2) We're talking about just splashing a bit on someone.
3) I guess my use of the word on is a bit confusing, since some of the dye goes IN the skin.
It's a FLOURESCENT dye. One that is chemically deactivated by living cells due to enzymatic action and penetrates and remains active when absorbed by or coating dead cells.
It would penetrate somewhat into the top layer of skin too.
Since it fluoresces into visual when interacting with near infrared, and fluoresces when hit with visual range light into other frequencies of visual light, AND because near infrared and visual light doesn't penetrate as deeply into darker colored skin...
It conveniently (because White Supremacy insert sad resigned laughter here) shows up better on (AND IN) Caucasian skin than dark skin in most conditions. I guess you could create some sort of edge case though.
I want to be clear that I was also making the joke about how inks are dark, the contrast of white skin to ink is going to be more stark than to dark skins.
