Skin & Body - February 2007

I hate pain and I'm scared of needles...but I really want a tattoo. Is it that bad getting one?

I'll be turning 18 on the 13th of July. It's a turning point in more ways than the obvious. What I need to know, though, is if I want to get inked on my birthday, can I go in for a consultation about a week before that? I mean, obviously if I bring in my mother, but I need this to be the first thing that I did right all on my own, regardless of the fact that I'll need a ride out there. I know better than to walk in with a sketchy design expecting to get it inked looking perfect on my skin, and flash is out because getting a tattoo that someone may have already or get in the future doesn't excite me. Will the artist talk to me, seriously, even though I'll be a little shy of a legal adult?

Also, which areas of the foot are fit for a tattoo? I knew this, I know I did, but I think I should ready a backup now if the area above the heal on the inside of the foot is un-tattooable.

Anyways, thanks much.

I'm aware that it's from the surgery, but I was just wondering if there was any way to speed up the disappearing process for them?

I live in Michigan and its winter here. I plan on getting a tat on my foot. It will be very small. I know it will hurt but since it's small i don't think it should take very long. How much approximate cost?

I got an infection in a tattoo that I got in "the ditch" of my arm. I haven't had a problem with any of my tattoos before, so this is totally new to be. I got it Saturday night and started oral antibiotics and a topical cream from my doctor on Wednesday. Will my tattoo be ruined or might it end up looking ok? There's no color. It's just black and shades of grey. Thanks for any input!

I was told that you can't give blood if you have tattoos. Is that true and if so why?

See i have wanted a tongue ring for a long time coming now, and i've been patient enough wait and get it done once my mother can't have any say so. now that i've come up pregnant im having second thoughts but i still want it done VERY badly. My fiance and i are planning a trip to Albany soon and that would be the perfect time to get it done. But the question is... can i? As much as i would hate to do it i would wait longer if it means protecting my baby from anything. Hey i waited this long, I can wait longer. And by the way I'm going on 4 months now.

I have a nautical star on my back. It's black and teal but I've decided I want to get it changed so it's all one color, a regular star. Anyone know if they can cover the black with another color or do I have to make the star all black? Thanks!

I got my belly peirced 2 1/2 months ago, and it did really well with healing, I kept it clean and changed it out a month afterward. It stopped getting crusty soon, and was doing well but today I notice that the bottom of it is gooey.

The top hole is perfectly healed, but the bottom is now gooey and I'm wondering if this has happened to you, how long does it take to heal, and can I clean it with alcohol until I get home to use antibacterial soap?

Can anyone share with me experiences of their piercing.. and no, I don't want to take it out, it was a 'turning 21' birthday piercing and I love it!

I had my root of the helix (http://www.infovisual.info/03/048_en.html) pierced about more than a year ago so i finally went to the store to replaced a new jewley. (that person from store did that for me) A jewley is a bar with sharp point. Later i want to clean it but I had hard time to turn the sharp point to either right or left to off. I seem can't. It too hard because other end of the bar is inside of the root. It is too small for me to hold it. SO what should i do to get it off? I don't want go to the store to ask get it off so i can clean it, forget it. i don't mind to try with doctor glove on but what if sharp of ball will rip it off?

Well I'm already at the legal age of getting a tattoo. ( I'm 18 years old.) And I want to get a tattoo of a cross on my right wrist. I've never had a tatoo before, and I want to get a tattoo to celebrate me turning 18, as my birthday gift to myself. And I was wondering should a first-timer (like me) get a tattoo on my wrist or not? I already know what I want. I want a tattoo of a cross on my right wrist, and I was just wondering what you all think. I've already done all the researching and whatnot on tattoo's, so I want to know what you think (the ones with tattoos) about a first timer getting a tattoo on the wrist. Thanks! :)
