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.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
