Where i live there is a trend of bar code tattoos on your neck... with your date of birth.

Can someone please explain why people get this? i think it's so weird and pointless....

Also the tattoos with the area code from where you live...What's the point of that? So they can ship you back in case you get lost or something?

I'm 27 years old with two M.A.s and I work as a professor in a university. While I do dress professionally (clothes, hair, makeup), I do have two eyebrow piercings and a labret piercing that is visible. I also have a large tattoo on my upper back that is not visible. I've never had any problems with my employers (I actually work parttime at two universities) about my appearance. However, I'm trying to look ahead in the future, as I know I probably won't be with these two employers all my life. I do know that I from now on, as my career, I will work in a university setting as a professor or I will be working on my writing career. With all that being said, I'm trying to decide if getting a wrist tattoo will be a detriment in the future as far as work goes, or if I should go for it as I have chosen careers that don't have a huge emphasis on "traditional professional" appearances. Any thoughts out there?

Can anyone confirm whether this size is large enough to prevent blurring? It's just part of the mantra I'm tattooing around my arm, so I couldn't go larger than this. If it's too small and could blur over time, I'll choose a different mantra.

I have a tattoo thats about a year old now and I'm just wondering is it to early to get a retouch?
The white pigment has faded but the rest of the tattoo looks fine. Should I wait until the whole tattoo fades to get a retouch done or should I do it now?

My doctor said that i shouldn't wash my face more than twice a day so it won't dry out. So, I wash it and use a moisturizer as directed. My face seems to keep breaking out. What could possibly be the problem?

What do you suggest would be a good HAIR-REMOVAL CEAM so I don't have to shave every day?

[I used Nair once and my legs completely broke out and I couldn't even shave.]

I got my nose pierced about a week ago, and the piercer warned me not to go swimming for about 2 months until the nose fully heals, so it doesn't get infected. I was wondering, does swimming mean just in just pools because of the chlorine or can I swim in a lake as well? Please Help! Thanks :)

I have tried waxing at home but it never seems to work very well. We couldnt get all the hairs out, we spent ages trying!!
Would it work better getting it done properly, or would it be just the same?

The hairs we did get out were back in less than a week.

I heard it is very wrong and the ink can somehow get into the blood stream, but I wanted to continue getting my tatts, is it safe?
