Distinct and eye-catching look that sets them apart from traditional tattoos
These tattoos glow, particularly striking in UV light
Some people use glow-in-the-dark ink to represent hidden meanings or messages that are only visible in the dark
Perfect for events, parties, and festivals, where the vibrant glow can complement the atmosphere
Phosphorescent Inks absorb light and glow in the dark after being exposed to a light source
These tattoos glow under UV light but appear more subdued in normal lighting. They can be a great option for those who want a subtle daytime look that transforms at night
Can be added as a highlight to any tattoo- tribal, geometric, floral, and even realistic portraits. This versatility allows for personal expression and creativity
Popular placements for glow-in-the-dark tattoos include areas that are more visible in the dark, such as the arms, legs, neck, and back
Glow-in-the-dark tattoos are tattoos made with vivid, fluorescent colors that are quite difficult to see in daylight. These types of tattoos don’t quite live up to their names, though: They won’t simply glow when you turn off the lights. (Science hasn't gotten that far yet.) Instead, glow-in-the-dark tattoos generally require a black light to trigger the glow-like reaction due to the UVA light it emits
Glow-in-the-dark tattoos offer the same expressive art form as other tattoos with the added bonus of being far less common. While you may find others sporting the same tattoo designs in regular ink, the chances decrease substantially with glow-in-the-dark styles. As we mentioned, most glow-in-the-dark tattoos only glow under a black light. So, this tattooing technique is perfect for any of these three reasons: if you don't want to have an especially visible tattoo; if you want to be the life of the (dimly-lit) party; or if you want to add a bit of spice to a regular tattoo
Aftercare is crucial for optimal results:
- Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
- For the first few days, keep the area dry and avoid getting it wet. This includes avoiding swimming, sauna, and excessive sweating.
- Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
- Apply any aftercare ointment or healing balm provided by your technician.
- Avoid sun exposure and swimming for the first 4 weeks.
- Protect the treated area from direct sunlight. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use a physical sunscreen once healed, as sun exposure can fade the pigments.
- Avoid exfoliating products, scrubs, or procedures (like chemical peels) in the brow area for at least 4-6 weeks post-treatment, as they can cause fading and irritation.
- Minimize strenuous activities and excessive sweating for the first week to allow the area to heal properly
