Bioluminescent glowing tattoos are a recent trend that has won the hearts of many. They are made with vivid, fluorescent colors that are not so visible in the daylight.
In order for these tattoos to glow under an ultraviolet light source, special ink that contains fluorescent pigment needs to be used.
People who want them to be visible in normal light usually get tattoos done with normal ink while the fluorescent ink only highlights some parts of the design.
You can only imagine how creative people got and came up with some really cool designs. Here are 11 glowing tattoos that might inspire you to get your own!
