Q. Are blacklight tattoo inks safe?
A. A. BIOMETRIX System-1000 ("BMX 1000") Photonic Marking Formulation
USFDA Approved Spectral Marking Pigment ("SMP") being sold as
"Chameleon Tattoo Ink" were created to be the safest, most
biocompatible tattoo inks on the market today. The way they are
manufactured puts the ink molecules in a little shell that is
biocompatible, and the ink never touches your skin. The uv reactive dye
itself is non-carcinogenic, and totally biocompatible. The shell around
the dye is made of the same material as is used in many medical implants
(replacement hips, etc). The shell provides you with a longer color life
than normal than tattoo inks and makes it even more biocompatible since
the dye itself never touches the skin. This is literally the safest
tattoo ink on the market.
Given its extensive testing for FDA approval in 1995 for use in plants,
animals and fish for the purpose of tracking migration, growth patterns;
breeding habits. And being used as a Tattoo Ink in Humans for over 10
years 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. This ink is being sold and used all over the world in
professional tattoo studios every day.
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 USFDA approval as a Spectral Marking [tattoo] Pigment that was developed for use in tracking 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 use everyday
- the inks are taken one step farther than most, as they are UV sterilized (this was being done for shipments to Europe, but now it is done for all shipments.)
- the inks are MRI safe
Q. Are the Inks FDA Approved?
A. Yes they are. 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.
Q. How long will they last? Will they fade?
A. It will last longer than you do. The only way the ink can be broken down is by becoming completely frozen (-10 degrees), so unless you're planning on being chryopreserved after death the inks are perfect for anyone. The inks will be just as bright and brilliant when you die as they were the day they were tattoo'd. The longest test currently is over 60 years, and the inks are still glowing like they were the day they were put on.
Q. Can you use the UV inks OVER an existing tattoo?
A. Indeed you can. It is best to do your regular tattoo first, all the colors, leaving the spots you want the UV to be the brightest uncolored. Then when healed, go in and have your artist fill the spots for the UV, and go over into the colored areas that you want some UV to show, so that it blends in nicely and looks great in regular light.
Q. Can you see the blacklight tattoos under normal light?
A. Yes! Only the Titanium White UV Ink becomes virtually invisible when healed. However, depending on the skin tone, UV white does start to show up as the skin gets darker. The other colors stay beautifully vivid and bright under normal light!
Q. What about scarring?
A. If your artist has never used these inks before, the first time can be difficult. The ink itself will not cause scarring, but if it is done too deep or too much, the process can result in light scarring. If you're worried about this, have your artist practice with the ink elsewhere on your body first! (see next question for more details)
Q. Do they work just like any "normal" ink?
A. Tattooing with this ink is a bit strange. (Our tattooists agreed that to get great results just work a little slower and keep the UV light on all the time no matter what colors they are working with.) For one you NEED a Blacklight IN the workspace, and secondly, the ink seems more watery, and takes more time to fill, and the third point is they dont shade like tattoo inks. Think of UV inks as if you were painting with them on a black wall, EVERY line/dot you make you WILL see when you turn on that Blacklight (that is why there is 18 colors, which fade from one to another). The best results are to ADD uv to a current tattoo, as in some colors or outlines, just like the old Blacklight Posters (do a Google search and you will find a few) as you will see there is not a lot of shading going on. Now, UV inks use in combination with regular tattoo inks MUST NOT be mixed together wet/fresh. The tattoo colors will stain the UV colors and dull them. OR do you entire outline first, with shading, the darker the better, and then use your UV colors to fill it in.
Q. Where can I buy blacklights?
A. Any mall Spencers, Hot Topic, or Party Store will have them. UV sources should be UV-A, preferably 345-400 nM. Lamps sold for entertainment purposes usually fall into the safe area. They should be specifically marked, "Black Light". DO NOT USE UV lamps designed for germicidal or other purposes. And dont buy the light-bulb type of purple party lights they are not real UV.
Q. Do these inks contain EverGlow?
A. 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 1000") Photonic Marking Formulation USFDA Approved Spectral Marking Pigment ("SMP") being sold as "Chameleon Tattoo Ink" 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.
Q. What is in Crazy Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink?
A. 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.
Q. Is getting a Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink any different than getting one with regular tattoo ink?
A. The only difference is that the artist may need to be working with a blacklight on for some colors. Look here for artist instructions!
Q. Why is the name Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink and not it's original name?
A. To Quote Bob- "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 1000") Photonic Marking Formulation USFDA Approved Spectral Marking Pigment ("SMP")" but I think our staff would quit. So we shortened it a bit to "Chameleon UV Tattoo Ink"."
