hell yeah, i know a dude that got tribal on his face, he's in the band five pointe o. shit is crazy on stage with blacklites. when that shit first came out people were getting crazy allergic reactions to the ink.
hopefully they changed their formula, at the time i think there was only two makers of it, like 4 years ago or so.

I do not know about prices yet as far as regular tatt vs. UV....yes they can highlight an existing tatt or can do one entirely in UV (what I am doing) so it looks like a faint scar until you get into a blacklight area...then it lights up.

Are the Inks FDA Approved?
Yes it is.
According to our manufacturer's records, this ink received USFDA approval in 1995 for use in animals, plants and fish for the purpose of tracking migration, growth patterns; breeding habits etc. No other tattoo inks have received approval in this way. Many fisheries use this ink to "mark" the fish in oceans and the ones raised to stock rivers and ponds [the same ones we hunt and fish]. The Crazy Chameleon has on file a letter dated April 3, 1995 from the Division of Programs and Enforcement Policy, USFDA, and addressed the manufacturer of our ink that shows this approval.
Furthermore, our manufacturer is in the process of updating their FDA record status relating to this product to get it listed under FDA approved Tattoo Ink. They are also seeking from said agency an additional notification that is void of any confidential or proprietary information or data [trade secrets, amounts of materials and manufacturing processes] and thus making the papers appropriate for release to the general public.
Remember NO other tattoo ink that we are aware of has any sort of FDA approval. Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink is a HUGE advance in tattoo ink manufacturing and freely lists its ingredients and provides a MSDS sheet.

Do these inks contain EverGlow®?
No!
EverGlow® is what many other companies use to make their ink pigments "glow" - EverGlow® is NOT an additive for tattoo ink - it is not considered safe and has had many adverse reactions when people have used it as such. DO NOT USE ANY PRODUCT THAT CONTAINS EverGlow® for tattooing - that is NOT what the EverGlow® product was intended for!
This is not the only additive that is some companies add to tattoo inks to make the react to blacklight - don't take risks. Blacklight Tattoo Inks are gaining in popularity, and the BIOMETRIX System-1000 ("BMX 1000â„¢") Photonic Marking Formulation Safe Spectral Marking Pigment ("SMP")â„¢ being sold as "Chameleon Tattoo Inkâ„¢" is proven safer than many (if not all) of the normal tattoo inks on the market today - with a track record of over 10 years of absolutely NO adverse reactions.

What is in Crazy Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink
The ingredients of Chameleon UV Tattoo Inks: (PMMA) Polymethylmethacrylate 97.5% and microspheres of fluorescent dye 2.5% suspended in UV sterilized, distilled water with no preservatives or other additives.
The fluorescent dyes are totally NON-carcinogenic, it does NOT contain phosphors, it is NOT radio active, it does NOT glow in the dark.

Is getting a Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink any different than getting one with regular tattoo ink?
The only difference is that the artist may need to be working with a blacklight on for some colors.
Back to Top
Really how safe is Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink?
Given its extensive testing of FDA approval, with absolutely no adverse reactions to it in over ten years, it is all in the proof, this ink is most likely the safest ink on the market.
Here is the bottom line:
- It contains NO phosphors
- It is NOT radio active
- It DOES NOT contain EverGlow
- It does NOT cause cancer
- It has FDA approval as a Spectral Marking [tattoo] Pigment that was developed for use in tracking [tattooing] animals and fish - and yes the same ones we eat, and has been tested and used with NO adverse reaction in humans for over 10 years.
- the florescent dye is completely safe and has NO carcinogen and is human safe and does not spread or “blow out†because the dye is contained and it never even touches the skin because of the PMMA shell.
- the white (clear) does not discolor.
- It is being sold all over the world - and is used almost everyday.
- the inks are taken one step farther than most, as they are UV sterilized (this was being done for shipments to Europe, but we are starting to do it for all shipments.

Why is the name Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink and not it's original name?
*laughs* Well, we could answer the phone "Hello, Crazy Chameleon how can I help you? So you would like to purchase a set of - BIOMETRIX System-1000 ("BMX 1000â„¢") Photonic Marking Formulation Safe Spectral Marking Pigment ("SMP")â„¢" but I think our staff would quit. So we shortened it a bit to "Chameleonâ„¢ UV Tattoo Ink".

I called the guy today who does them this is what he said.. He said it will turn pink like a scar for a couple of months.. and after awhile it will go away.. and you wont be able to see anything... you just have to treat it like a regular tattoo...

I heard its because the ink costs more and it's not that popular(yet). also it is silicon based so you can be allergic to it. that is what my buddy who might be getting one told me. Wow so im like the third person....facts might be a little messed up by now
