Please do not capilatize every word in your sentances! It makes it hard to
read your posts.
Some artists do not like using blacklight ink, because the ink glows as a
chemical reaction to the light and don't think that reaction is safe under
the skin. I really don't have more info than that.

Is it similar to the liquid they put in those glow sticks? It is
supposed to be nontoxic but I wouldn't want to drink the stuff.

I once was going to soak a white jumpsuit in that stuff for a Halloween
party. A friend's Father was a distributor for a company that made glow
sticks so I had a bunch of them. Although it was supposed to be non-toxic
the jumpsuit was not wearable after being soaked. Although non-toxic in
small doses I was exposed to too much of it. Subcutaneous use of it is
definately something I would not recommend. And glow stick liquid stops
glowing after a few hours. Not a good choice for a tattoo.

Yeah. Being that the stuff only glows for a short period of time it
must be rather different than the stuff that glows when explosed to
light.

My buddy who is an artist has been using it. The ink he uses is actually encapsulated in micro beads. It _sounds_ good, but I certainly wouldn't want to test it on myself. The oldest he has done is about 6 months, they are still good, but that isn't much time yet. *shrug*

Info about the ink he uses:
