Tattoos Continued.

Scarification

Scarification can be done in many ways, here are just as few:

1. With a Tattoo Machine: This is done by over tattooing and area with either no ink at all, or with an abrasive formula, the skin then heals to leave a fairly light scar.

2. Branding: Via the application of heated metal onto the skin, the burn will eventually scar, leaving a pattern of raised lines which should be slightly lighter than the skin colour once fully healed.

Above is an example of Scarification through Branding.

The image on the left is one day old and the image on the right is one year later.

I would of shown more, however as much as I love piercing and tattoos, scarification creeps me out, big time.

Ultra Violet Tattoos

In my opinion, UV Tattoos can be absolutely beautiful…in UV light. However, UV tattoos do not look so hot when in normal light.

Though, as pretty as they may look when glowing nicely under a Black light, their health safety is at question and research is being carried out on whether or not these tattoos lead to cancer. Though of course, not everyone will have a bad reaction, like everything in life, sometimes just don’t suit everyone.

Above is an example of an Ultra Violet tattoo.
On the left you can see the tattoo in normal daylight and on the right, the tattoo under a black light. I have got to say that this is one of the few tattoos I have come across where I actually prefer the look of the tattoo in the daylight compared to the black light.

And here is an example of an Ultra Violet tattoo which I think is absolutely beautiful.
