UV Tattoos
This method is still new and studies have only been done on them for the past 10 years. However if applied properly they are permanent and 100% undetectable. It has to make one wonder, why have it removed at all?
There are two types of UV tattoos: Glow in the Dark and UV reflective ink. Glow in the dark ink contains phosphor which is a substance that radiates visible after being energized by a light source. This ink has yet to be approved by the FDA since phosphors are known cancer causing substances. To make this ink visible, radio active substances must be added. UV reflective inks are also known as black light tattoos. Black light ink actually has been approved by the FDA since the ink contains material that’s fluorescent. Fluorescent colors do not contain phosphors. Still safety concerns remain. The chemicals used to create this ink have had too many reports of skin problems. Most everyone who’s had this ink applied to their skin has had a reaction to it in a negative way.
Many people look to laser treatments to remove these inks. The wide range spectrum allows the lasers to match correctly to the unique ink, breaking up the pigments and allowing the particles to be removed by the body’s immune system. The best laser to remove these tattoos would probably be the Vera Pulse C. This laser is the only one that offers multiple wavelengths to correspond with the unique color schemes and components of glow in the dark ink and black light ink. These tattoos are the most popular among teens, college students and party goers. Good luck if you are a good candidate for this procedure because there aren’t too many tattooists around willing to inject this ink into your skin. There's still too many risks involved with this ink to know for a fact the best ways to apply it and remove it. But think about it, do you really want to go through all that trouble if no one can see them?
