Skin & Body - February 2007

I am 13 years old and i am very skinny. i have never had and never will have an eating disorder, but i feel very self-conscious about my appearence. I am often teased about being skinny, and even my friends tell me things like "you're abnormally skinny" and make references to me such as "toothpick" and "stick".

I eat and exercise normally but I don't gain weight. the way i look stings a lot when i am reminded of it. Clothes never really fit me right. My friends, being normal schoolgirls, of course, constantly complain about the way they look. they always tell me how they are "too fat" or that they think they are ugly. when i tell them i am self-conscious about being very skinny, they dissmiss it. Apparently, it is more troubling to think you are fat.

I want everyone to know that people who are very skinny face the same self-doubt as those who think they are fat. Think about that the next time you make assumptions or a joke about the girl who is skinnier and bonier than most.

So I got my first tattoo a few months ago, and I'm going in for the touch up soon (I should mention here that the touch-up is going to be free). I know that it's customary to tip when you get the tattoo, and I did. Is it customary to tip after you get a free touch-up?

I just recently got a tattoo about a week ago and it started looking a little infected. But a few min ago my cat latched on to my arm, taking a chunk of skin covering the tattoo off. Can I put any peroxide or something like it on it to make sure it doesn't get infected? Would it hurt the tattoo?

Alright, So I'm a college freshman that's going to be heading off to South Padre for spring break in a couple weeks, and I'm wondering how I should be looking. I'm not ripped or anything, I'm actually a pretty skinny guy. But I've got a crapload of chest and stomach hair. Should I get rid of it for the spring break atmosphere? Whenever I watch any spring break special, I see nobody with body hair. Granted, I don't see many average looking people, but that may be besides the point.

So my question is what should I do with my body hair at such a popular spring break place? Should I get rid of it despite the fact I don't look like a model? Or won't it be a big deal in such a party-like atmosphere?

I had my ears pierced when I was a kid but I lost my studs when I was in grade 9 because I had to take them out every day for gym class. I didn't have the heart to tell my mother I lost them and I was going through a "bum" phase at the time, anyway. So, they closed up. Now I'm 20 and I want to get them repierced, would there be any problems with scar tissue or anything like that?

i had my roomie tell me to put a warm washcloth on my wrist tattoo, i was just wondering if anyone else has heard of this and its safe or if i should just leave it alone. I'ts been 5 days since i got the new tat and it still has the scabs on it.

Thanks.

My wife thinks my bicep, but I am in an aggressive weight lifting program, which I worry would distort the tattoo. I'd like the back of my left shoulder, but apparently, that tends to be a bit girly. Any opinions?

has your skin become more sensitive?
Have you ever had a reaction from them later, even though you've had them prior?
