Interesting Tattoo

Greg Feustal forwarded this to me, I'd never seen one like it.  It is a Latin King tat, which aren't uncommon at all, but it is in UV ink, so it isn't visible under normal lighting.  I have no idea of how common they are.  Fortunately a lot more good guys are carrying UV lights for ID checking and forensic work.  UV lights are also a lot easier to find and less expensive, I believe Photon even makes a version for looking for scorpions at night.  (BTW, if you haven't seen a scorpion at night under UV light, it's pretty cool.  If you are working where they are indigenous, get a UV filter for a flashlight or a UV flood, you'll enjoy it.  Other people, maybe not.)

We may want to be more cognizant of UV lights as possible criminal tools for use in avoiding detection powders, manufacturing false IDs, and who knows,  maybe someone will scrawl confidential info on themselves in UV ink and use it for nefarious purposes.  I *think* that some drugs will also fluoresce, but it isn't my field, and I don't think it's replaced a chemical field test for anything.

Now I can finally get that full-back tat I've always wanted, and a couple others, but only if other colors are available.
