ok, so my skin isnt that dark, its a medium brown but i heard that the uv ink will still be visible in the light. so i want to know how visible they would be for me or if the visibility will go down depending what color i choose. my main thought is to get tats on my neck and face but still be professional.

I've not seen many UV ink tattoos on people with darker skin, but perhaps try contacting known artists that use UV ink to see if they can show you photos of ink they've done on darker skin or (maybe) try contacting the UV ink manufacturers for information (not sure about this one, but worth a shot). I'm told even the white UV ink (the "invisible" one) under dark skin will show up more pronounced versus being nearly "not there".
