What 17-year-old unoriginal poseurs get thinking that tribals have looked cool after 1993.
Newsflash: they haven't.

A blacklight tattoo is a tattoo that is done in uv reactive ink. If the entire tattoo is done in uv ink it is not visible under normal light and is only visible when displayed under a blacklight. Another use for the ink is to highlight existing tattoos and to have effects such as causing the eyes of a dragon tattoo to glow under black light. The ink is only visible on lighter skin tones. And although certain manufacturers of the ink have been accused of peddling carcinogen laced ink, one brand name has remained unscathed. Chameleon Ink produces the only FDA approved tattoo ink in the industry.

An enthusiastic aficionado, a tattoo collector is a person who sees their ink not just as individual pieces but rather as a curated collection. They seek ink from specific, carefully chosen artists, using their skin and the artists' work to build a library of body art that is meaningful and significant, potentially even beyond the collector's own appreciation.
Some collectors gain reputations and followings in social media and the convention circuit, and can wield tremendous influence within the community. Anecdotal evidence suggests comments or reviews from certain collectors can make or break an artist's career.
Further anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a far lower douchebag quotient among the collector segment than one might expect, but there's definitely some out there.
Dude1: I met this chick at the party last night, she's totally a tattoo collector.
Dude2: Tattoo collector?
Dude1: Yeah, she collects tattoos.
Dude2: That sounds creepy as shit! With what, a knife?!
Dude1: No, dumbshit, she collects tattoos from famous tattoo artists...she goes to conventions and shit to meet all the famous ones, and gets them to do tattoos on her. She only goes to the like A-list shops and stuff, and like books appointments way in advance with the serious pros. She had like a JK5, a Bert Krak, a Doug Hardy, you know. Famous dudes.
Dude2: Famous? I never heard of that shit.
Dude1: Me neither. I looked 'em up on the internet. But they're like tattoo famous, whatever.
Dude2: Cool. You hit that shit?
Dude1: Not yet, bro. But soon.

n. the physical and psychological discomfort that arrises from the crushing realization that the body art that seemed so perfect at two in the morning after an unknown number of cocktails is hugely embarrassing in the sober light of day.
"Last night Ricky J. was showing off his multi-colored 'Ricky Is A Momma's Boy' tat to everyone he met, but this morning he has a tattoo hangover at the thought of having to live with it the rest of his life."

Unidentified bruise resulting from a blackout on your birthday.
Nancy received a nasty birthday tattoo last night and doesn't remember a thing. We think she may have been jersey punched.
A person's online social networking legacy that is comprised of a number of sources that include past Facebook wall posts/ status updates and Twitter tweets. They create a 'virtual tattoo' that a person might regret when this online history is revived at some point in the future, such as a job interview.
Hey, those facebook wall posts and tweets about the party are going to be a virtual tattoo you're gonna regret.
A "tattoo tour" is something you can ask for, commonly asked in chat on TikTik Live, when you'd like to see someone's tattoo artwork.
You: tattoo tour?
Her: She shows you all of her tattoos and gives a brief history of each.
