Started tattooing in 2018, Jose Paz Jr. shared that out of curiosity he tried to use black light tattoo, a trend that is starting to gain popularity because of the creative twist they allow to put on one’s body.
Black light tattoos or glow-in-the-dark tatoos are created using ultraviolet (UV) reactive ink. This means that a black light tattoo is nearly invisible in plain daylight, but will come to life when viewed under an ultraviolet bulb.

“Sa ngayon konti pa lang yung mga tattoo artist na nagbibigay ng ganitong service sa mga studio or tattoo shop nila. Unique kasi sya compared sa traditional inks na ginagamit for tattoos (Right now there are very few tattoo artists who offer this service in their studios or tattoo shops. It’s more unique compared to the traditional inks used for tattoos),” Paz, who is also a graphic designer for Manila Bulletin, said.
