Think about the invisible stamps that clubs put on your hands when you pay to go in. The UV tattoo ink works like the ink of those stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big difference between UV tattoo ink and traditional tattoo ink is the lack of FDA approval. There have not been enough studies on these inks performed to convince the FDA that the ink is safe or not safe to use.

Although the ingredients the majority of companies use to create this ink are non-toxic the FDA has not approved UV inks. There are not sufficient studies to prove the ink is safe, so until these studies have been conducted, we cannot actually give a definite yes or no to this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-do-uv-ink-tattoos-last\"><strong>How long do UV ink tattoos last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expect a UV tattoo to retain its ability to grow anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. The lasting ability of the ink depends on the ink and the ingredients it contains. Another huge factor in how long these ink designs will continue to be glowing under UV light is the amount of aftercare you give it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-uv-tattoos-cause-cancer\"><strong>Can UV tattoos cause cancer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the UV tattoo ink you are using does not contain phosphorous you do not have to worry about the ink being carcinogenic. Most of the tattoo inks that glow under the light of a blacklight do not contain phosphorous. The inks that contain this cancer-causing agent are usually promoted as glowing in total darkness and not glowing under UV light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UV tattoo ink can be used to highlight an existing tattoo by going around the outline using UV ink. You can use the invisible fallout inks or you can use one of the amazing colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking to put a glowing tattoo on that will only be visible under a blacklight we recommend that you try the Mom\u2019s Nuclear UV Tattoo Ink in Invisible Fallout. It is invisible to the naked eye and when you expose it to a blacklight you will have a glowing blue design that looks stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to have a colored tattoo that glows completely, we recommend the Bloodline 6 Color Tattoo UV Ink Highlight Set. The colored inks are visible all of the time and when you expose them to blacklights they glow in their true to color forms. Only the white is invisible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Top 5 Best UV Tattoo Ink Reviews in 2022 - Painful Joy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/best-uv-tattoo-inks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Top 5 Best UV Tattoo Ink Reviews in 2022 - Painful Joy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/best-uv-tattoo-inks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Painful Joy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-08-16T07:51:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-29T11:22:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tattoo-using-UV-tattoo-ink.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"169\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Amelia Berley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Amelia Berley\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"11 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/best-uv-tattoo-inks\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/best-uv-tattoo-inks\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Amelia Berley\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/painfuljoy.com\/#\/schema\/person\/908462d88330cf7f4654465603ae4284\"},\"headline\":\"Best UV Tattoo Inks in 2022 \u2013 Reviews &#038;
