UV ink not showing up?
Soooo, the purple UV ink isn't showing up on my shirt anymore. Or it is, but like, its a realllllllly faint yellow color, which is kinda sad. Is this normal with all UV inks? Is there anyway to restore it to its old vibrancy. It made me a bit sad... :/

Move closer to the equator.

Part of me thinks that that is a viable explanation.
The other part disagrees. Is it the fact that the earth is further from the sun? Kinda?

Yikes! How long have you had it? How many times have you washed it??
I've noticed a few people questioning whether or not the ink would fade over time....and this makes me nervous now.

I couldn't have had it for too long. I ordered it June 3rd, so I've had it since the beginning of June. And I probably wore it a little less than 10 times. If I knew the ink would fade, I probably would have only worn it on days where it would be sunny and I would be outside. But who could have guessed? Now I fear for my glow in the dark inks.

I'm 17 years old. To Sum my life up into a short paragraph, I eat, I watch tv, I play video games. Thats pretty much what I do. I also tend to do artsy things if I'm in the mood, but I guess you would do anything if you were in the mood to do so. I hate when my lips get red or blue from popsicles.
