Have you ever come across this

They look fantastic and would get over the problem of visible ink and employers, just wondered what they were like close up.

According to our manufacturer's records, this ink received USFDA approval in 1995 for use in animals, plants and fish for the purpose of tracking migration, growth patterns; breeding habits etc.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">While it is great that this ink is safe and FDA approved for animals, plants and fish, it is not FDA approved for humans. So what it all boils down to is the reaction the human will have to it. Much like your standard “glow in the dark” tattoos, there could be and have been some very serious side effects ranging from minor itching to dermatitis. Several UV inks are suspected carcinogens and allergens along with various UV inks becoming discolored or completely visible to sun exposure. The allergen alone should be a good warning for not getting it, as you would not want to walk around with a 24/7 allergic reaction, which would result in removal of the tattoo and thus more out of pocket expenses. Until FDA approval for humans, I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone.
