Do "invisible" tattoos actually exist? (sopuli.xyz)

Some clarification first.

I once read an article on a tattooing technique that supposedly kept the actual tattoo invisible unless the person gets flustered or the skin reddens.

From that, it was argued it made possible for people to get tattoos with very intimate placing and allure, as the patterns would only be visible under very specific conditions.

The article stated a specific pigment was used.

So... myth or truth?

Why are you drinking poison?

Because of squirrels, of course.

Probably because the poison has "useful" side effects. Or tradition.

That's pretty much what alcohol is...
