18 Sci‑Fi Tattoos That Are Visible in UV. They Glow Like Neon Signs

More and more people look for some original ways of body decoration. One of them is tattoos gleaming in the darkness.

Ultraviolet patterns are made in exactly the same way as the standard ones. Instead of regular ink, a thicker and fluorescent ones are applied, though. That is why they look nothing special at day, but at night or whenever UV illuminated they become true glowing masterpieces!

Interestingly, there are tattoos that are almost invisible at day and show up only when it gets dark.

UV tattoos are an interesting option for those who can’t show their tattoos at work but would like to ‘unveil’ them while partying. Although the making process is slightly longer, the tattoo heals almost just as quickly.
