infrared and tattoos

[KenD]

Has anyone had experience with HIE infrared for shots of tattoos and skin? Results, filters, developers that worked or didn't, etc? I could stick with D-76, but wonder about other options. Any experiences would be most welcome - I would like to keep testing to the minimum, given the cost/ scarcity factor. I am hoping to get a nice IR glow yet keep as much sharpness (if the word makes any sense with IR) as possible in the tattoos.

Good question...I'd like to know too.

This doesn't help much with filters and developers, but Tom Dahlin has used IR converted Canon EOS D60 to shoot (tattooed) basketball players:

Tattoos become much stronger on dark skin when captured in infrared.
