Skin & Body - October 2007

I got a tatto this past Saturday (So 6 days ago now) and the scab is 99.5% gone already..Seems pretty fast to me (I don't remember my other 2 tattoos shedding the scabs so quickly...But it has been probably 14 years since I got my last one so I just may not remember). Does this seem too fast? There is no problem with it, I was just wondering...

I wore costume jewelry out to a club, so maybe sweating from dancing so much plus the chain didn't mix. Is this dark line around my neck ever gonna fade?

I currently use neutrogena, I have occassional acne, so I am using something with benzoyl peroxide/statylic acid....my skin doesn't necessarily get "dry/irratitated" from the products, but I am looking for a more "natural" product.....is St. Ives Apricot cleanser more natural than neutrogena cleansers, or are they about the same? I just don't want to continue using harsh chemicals on my face, I think they're bleaching my skin.....my skin is NOT red or anything, just kinda bleached looking....so anyway, please give me some suggestions, by the way, I like to get my skin care products at target, so please suggest something sold at target...

Every time I shave my legs break out. I use a razor with no scented moisture strip of anything, hypoallergenic shave cream and a hypoallergenic lotion. I use anti-iritation cream afterwards and I still break out. It started during the summer and it never happened before then. What's going on?? Does anybody know and if so... is there a way to prevent it in the future? I'd really like to have hairless legs that aren't red and bumpy.

The very back of my foot, above my heel.

If you want to get scientific, I believe it would be the area in behind the calcaneus bone.

I'll probably get it regardless of pain, just mere curious.

I asked a question a few days ago about my navel piercing and got some good advice. A couple suggested hydrogen peroxide, I used this last time but got told by my friend that I shouldn't have. Is it ok to use on what is effectively a new piercing?
Thanks!

This weekend I plan on getting my first Tattoo and I want as much information as possible before getting one. I know I have to make sure I want what I want and I know it hurts, and everyone that I've asked said they couldn't describe it.

Any creams or oils made for such problems?
Or everyday products that may work?

Someone told me that baby oil will keep tattoos looking brand new for a long time.

I'm interested in getting a small tattoo on the very back of my foot, right above the heel.

Since the skin is rather rough in that area, would ink not hold in too well? Would it fade faster?

I appriciate any other information/advice about tattoos that I might need to know. Thanks!

I want to know from people with experience or tattoo artists. I know some say you can tattoo over them some say you can't. I just want to see someone who has done it and it turned out good. Thanks! Please don't just give me your opinion. Just your experience. :)

At first, I was saying "Hey, that's discrimination! There's no way in hell this should be allowed to happen". But after considering both sides of the issue, seems like this can kind of be likened to a place of business banning smoking or certain communities being "seniors only" or something along those lines. A company can decide to not offer services or products to anyone they want, as long as they're not breaking the law. I figure hey, my money spends just as well as the next guy's - if these complexes don't want it, that's their bad. I'll just roll over to their competitor across the street.

What say you?

I got my second tattoo today..but this is the first one that I have gotten with color in it.

I havent scratched it or anything like that, but I just looked n the mirror and now my ink is bleeding...if I dabb it with a tissue I can see the color comming off and parts of it looks smudged (I didn't rub)
is that normal for color tattoos or is it going to be ruined now??? I cant go back to the parlor tight now because they're closed
