i guess it was glow in the dark ink that contained elements not intended for humans and that was toxic. [http://www.whitetigertattoos.com/GlowInTheDark.html](http://www.whitetigertattoos.com/GlowInTheDark.html) although UV ink can be bad as well… here is one brand of UV ink that has material safety data sheets and claims to be safe [http://www.blacklightink.com/uv-blacklight-reactive-tattoos-tattoo-ink.htm](http://www.blacklightink.com/uv-blacklight-reactive-tattoos-tattoo-ink.htm) thread hijack anyone? ---

if u wanna go the way of UV it is HIGHLY recommended(sp?) that you just get a small dot tattoo somewhere where people cant see it, because it reacts different to peoples skin, my friend started to get it done and had a really really bad rash where they started it,and the tattoo person said he wouldnt finish it ---

not a dramatic story… i have always wanted a sun tattoo in the center of my back. after my mom died I wanted to somehow incorporate it… i had draw up a few different things and the center always looked funny since I did not like any face i had ever seen. thats probably why it took so long to get. after i saw a checkered flag online, i tried to figure out how it could be incorporated. that was the idea that was the easiest to transfer to skin i guess. in the red lines, it has “MOM”, “IH”, and “KH” (16 m/o daughter and wifes initials) and i will have to go back in ~9 months to get the next babies initials added.🙂 there is 2 spots left, so if it’s twins, i’m out of room. ---

Nice. Tatoos are very addicting in my opinion. I’ve got 4 so far and plan on more. ---

I didn’t start small… I have a 7" tribal sun/pentacle inbetween my shoulderblades… got it when I was 19… I’m now 26… I need to get it re-colored which I think I’m going to have done this summer when I go to Tennessee to see a friend of mine who owns 3 different tat shops. ---
