getting ready to purchase some ultraviolet ink

[tadt]

awhile ago before the forums got hacked i asked about ultraviolet ink and i was given this link

http://bodyartstores.com/~bodyarts/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?pid=384&cart_id=8333240.13891&ppi=PID

ive checked it out and im about ready to order some up in the next week or so, i dont remember who replied about the ink because the post got deleted so any input on the subject would be appreciated i plan on using the ink on myslef before i use it on a client since its expensive 1/2 ounce for $16, so i know what the results will be before i figure out how much to charge for it.

I heard that ink was dangerous. I know they make it sound ok, but is it?

[tadt]

well i hear its safe and some say its not, i have some friends who have it on there face and stuff and there face hasnt fallen off they just dont know what brand of ink it is and the person that gave me that link used it i just dont know who it was.

[ink_freak]

i did research on some of this stuff.crazy chameleon is prob the safest........but they contain something called everglo=the same stuff used on the lines on the highway to make them illuminate at night.so u decide ....me personnally ill stick with the stuff im used too......heard it was really thin and had to be done under black light.....hard to take colors leaves room for overworking the skin.........but looks cool as hell id like to see some pics once you have used it good luck

Look Bro if you heard its not safe then why would you consider getting them.
I sure am not going to use them! I have heard to many conflicting stories on that shit.

[tadt]

well everyone says the ink with everglow isnt safe, but this stuff doesnt have everglow in it, im just looking for people who have used this before

[JosephBigBear]

I am not trying to piss you off but do you think somthing that you put into the skin that can glow is safe? I never used them but that is why I will never use them.

[FORGIVEN]

scary monsters !!!! ...i wont use it , i'll give 20 more years and wait till we REALLY see the after effects !!! just my opinion :lol: !!!

[grinder dave]

ANYTHING that makes you glow in the dark is not good for you

an i don't care what it says on the bottle

[JosephBigBear]

True GD I was told when this (stuff) first came it was causing skin cancer. I dont know if it is true but when you hear about this shit why would anybody consider it?

[jadefoodog]

lol somehow this really seems like a conversation i had with a conservative reguarding regular tattoos. im not saying anyone is wrong about the glowing thing but this guy was positive that anything that changesd the color of your skin isnt good for you.


but consider this for some medical exams they have to inject you with an ink that glows and thats in your blood stream . i would much rather have it in my skin.


oh and i may be wrong but i belive that under black light its not an acctuall glow but its a conversion of wavelengths of light.. IE same reason white glows under blacklight. in other words its noit a chemicel reaction

but that in no way is ment to lead you to belive that its not bad for you

like everyone said it hasent been tested enuff to know long term effects

[skullman]

Yeah let's put something in our body that is designed for marking fish. Not the greatest idea in the world . :?

[Papa Gee]

The ink isnt really any color when it's not under a black light. From what I've seen it's kind of yellowish brown. I guess if a person lives under a blacklight or in a dance club it might be pretty cool but otherwise.......

[jadefoodog]

yeah i dont like the idea of uv ink either

[stealthninjamark]

damnit. why so much controversy lol?
i have about 6 clients that have been bugging the shit out of me to get this stuff for them. i told them i was unsure about the safety of it and that changed their minds for all of about 30 seconds.
i would like to put some in my skin also, but after hearing all this stuff its a lil scary to think about.
i have heard they use the same pigment in car paint as they do for tattoo ink.
i dont know how tru that is, but how bad could it be?
plus if something goes wrong maybe you could sue? lol you can sue for anything these days!
