In recent years, tattoos done with special inks that fluoress under UV lighting. These tattoos are difficult (but not impossible) to see under normal lighting conditions. UV ink is a popular ink to highlight already healed tattoos however the ink is difficult to work with because the color is not as bright and it doesnt mix well with other tattoo inks.
