Skin & Body - December 2007

I am a male with very fair skin, fair hair and red lips. I have a bright complexion and I think it doesn't look very attractive, my blonde hair makes the complexion worse. Is there anyway I can apply something to my face to make it a tad darker? Preferably not female makeup.

I was hired into a top worldwide hotel chain over 3 years ago and made the agreement to remove my earrings and shave. I agreed to that and was told that my tattoos were not a problem. I have 2 tattoos on my forearm and my last name around my wrist. A year into my employment the General Manager changed and for the last 2 years there hasn't been an issue. I was informed today that all "offensive tattoos" must be covered by long sleeves. I am the only one affected by this policy change. There are others with plenty more tattoos than me but they are not in the public eye and do not have to follow the policy. There is another person who is in the public eye in my department with tattoos on his forearm and he does not have to cover his. I have been singled out for this change and do not believe my tattoos are offensive at all. The men I have worked with for the last 3 years had to ask to see them today. What should I do? Is there anyone I can contact to ask or somewhere to get information?

I have been considering a tattoo since I was 14. I am now 26. I think that when they are done well they look great on other people. I am considering a large design from my knee down to my ankle. I have been taking my time picking out the design, but I am still not sure about it. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'm especially talking about women who won't wear the same dress twice in 6 months, who need a new purse every month, who change their hairstyle and color at will, who have a different set of heels for every day in the year and who have 45 shades of lipstick and nail polish. Why do they intentionally get body discolorations that pretty much last a lifetime?

I got it in memory of my grandpa when he died. It's supposed to be a lily, but the artist obviously isn't much of an artist. I'm getting it "touched up" today, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I was thinking taking out the yellow completely and making it purple and blue. I figure that it's not going to hurt anything if i go and get it touched up.. if it doesn't look good still, then I'll try someplace else. :/
Please, don't be rude. I know it looks like a banana.
It's sort of a touchy situation and I just don't know what to do with it.

I went to this local place in Cincinnati, and the owner did my tattoo. He not only overcharged me, but it looks absolutely TERRIBLE. It was supposed to be a yellow lily, but there's absolutely no detail that it looks like a banana. I later found out that because it owns it (and over charges more so then other shops) that he doesn't care about the work that he does. I know that sounds terrible, but it's true. Does any one else think that I should have to right to ask someone else at the shop to touch it up? I already got over charged by thirty dollars, and I would tip the other artist. I just don't think it's right that I should have to go back to him or pay full price (overcharged full price). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Don't be rude. I like tattoos.
Clearly they're permanent.
Don't date judge me.
And keep your answers realistic.

I know a guy who got a dimple done by plastic surgery. It is not a true dimple because it is there all the time. I have always wished for a dimple bit his looks a bit too artificial.

Would you get one done and what do you think of the idea in general?

You've never going to get a REAL job with those tattoos on you. FALSE.
There are lawyers, doctors, astronauts, bankers, preachers, teachers, racecar drivers, scientists, all with tattoos........the list is endless. Getting a tattoo DOES NOT prevent you from doing what you want to in life...... NEXT?

I can't pass a mirror without stopping to look at my tattoos. I'm not vain.....I don't spend a lot of time on my hair and I shave when I feel like it so I look kinda scraggly (like Sam Elliot on a really bad day). But I spend way to much time examining my ink. Sometimes I love my tattoos and other times I look at them more critically. (This line is crooked... that area is shaded too dark.... I should get more added....it's too big now). I have to admit I'm slightly obessed with the damn things. Am I the only one with this sickness?

i dont know if its myth or reality but I've been told that black people's skin rejects couloured tattoos so each couple months you have to retouch your tattoo to add the colors in it is it true

Does it hurt (for real), how do they clamp it, cost, how to clean it, how often to clean it, what types of foods to eat, how to change it, what risks are involved, will it chip your teeth, etc. I want to get one, but I want to make sure I'm doing everything associated with it exactly right, so that it does not become infected. I think they look beautiful, I just want to make sure I have everything there is to know about them down perfectly before I actually do it. Thank you!!!!

Something seems wrong to me about a huge chemical corporation buying a company that deals in natural, earth-friendly products. Now I'm looking for another company that has the same level of natural ingredients as Burt's Bees. Are Kiss My Face and Alba good? Or if you know of another please share.

My brother passed away a while ago and I miss him dearly so I am getting a tattoo to always have him with me. We both worked on his 65 fast back mustang together and he treasured that car like it was his baby and I was thinking of getting the mustang emblem on my wrist with his birthdate and date of death since the car meant so much to him. What color should I get?

I know it comes down to what I think of it and that does play a big role in getting this but I was curious what others thought and honestly is appreciated.

On the side of my ribs I was thinking of this have a little orange medicine bottle you get from the doctor but have the lid popped open and have music notes flying out of it going upward. Reason for that is because I love music and have been into it since a very young age and it has just shaped who I am. So what do you think of that ?
