Beauty & Style - 14 December 2006

I'm going for my consult tomorrow. Even though my doctor will answer some questions, I wanted some advice/info from people who have actually had it done.

I've heard mixed things about it...
My tattoo is roughly 5 inches in height and 4 inches wide, across my lower back. It is all black. Some of it has already faded after having a few tatgoneink sessions and a few at-home chemical peels. I'm wanting laser surgery to hopefully remove the rest of it quickly.

My questions are:
1) Does it hurt badly?
2) If so, was this with or without numbing creams/injections?
3) And are numbing creams worth investing in or is the pain all the same?
4) My skin is EXTREMELY pale. I've never tanned, it is transparent white... are my chances of not scarring/discoloration better?
5) How long did it take for anyone with an all black tattoo to be removed?

Thanks!

ok this is my theory on tanning.
since the sun is mostly heat.
do u really need the sun light?
or can u just stay by ur heater to get tan?
is the uv rays what amps up ur melanin?
or is it the heat?

I took care of them but about 5 years ago they got infected again so i took the piercings out. I would like to get my ears pierced again but is it likely they would get infected again?

Believe it or not, some scientists say that certain marks on the skin of the Iceman, a mummified human body dating from about 3300 B.C., are tattoos.


So if this is true how can tattoos be a "fad"!

I'm in sunny Southern Cali...anyone know where I can get my hands onto a pair of green and white checkered vans? I can't seem to find them anymore.

Preferably, some stores (instead of online) that anyone knows that carry them would help.

Thanks much :D

I asked my close friend's husband who is a jeweler if he could make my fiance's wedding rings (I'm getting him 2 that link together, symbolic of 2 people in a relationship:). I thought it would save money and be more personal.

I bought the rings I wanted in silver and sent them to him, asking for platinum.

He took about 3 months to make them, which didn't bother me; I just wanted to have them in plenty of time for christmas. But I got them today, and they can't be platinum, right? They were $600 for starts, and secondly, they look yellowish.

I am SO embarassed that he spent all this time making them (I mean they really are VERY simple plain rings, though!), and they don't look anything like I envisioned.

What do I do? Do I call him? He doesn't respond to email ... should I talk to my friend, his wife, and ask her to ask him? What should I say???

I have thick long blonde hair with a perm that has grown out past my ears.
I think I want to get the perm taken out and get my hair cut 3 or 4 inches and then maybe layered or fethered down the sides in front. What do you think of that???/
I want to find the hair cut and style I like and then take it with me when I go to the beauty parlor.
So, is there a site that has different hair styles, like the books they have at a beauty parlor???

I had a ring custom made by a husband of a good friend, and I asked for platinum. I got the rings todtay, and compared to my engagement ring, they look much more yellow, so I'm afraid they're not platinum! I am so embarassed because I made a big deal about asking him to do this for me, and I don't know if he did it wrong -- I'm too afraid to call and ask.

So I thought maybe I'd ask the opinion of others before I call -- what do YOU think is best (i.e. if it turns out its not platinum ... which it probably isn't cause he charged me $600 ... should I just keep it and give it to him anyway? It won't match my rings then, but maybe its better for a guy NOT to have platinum?)
