Lighting up the Skin
Humans have practiced tattooing for thousands of years, but recently many people have been seeking subtler types that can’t be seen in normal light, such as glow-in-the-dark or Ultra Violet tattoos. While traditional tattoo ink consists of metallic pigments combined with a carrier solution, glow-in-the-dark ink utilises the process of phosphorescence, absorbing light and later emitting it as a glow in darkened conditions. UV ink, on the other hand, utilises the process of fluorescence and can only be seen under a blacklight—highly energetic UV light that lies just above visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum (i.e. just above violet). Fluorescent substances absorb this light and then re-emit it, and because some energy is lost in the process, the re-emitted light has a longer wavelength and so becomes visible. The vibrancy of UV tattoo ink depends on the colour, and the tattoos are nearly invisible in normal light, although scarring from the application process can still show. Dozens of everyday materials produce a fluorescent glow such as soda, detergents, and white paper—so it’s perhaps unsurprising that while there are safety concerns over phosphorous inks, UV inks seem to be far safer. However, they do currently have a reputation for irritation and complications, so the process is far from perfect just yet—but it looks awesome.

You can do this with highlighters too. They show up under blacklight.

I still think about you and wonder how you're doing. Just though I should let you know.
Well anon… I think I’m doing ok. I’m tired all the time, but that’s the norm for me now a days. My neck spasmed hardcore last night, so I was in a whole lot of pain, but it’s getting better. At least I think it is. My depression has dulled to an extent… but it’s still prevelent in my life… but I’ve just been really busy so I haven’t been on here as much. I’m sorry I haven’t been around tho.
This is the part of the movie where I start crying. Then I don’t stop. The reason is, I know exactly where he’s coming from. It’s like… There’s so much pain and suffering and you want to end it all but you can’t. And that’s enough to make you feel helpless and powerless.
what movie is this?
The perks of being a wallflower.

For once in my life… I’d like it if I wasn’t mentally ill. If I didn’t have all this shit surrounding me and making my symptoms worse. I’d also like it if I was completely normal. Can I wake up tomorrow and be completely normal… please?

When people say: I’m a mess
they’re not warning you off
they’re willing you closer
to see past the sadness at 2AM,
and the chain-smoking, the crying at pianists
midnight meals, foetal positions and the sulk of bottom lips
there’s something inherently vulnerable about it
‘i’m a mess’
it’s filled with a soft stark pleading you won’t hear unless you’re listening right and all it means is
‘please don’t leave me here alone.’
