What a glow (UV) tattoo is A glow tattoo (often called a UV or blacklight tattoo) is designed to look subtle in normal lighting and become more visible under ultraviolet light. Some designs use UV ink for hidden lines, while others combine regular ink with UV accents to create a "two-mode" effect.

Illustrative tattoos combine elements of traditional illustration with tattooing techniques, blending detailed linework with expressive shading. The style bridges the gap between fine art and body art.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
