Cool UV Tattoo Ink
I’m not a huge fan of tattoos, although I do like looking, (especially at nice looking, tastefully done “tramp stamps“). However, this is pretty cool.

It’s ink that only shows up under black light. From what I can tell from the gallery, it’s FDA approved as a marking pigment for use in tracking animals and fish, this is in contrast with most tattoo pigments which are apparently not regulated at all (and that’s pretty much the way everyone likes it. Who needs more government regs?). Richie Streate, the artist here, says it’s been used for over 10 years in humans with no adverse effects.
Richie’s shop is Electric Soul Tattoo in Lancaster, California.

Just to set things straght. I have only been using the UV Ink for three years. If you would like to know about the ink or how to get it go to Crazychameleonbodyartsupply.com.
Please enjoy my pictures on my gallery and check out all the other work there. There are some great artist on the site.
Thanks to all, Richie……

OK, it’s been for sale for 10, but you have only used it for 3 years. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks, for dropping by and thanks for the use of the photo too.
