When I was a teen, I considered getting a tattoo. I grew out of that urge, and eventually became glad I never got one, although there've been a few times I've become tempted again.
Never quite so much as I was when I saw this, however. Behold a UV tattoo:
Does this prove I'm still young at heart? Ye-ah...probably only that I'm a geek to the core.
I'm so NOT going to show this to my 16 year old. He would be asking for a tattoo immediately. I have a couple of tats myself, and I don't regret them at all. In fact, I'd like to get a few more but they're too costly. Thanks for sharing though. I have to admit this is pretty cool.
Eric: Part of the allure of this one, for me, is that if done carefully, the ink is mostly invisible in normal light. Just think--your 16 year old could be covered in tattoos without having to worry about whether it affected his job prospects in the future! :D
CKHB: Ooh, ooh! I've been thinking for a few years that an all-white tattoo (on my pale skin, at least) could be very subtle and pretty. Thank you for pointing me in the direction of an example of one!
Sylvia: I know; isn't it just cool? So tempted...

Hope I haven't really been 'fected by the tattoo urge...

I've seen this before and LOVE it. UV ink, or white ink.
OK, I think I've just been tempted by a tattoo for the first time since 1987.
This is very cool...

Oh, this is fantastic.
It's a shame you can't tattoo eyeballs. Glow in the dark eyeballs would be freaky.
Whirlochre: Uh, Whirl? You can tattoo eyeballs.
