UV tattoos that make you glow in the dark!
Taking a few precautions will help you get the best results from your new body art and avoid side effects, which can include allergic reactions to inks or piercing jewelry, infections caused by unsterile equipment and needles, and scarring.
“Body art is a popular form of self-expression, but people who decide to get a tattoo or body piercing should go to a licensed facility and take time to discuss the safety procedures with the artists working at the shop or tattoo parlor,” says Scott Bryan, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

You’ve been working on a cool design and saving up for your first tattoo. Now it’s time to find a reputable studio and artist who will transfer your artwork from paper to skin.

Keep in mind that a tattoo is effectively permanent, and although it is possible to remove a tattoo, the process is expensive and painful.

I went to Tattoo Peter’s early last year with just a vague idea of what I wanted (a Day of the Dead skull) but Peter came up with a great design and executed it perfectly. The line work and colours were amazing and I can’t recommend the shop highly enough.
Very well done. Went here as this was the only one place I would ever let someone do a tattoo on me. You should be in to hard rock though 🙂
