UV

any input? suggestions? issues? etc.

It should go in just like any other ink, the problem is that you can’t see it very well. I believe you can get a UV light that mounts to your machine though, which will help you quite a bit. Also, no one really knows the long term effects of a UV ink because they are relatively new to the tattoo world so it is a risk.

you can use any black light that you can use on a mount
or buy a regular black light UV light
you can get them from hildbrant http://www.tattoomachienequipment.com
there is a big controversy about em but i find they are fine. glow in the dark ink is bad though
the white for uv is invisible i believe. unless white and invisible are two different inks
the coloured one will always show, but will glow under UV

This stuff is invisible, normally, although there’s always a chance you will be able to see it faintly anyways.

Everything else, is just like Ram said, color normally but glows under a blacklight

yeah if not done perfectly you could cause scarring which would make it always visible
