UV Tattoo Scarring

     Many people are attracted to UV tattoos because they are commonly thought to be invisible in normal light.  While in some cases, this can be true, in most cases scarring of varying degrees does occur. The severity of scarring is dependent upon a multitude of factors, including the ink type, your skin type,  the location of the tattoo on your body and the skill and degree of heavy-handedness 

of the artist. These are things you may want to consider when deciding the placement of your 

tattoo.  I wouldn't go tatting up my face assuming it would be invisible in normal light, because chances are, the scars will still  be there.  Below are two examples of scarring. Keep in mind that in the first photo, the tattoo looks fairly new.  In the second photo though, there's barely any scarring.
