Skin & Body - January 2007

I got a tattoo about 7 years ago, I never got around to researching this. My tattoo seemed to have healed wrong. It kinda sticks out (if you know what I mean), kinda like reverse brael. Almost bumpy but I wouldn't say bumpy. I'm just trying to discribe it. Anyone who knows anything about tattoo's should understand what I mean. Anyways, my question is, is it something I did when it was healing or was it something the tattoo guy did wrong? I wish I had a picture of it but you can't really tell it sticks out unless you touch it or look really close.

hi, recently got a tatoo on my hip, its started to heal now, but the thing is every so often it itches like hell, I've been following all the guidelines and using cream to moisturise it, which has helped alittle but not a huge amount. I'm not scratching or picking at it but I would love to know if there's anything you know which might dull the itch

I once saw a tv special on semi-permanent tattoos that last up to 6 months before fading. My friend is thinking about getting a tattoo and I recommended this 6-month semi-permanent thing, but I haven't seen that tv special in a while and I don't know much about it anymore. Does anybody know where I can find some information on that for her? Thanks so much! :)

First off, I'll let you know I've read a TON about tragus piercings all over the internet and on here. But I haven't really heard from younger people, like 14 and 15.

I'm getting my tragus pierced for my 13th birthday next month. I've had my lobes pierced and my left cartilage. But I'm not sure if I can take the pain =[

I understand how different people take pain differently but the majority of the people have said it's painful, but not unbearable and it's definitely worth it.

But then again this is coming from 18+ people who probably have many piercings.

So ultimately, anyone here around my age get their tragus done and how bad was it for you?

I cannot stand shaving my legs when it's cold out...I get goosebumps SO fast and the hair just pops back up. But for those nights in the hottub, no one wants spikey legs...gross! Any tips on how to keep those bumps down?

I got a recipe from the internet and I put the gelatin under my eyes, but it is very uncomfortable. I just need to know if it's worth doing the treatment every day.

I have several light colored scars on my arms. They're very noticable because of my skin tone and several people have pointed them out. I was wondering if there was any way I could get rid of them or make them less noticable. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My husband and I are gonna get each others names tattooed. It's not enough for me to just get his name. I want something that is special and can sum up how we made it together in the first place. I think that the Rascal Flatts song really does that. I just don't know how I could turn the words of the song into a picture.

Do you think there is no harm in using scrub on face 3x a week to exfoliate? If it is not good, what is the best for face exfoliation?

I ALWAYS wear a ring on my left ring finger (medium sized amber ring)...the other day i took it off and there was what i thought was a pimple in the top of my finger where the ring was (not totally centered). A few hours later after removing the ring it seemed more like a dry patch of skin rather than a pimple.

One week later, it is still there. It is red and a bit raised about the diameter of a pea (not sticking up like one, ust across). It is also dry.

What could this be...just a wierd patch of dry skin?

I absolutely love the feel and atmosphere of a tattoo parlor. I plan on going to cosmetology school, try to make it as a writer, do a bunch of other things, but I really would like the tattoo/peirced world to be part of my own. I don't have the talent to be an artist, and wouldn't want to be a peircer, so do parlors ever hire just like a reseptionist kind of person? What other jobs in that field might there be? Thanks!

Nova Clinic TCA peels. It's a tattoo removal cream. Has anyone used it? And does it really work? The before and after pictures I have seen look good but then pictures can always be edited.
