What are your opinions (professional tattoo artist) on glow in the dark (phosphoresce) or (fluoresce) pigments, have you, or would you work with these pigments (inks)? Most if not all phosphorescent and pluorescent substances are toxic and carcinogenic. Do u think it is safe for your clients? or would you recommend against?

From the ressearch I`ve already done.

This way you can make up your own mind about.10+years of testing and no negative effects sounds good.

lol yea after researching it I came to that.It would be ok if it didnt show on the skin but it looks like branding.
my mentor actually re-did a floral piece on his left forearm about a year and a half ago with the "clear" UV ink. He said he did it for practice with the inks, but admit's that it wasn't the best decision on his part

I don't ever really go under black light and I go clubbing/go to rock shows alot
10 years of testing is not very long - check out EPA standards, sometimes things like asbestos are latent in the system and they don't show up...30 years down the road you get cancer...with all the millions of toxins out there I would stay away from relatively unknowns (a lifetime of testing would probably be good enough for me since I am thinking about DDT and agent orange and other recent chemical catastrophes...)
