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.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
