One of the great ways to stand out from the general mass, express your worldview, open the veil of your inner world, or simply decorate your body in an original way - this is the creation of a tattoo . In the world of tattoo, new trends and trends are constantly emerging. Among the many varieties of tattoos, very original today are neon or ultraviolet tattoos, which began to offer specialized salons relatively recently.
What is a neon tattoo?
Neon tattoo is a natural pattern that glows under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, and under ordinary natural or artificial illumination is invisible. If desired, the picture can be made completely glowing, or the ordinary tattoo is supplemented with ultraviolet elements (for example, a luminous contour is made). Such a tattoo is temporary and, depending on the composition of the material, can last up to several weeks.
This kind of tattoo is an excellent decoration option for those who love club get-togethers. At a disco, in a bar, a nightclub where there are ultraviolet or neon lamps, such a tattoo will certainly attract everyone's attention to its owner.
A significant advantage of a neon tattoo is that even open-minded people can afford such tattoos on open areas of the body, because in an official setting the picture will be invisible.
How is neon tattoo done?
Neon tattoo is applied to the skin with special paints, which contain special luminous pigments. The pattern changes brightness depending on the brightness of the lighting and is noticeable even at a distance of 15 m from the source of UV radiation.
The application of luminous tattoos requires a master of a high level of skill and accuracy. This is due to the fact that the paint for the glowing tattoo is more liquid. The work is carried out under the light of an ultraviolet lamp. The length of the procedure depends on the size and complexity of the picture.
Design of neon tattoos
Neon tattoos assume the creation of any kind and scale of images of different colors. It all depends on your imagination, personal preferences and courage. It can be a simple drawing or a whole picture. But, in any case, the choice of the design of the future tattoo should be approached carefully. It is worth studying the meaning of tattoos, if you want to give the drawing some symbolism.
The tattoo for the girl should be not only original, but also elegant. But it is equally important to decide on which part of the body to perform the image. Most often, girls perform tattoos on their legs ,
After the sketch is selected, it is desirable to clearly see how this image will look on your body. To do this, you can simply print the image you like, cut it out and attach to that area of the body where the tattoo is planned to be applied. Ask someone from your friends to see what effect the future image will have from the outside. Consider that the drawing will "come to life" under certain lighting and look very bright and noticeable.
Is neon tattoo safe?
Such an unusual kind of tattoo in many can cause concern about the composition of paints. However, to date, all used luminous dyes undergo mandatory certification. To be sure of the safety of this procedure, it is best to contact a professional tattoo parlor. It is also recommended that the paint be pre-tested for possible allergic reactions.
