Default Blacklight INK tattoos?

Here is a link I found with some awesome pics and a bit of explantion. Last time I researched this stuff i heard that results were hit and miss and it could end up looking really horrible. Anyone seen this in person or know anything else about it?

if done correctly they come out awesome. I have seen the work being done, by 2 different artists. One being a good friend, that taught the other, the other being my son.

ink is on the expensive side, thats the trick is to get GOOD ink for the job. and it goes bad if not stored properly. thats what causes most of the bad glow or finished work

I saw an ad for that when I was browsing through the escort magazine while drinkin beers at the Candy Store

I am so thinkin about that stuff, but then again, do I really want my tatoos showing through my shirts when exposed to blacklight?

I'm wondering how that will look in like 10 years though when those nice sharp crisp lines start to fuzz and bleed a little.

I see it being a pretty darn cool thing now but in 10-15 years its just going to look like a huge glowing blob on your body.

I don't really see the point of them. I mean, you get tattoos so that you and other people around you can enjoy them. not so that you can only see them when your in a club or something. i think doing the outlining of a normal tattoo would be cool so that you could still see the tatt under normal lighting but when you're in the flourescent light it'd make the tatt stand out more.
