    Anyone know of anywhere in Ireland that has fluorescent (uv sensitive) ink?

    No, glow in the dark ink and uv ink are completely different things. I know one person who has a uv tattoo.

    Google turned up some interesting stuff including this http://www.enemytattoo.com/black.html

    Just a word of advice to you. UV ink is pretty dodgy-it tends to cause a lot of allergies which you have to go through a whole topical antibiotic course for, and it also tends to fade more easily over time. You are better off sticking with regular ink. If you try Zulu on Crown Alley you should be able to get it there. Ask for Sean.

    I would not trust any tattoo artist who would use UV or glow in the dark inks on a customer given their very bad press!
    MOST people will have an allergy to this kind of ink, sometimes it will only occur if you expose the tattoo to the sun, but still...AVOID

    Zombie thread!!!

    Seriously though, I know a poster on this forum had UV tattoos done, and they looked pretty well.

    So far as I know, he had to obtain his own inks for the artist to use, and a blacklight for the artist to see what they were doing too. Involved a lot of homework into the best ink.
