first of all, i havent killed anyone, been to jail nor lost a loved one. i just want one and dont ask me why. how much would it cost and how bad would it hurt? and how long would it take to get it done? if i get it, that would be my first tattoo. also, if i apply for jobs and go in for interviews, would the teardrop tattoo be a big issue? since it is so small underneath your eye, it shouldnt be noticed would it? the interviewer or hiring person would probably think its just a mole or something right? another question, assuming that you dont get hired because of the teardrop tattoo. which tattoo is more likely that you dont get hired for a job, a teardrop or a word written on the side of your neck in cursive? last question, what are the best available jobs that someone can get if they have a teardrop tattoo, assuming that they have a bachelor's degree?

I'm thinking of getting my first tat of a very detailed looking dragon on my right arm (bicep) area with my chinese last name on the dragon's underbelly as dragon is part of my chinese name. Do you ladies think it will actually look good? For the guys, the only concern I have is concerning bicep size. I have a good size now but it sometimes flucuates depending on how hard I train. I'm worried that if I get them even larger after getting the tattoo, it will mess up the design. Any suggestions?

I have a big zit smack-dab in the middle of my chin. It hurts to touch and I want it to go away. It doesn't have a white-head yet, so I can't pop it. Do you know of a HOME MADE remedy that you know works from personal experience? I don't want to go out and buy anything considering it's 9:00 at night. Remember, people...HOME MADE REMEDY. Anyone got anything that really works?

I got a second hole in each of my ears and pierced the cartilage of my left ear as well a couple days ago. I got it done at Claire's and they used a gun. I had never heard anything bad about doing this until I decided to get online today to find out how long it will be sore - that's when I read quite a few comments about how bad it is to get it done with a gun. The lady that pierced my ears was older (she wasn't 16 as everyone thinks the workers are at Claire's). She has kids and she seemed to be very experienced. Anyway, I read that the gun can do some major damage to your ear - what can it do? How will I know if something is wrong with it? I got it done a couple days ago, and at the time, it didn't hurt at all, but now it is REALLY sore. At first it only hurt when I touched it or bumped it, but now it is kind of aching. Many people have told me it is completely normal, but is that true? If it is normal, how long will it hurt? I'd really appreciate some advice - thanks!

I don't have really bad acne, just a mild case. I get about 7-12 pimples at once. But nothing i do ever works!!! I have clean and clear pore cleanser, but that doesn't seem to help. I have tried scrubs, facials, steaming...but nothing works. Toothpaste dries out my skin and leaves it worse than before. I'm a picker, so if you have any advice to help me stop picking at my face, it would be appreciated! Gracias!

I thought it was from taking hot showers, so I have tried using colder water, but that doesn't seem to help much.

I have a tattoo on my back in sanskrit that originally meant something meaningful to me. A couple of days ago I walked shirtless past this gentleman from Nepal who could read sankrit. He told me the meaning on my back was totally off. So I thought it could just be a dialect issue or of the sort so I went to my university prof. who specials in sanskrit (lucky me), and he said that the meaning was far from what I intended.

Here's a big problem to this. I had this tattoo done a while monthes ago. The artist might not even remember me, but still, should I go back to complain about the tattoo? Since there is a time issue I don't know how to go about this. Is it right to ask for my money back or for the artist to cover my tattoo up with a different one? Or am I just crap out of luck? I'm really pissed because I was passionate about the word/symbol on my back. Now I find out that it means something completely the opposite (something vulgar and insulting).
Please help me with replies asap!

I still had it! Today is the seventh day and it keeps on going and coming...like I asked before...is this normal?

I started going to a playgroup in the winter with my daughter, it was cold so I always wore longsleeves and pants, everyone was as nice as pie to me. The warm weather is here, so I went to playgroup with my daughter and wore a tanktop and capri pants, all my tattoos were showing, when I went in there I felt like an exhibit in a museum. I found it totally hilarious that a few of these stuck up snobs would barely speak to me because I have a lot of tattoos, I am a married stay at home mom, have a great house, wonderful husband. Do tattoos really carry that much of a stigma? I love my tattoos and am not ashamed or anything, I just can't figure people out they think you are an axe murderer because you have some ink. Maybe it is because I live in a small town now.

I know that I don't want it on my lower back, or anywhere else on my back or shoulders. I really want it on my foot, but I'm hearing that it's not a good location because it fades. Then the back of the neck isn't really favored either. WHERE DO I GET THIS TATTOO!!! (I want to make sure it can be easily covered as well for work and wedding). Help!
