What do young people think of uv tattoos?

What do you think about uv tattoos? Gimmic? Cheap looking? Awesome? Curious to see what others under thirty think. Before someone yells danger, ask yourself does white glow under uvlight? Uv ink is simply odd color ink and is no different than normal other than the obvious.

OK, absolute LAST question about tattoos: isn’t it rather asking for trouble…?

to get any sort of flames, waves, clouds, or other freehand patterns? Think of our tendency to impose pattern and order on random designs. Know how you can find faces in wood-grain, or images in clouds? And you know how a lot of people draw random designs while they’re on the phone or otherwise zoned-out?

Just seems as though you’re likely to wind up w/ a discernible image you didn’t ask for, straight from the artist’s subconscious, on your very own skin for the rest of your life.

i ask because someone i know has a tattoo of a roaring beast charging out of a bunch of flames, and the random pattern of the flames makes it look like the roaring beast is cradling a small Paris Hilton-type lap-dog under its arm. Once you see the lap-dog, you can’t NOT see it.

Food for thought, people.
Boo: “Isn’t it rather asking for trouble…?” agree or disagree? Why or why not?

Why does everybody ask how many tattoos you have?

The question is how much coverage you have. How many does a Back Tattoo count as? How about full sleeve, how many is that? If I have a Full Back Tattoo, and two full sleeves is that only 3 tattoos?
