So you’ve made the decision… You want a Tattoo!
You probably fall into one of two main groups. You know exactly what you want or, more than likely you just have an idea. Trust me, that’s only half the battle! Or how about if you have no idea at all and a Tattoo is on your Bucket List? You will need to find an artist that can transform your vision into Body Art.
I don’t know about you, but because I can’t draw worth a SH@!. I had to spend countless hours on the web searching for perfect images to capture my grand ideas. Once that perfect image is found, who do I get to PERMANENTLY place it on my body? That’s right; I need to start a whole new search. It’s amazing to me how limited the WORLD WIDE WEB can seem! I have always thought how stupid it is that there is not a site devoted to artists and their work. If there was only ONE searchable site with ratings and reviews for Tattoos and Artists. Well, my friends, it has arrived! Welcome to TatSearch.com

UV Tattoos
The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has not yet approved UV Inks for human cosmetic purposes. But traditionally the FDA does not regulate tattoo inks or pigments.
UV Tattoo Ink is much more expensive than regular tattoo ink. This will of course raise the cost of getting a UV tattoo. There also have been reactions to the inks, ranging from minor itching to dermatitis. Several UV inks are suspected to contain carcinogens and allergens. More testing needs to be conducted as to side effects and long-term exposure. Many people have received UV tattoos and never had any side effects or reactions.
