Blacklight-Reactive Body Art (UPDATE)

Glow in the Dark Tattoos

— October 5, 2008 — Lifestyle
If you want a tattoo but want to hide it during work or while you're with family, then there's now a technique that's perfect for you.

The new technique uses blacklight reactive ink which only shows up when exposed to UV light. It is perfectly safe and has FDA approval. You can now tattoo to your heart's content and no one would ever know--unless you went out to play underneath a blacklight.

Implications - Imagine showing up in a nightclub and having a glowing tattoo? I think that this kind of spectacle would have club-goers going crazy with excitement and envy. It is no wonder there aren't more of these backlight-reactive body art pieces.
Trend Themes
1. Blacklight-reactive Body Art - The trend towards blacklight-reactive body art presents opportunities for tattoo artists to explore new ink technologies and for manufacturers to develop safe and FDA-approved inks.
2. UV Reactive Products - The trend towards UV-reactive products presents opportunities for industries such as cosmetics, hair dyes, and clothing to create innovative and attention-grabbing products.
3. Nightclub Experience Enhancement - The trend towards blacklight-reactive body art presents opportunities for nightclub owners to enhance the experience of club-goers by providing blacklight environments that showcase this kind of body art.
Industry Implications
1. Tattoo Industry - The tattoo industry can capitalize on this trend by exploring new ink technologies to create unique designs that can only be seen under blacklights.
2. Cosmetics Industry - The cosmetics industry can capitalize on this trend by developing makeup products that react to UV light and enhance the beauty of the person wearing it.
3. Nightclub Industry - The nightclub industry can capitalize on this trend by creating blacklight environments that showcase the beauty of blacklight-reactive body art, enhancing the overall club-goer experience.
