What do you think of these for my next 3 Tattoos, done it U.V. ink, Cool or Not Cool?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/16895313@N07/

They would be Done in U.V. Ink, (show up only under Black light/U.V. light like White, but only a little pinkish mark on my skin during the day). Oh, and I am a heterosexual Male for the context of the Tattooee/tatto reipient?

I am going to get them anyway, but want opinions, and reasons for those opinions.

The Barcode would be on my neck, and Being a Disabled Veteran/ex-Paratrooper Has significance to me, it is my Social Security/Service number.

The Oroboros would go on my Left hand, and the Hong of War on my Right. I am an Ordained Taoist, and the Oroboros represents reincarnation (like the wheel of life)/Cycle of life, Dragon Eating it's own tail from the life comes life), and the Hong of War represents Conflict/war with two dragons Fighting/Facing/Conflicting each other (Science/Society Clashing.with Religion, Mythology, Thoelogy, Folklore, Tradition, Heritage)

other tattoos:my Left Arm: ForeArm; (Front) Taurus Constelation Mapped out (also on my right, both at wrist level, For the 12 month Zodiac, my Sun sign and Moon sign are the Same), year of the Rabbit (B-Day in Chinese Zodiac Script), Hexagon/Hexagram (Star of David, I am 1/8 Jewish of French Decent) (Back of ForeArm) Egyptian Ankh with infinity Sign in it (sideways 8, or 2 perfect Circles Joined, wrist level), U.S. Army Airborne Wings (with Green/Olive Drab Parachute Conopy) with Black Beret on it (for Rangers, before the Army switched to everyone wearing a Black Beret), Yin and Yang. Upper left: Tribal Arm Band (all the way around, from one side of my pit to the other), Sign of Aries (the 13 sign Zodiac, modern Zodiac, same as on the right also). Upper Back/Low Neck: Star of Lakshmi, Rub el Hizb (Octogram/Octogon, faded a little so take care of yours, espeacially the first week). Right Arm: ForeArm: (Front) Taurus Constelation Mapped, Year of the Dragon (year I was old enough to become a Chief in Judaism, in Chinese Script, I wanted something Dragon Related but not a cheesy Dragon Picture) and a Penticle (5 Pointed Star, 5 elements, earth, Water, Fire, Air, Heart) (Back, otherside) Sacred Heart (burnt almost completely off, years later) on a Sword shaped like a Crucifix (Color). Upper Right Arm: Peace sign in Rose stems (blurred spikes 20 years later) with amererican Stars and Stripes inside, Marvin the Martian (From Looney tunes, "must Destroy the Earth it Disrupts my View of Venus, Where is that P-38 Space Modulator?".), Sign of Aries.

I put the ones on my left because they represent the Loving and nutureing side of Religion, and the ones on my right (i.e., the Right Hand of God) represent the Wrathful side of Religion, except for Marvin, I still like my Marvin though, I have had it 18+ years, and Looney tunes are timeless, and Innocent and was my first time, like a virgin, ahhh!, good times..

Update:

WTF, Pro active, huh?

Update 2:

*****note: The Barcode would have actual Numbers of it, under the Bars, making it a meat tag of my Social Security number (a meattag is like a Dogtag, but Tattooed in your meat somewhere, usually on your Torso so can be found if you are blown up, but U.V. Ink should be visible even after the meat is burned, and without a neck they would know I am Dead)

Update 3:

Heather, I thought it would be more like, Suprise, didn't notice that before and in a club they use Black lites, some strobe, so if I go out with you there it is all of sudden, if I meet you in a club, what was that, or where did it go? it's also good for I dentification for after Death since I travel alot. I have also heard that in places near the Equator that U.V. Tattoos become visible at sunset (don't know if it's true, Americans are the only ones crazy enough to do it, and they are not close enought to the Equator). Plus, in my Bedroom i have Blacklights (I like the way they make things look occasionally). I also usually carry a U.V. light on my Key chain, for investigating mysterious smells near me, and helping me to decide whether or not to move.

Update 4:

I meant cool or uncool like, lame or not lame idea. I don't mean trendy, no one wants a trendy Tattoo. stupid or not (and I don't mean stupid in a good way), bitchin' or bogus, dude, awesome or so not awesome, etc.

Update 5:

the Barcode is Side ways to save room for Printing in the Picture, but it would be on it's side (90 Degrees tilted.

Update 6:

U.V. was developed for identifieng furry critters. That was years ago. They have made many improvements to it, and have been giving Humans it for several years now. Some Artists don't like it (for one to apply it they have to work in the Dark under U.V./Blacklight), but an Artist here does it, and has a few of them.

    I lived in Denver for 8 years. And you don't want to use the name Aurora...it's not that great of a place! Denver is a boys name. Plus it's a place name that is pretty "westerny" in tone. Is that really what you want?

    I think any tattoo done in uv light is a waste of time and energy to be honest. They aren't "cool" anymore. "cool" is based on trends and is subjective. Black lights or uv lights aren't around as much as they used to be, so really when would you show it to someone unless you plan on having a uv keychain...

    Enjoy the cancer. UV ink wasn't developed for use on humans. When sunlight hits it, it will cause severe burns & cancer.
