Skin & Body - June 2007

I have 3 tattoos (each average size) on my left arm that're 7 yrs old w/no retouches. With that being said, they're already faded, but they have mostly black ink.

I'm thinking about getting cover-up tattoos over them, from the best artist in Ohio that I can find. I really don't wanna work the old tattoos in w/the new ones (unless there's no other way), but I wanna get something w/dark colors and alot of detail to cover up so much to fool the untrained eye.

What I wanna do is to try to fade them as much as I can to make the cover-up much easier (if that's even possible). I'm thinking of using TCA, and my question is... will this plan work?

BBBTTTWWW, I only wanna hear answers from those who experienced w/products like these,or has experience w/cover-ups. NOT from those w/just opinions.

Even more so, don't suggest me laser treatment. I already know that lasers works best, I just don't have that kinda cash.

I've got my prom on Wednesday and i wanted to get my nose and bellybutton pierced tomorrow. I've got my bellybutton pierced before so that's not the problem, but i wondered if it's true they get infected from fake tan? Also, I'm very worried about the fact that some people say nose piercings swell up and go red for the first few days. Is this true and if so, will it go down by my prom on wednesday? please help:( P.S im 16 and my parents have agreed

my dad passed away 3 yrs ago from cancer. anyway i have a small (about the size of the base of a soda can) tattoo on my left arm (right above my wrist). i wanna cover it up with something to represent my dad. the tat that is there now is really faded and isnt the greatest work. there is a personal story to a certain animal (a deer) that i associate with my dad.
i would like to get a deer tattoo~ is there any way to make a deer look feminine (dont want cartoonish)? another option if not the deer would be a butterfly, know of any good ones? would really prefer the deer if anyone has any ideas?
would a deer look weird on a female?

Sunscreen helps against burning but does it prevent you from tanning?

Honestly, when you see someone walking down the street, or at a coffee shop with tattoos, what do you think? Do you have different reactions to people with a lot of tattoos that are dressed a certain way ? What is that reaction?

Do you still think that the lower back tattoo is a 'Tramp Stamp?' If so, why?

Is there any place on a body too taboo for a tattoo? If so, where?

is 15 an ok age to get ur tongue pierced? why do alot of ppl say that most girls get it done just for sexual reasons? would it be wierd if some who is really girly get it done. like someone who has long blonde hair only has her ears pierced and wears preppy clothes but still likes partying.

Bit of an embarrassing question, as always, but in summer especially, we have to stay nice and smooth, but my skin gets irritated from all the shaving, and I can't get a good, close shave. Is there any way I can achieve one?

2007-06-23 07:34:35 · 16 answers · asked by lovely_yellow_sky 1 in Other - Skin & Body

Specifically the Nair brand (but if you have used other brands and they have worked fine, as in they don't make the hair grow back thicker, then please tell me)

I was wondering if it works well... If it lets the hair grow back regular or thicker...

Thank you.

I got a tatoo four years ago in the original (black) colour. I recently got a new one next to the previous one. It seems to be darker than the last one and it looks horrible... I was told that different tatooists use different colour inks is this true or do you think it will be the same colour as the last one when it heals properly ????

What do the masses prefer? Implants or natural? Im not talking about the DDD, G or F ballons. I like all breast that are beautiful,but I love implants if they're done right.
