Skin & Body - May 2007

I had my nose pierced about two months ago. My summer job doesn't allow me to have facial piercings, and will also require me to work 8-12 hours shifts, 5 days a week. A few weeks ago, I knocked the piercing out while showering and had to replace the ring. In the 5 hours I was ring-less, the hole healed itself slightly and had to be re-pierced. It hurt so bad I cried.

My question is- is there a way to keep a nose piercing from closing? Or is there an undetectable spacer I can use to hold the hole's place while I'm working?
I love my piercing and I'd hate to lose it.
Any advice?

I'm sure this isn't a smart thing to do, but how feasible is it for a professional tattoo artist (not just some doof with a safety pin and ink) to tattoo himself? Have you known this to happen? With what results?

Okay I'm 15, and I have VERY sensitive skin, to the point that some products will actually give me a chemical burn. I need a moisturizer and a cleanser that will help me get rid of my acne but not be too harsh on my skin.
DONT say proactive, I've tried it, made it worse so please dont suggest it.
And I cant afford to go to a dermatologist so I have to have something over the counter, any ideas?

I ALWAYS take a shower in the morning. I'm 28 and never wash my face before bed. I never thought about it til a friend was appalled that I didn't wash my make-up off and said that it would make me age faster. By the way, I use HEB makeup. Should I change my ways?

I've been tattooing for eight years. I served a formal apprenticeship under a very reputable artist who has been published in many books, magazine, and has been on the discovery channel several times. Having said that, I wish to ask this simple question.
Is this forum necessary? All this forum will do is create problems for an already saturated business. I've seen people asking "how can a non-tattooer get some tattin' ink". the answer to that is quite simple...YOU DON'T YOU IDIOT!
What makes people think that they can just go out and buy some equipment and start tattooing? You have no idea what Universal Precautions even mean. You have no idea what cross contamination means. You have no idea what proper sterilization is, not to mention how to achieve it! All of you who are reading this who are guilty of the above...please, do humanity a favor...CUT OFF YOUR THUMBS! If you can't live with that...go find a person who knows what they are doing, serve an apprenticeship!!!!

I want to know if there is anything out there that will quickly get rid of purple strecth marks. I just recently got these. One morning I woke up, was in the shower, and Bam! they were there! At first I thought they were just a couple pimples, then I realized that they were really the beginnings of the marks not fully formed yet. So I have 5 or 6 little dots on each side of my hips. I want them gone quickly and I know cocoa butter takes forever, and creams seem to also. Anyone tried anything different or a cream that worked superfast. I don't want them to keep going!! I already had some old ones that have faded and that is enough.

to let me get my tongue pierced? The only reason she doesn't want me to get one is because its "euuhhh so gross". So I think I can convince her.. I said to her something along the lines of, "Mom you just think that cuz you grew up when it WAS gross, but now its so common and I think its really cute". I also told her I just want it for me, not to impress anyone or fit in or anything. then she said she would think about it. Oh I also told her it was the least painful you can get.. she let me get my bellybutton pierced when I was 13, (now i'm 15) but she told me at the time that I couldn't get anymore piercings or anything til I"m 18. But recently I've been going through a lot and I"m not gonna be able to have a party or anything for my sweet 16 so I think she's coming around so that I can have SOMETHING eventful for my birthday. So I think its a convinceable thing, I'm just not sure what else I should say to do it. Oh and, does it hurt?

I've been wanting a beautiful side piece on my rib cage. I drew it up and took it to my artist and she said it'll probably take 4-6 hours. I'm a little worried about the pain. I already have two tattoos. One on my foot and one on my shoulder blade. I guess I'm not sure if I want to sit for a couple hours and come back the next day to finish it up. I heard that it hurts like hell coming back later and tattooing over it again. Is that true?

A long story made short.
My biological mother died last August so i recently decided to get a tattoo to remind me of her presence and to never forget about her. I do not regret getting the tattoo but my family is relentless in harassing me about it. It seems like everytime some conversation about tattoos come to light im suddenly thrown into it in a negative perspective. Its starting to get me upset how my parents, and the rest of my family, cannot accept me for who i am and what my decisions are. So i guess my question is how can i alleviate the harassment and get my parents to understand my situation. I've tried talking it out but they are strict and have a one track mind when it comes to tattoos. Any suggestions would be great thanks.
