New Blacklight Hand Tattoo and Scarification


Roughly two hours of work to finish my UV hand tattoo. Used a larger needle cluster this time, up from 4 round to an 8 round. For those of you not familiar, an "8 round" is a cluster of 8 tattoo needles in a bundle. It is used to cover more surface area at once, so the lines are bigger.

Four days later. This was also an experiment with scarification. As the tattoo healed, I used various coarse materials to remove the healing skin and create vivid scars. The two best where a dishcloth and a pumice stone.


Eight days later. All the scabbing has been removed by the roughing up with coarse materials. Now I can show you the scars when you ask to see the blacklight tattoo in daylight at least.
