation
The Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation, located in Hingham, Mass., delivers a comprehensive sun safety and melanoma awareness program, free of charge, to school children in Massachusetts. Led by Maryellen Maguire-Eisen, RN, MSN, the Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation’s “SunAWARE” program is delivered to children in elementary and secondary schools and teaches both skin cancer prevention and early detection. The foundation has won the 2009 American Academy of Dermatology Gold Triangle Award for their two new children’s books, Pretty Prom and Lake Vacation.

Any tattoo shopss in NC that do UV blacklight please answer?
Any shops in NC that have experience doing these? I am wanting to get one done. I am near Raleigh but am willing to drive up to 2 hours in ANY direction. If you know a clean place please let me know.
Yes I am well aware that it COULD cause problems, no ink is approved by the FDA for human use. I am getting a very small one at first to see how my body reacts, if its good then I will get more work done. I have done my research so.. Please no trying to talk me out of it unless you have proof is causes cancer or people are dyeing left and right that use it.
