Got Ink? **DU WARNING**

[Inknsteel]

I have friends who got blacklight tattoos on the backs of their hands right after the FDA approved the ink. It shouldn't hurt any more than the any other tattoo as the process of applying the tattoo is the same. As for the safety factor, I don't think there have been any long term studies done on these. I can't say one way or the other as far as that goes, but I can tell you that is why a lot of artists won't use these inks. Also, tattooing with an ink that goes on transparent would be a pain. You wouldn't be able to see what you've already done...

This weekend should be it! Though I have been feeling ill with a sinus problem.. might put things onhold. But I finally roped my husband down for the day tentatively to tattoo me. You'd think that being married to a tattoo artist, it is easy to get tattooed?? Nope! Gotta wait for some free time, and that is pretty nonexistant. But here is the concept of what I am getting, on my left upper arm. I was against colorful tats until I saw the AWEsome work that some women get on their arms.. I want that!
I drew this. I plan on changing her to being astride the horse as opposed to sidesaddle, and maybe shortening her hair a tad. Self portrait..

I found a pic that somewhat shows some of my husband's tat!

It's been over a year since my last tattoo... needing another one b-a-d-l-y!
Last count is 21... over 40 hours of ink. I'm working on full sleeves, but also have work done on my calves, back, and chest.
My husband is trying to catch up...
