Tattoos - December 2006

I've got a large butterfly on my lower back (how cliche, right?). Anyway, when my friend first designed it, she said I HAD to get it colored in. Well, I didn't. But once she saw it, just in black, she said she liked it better like that, without the color.

So I was just wondering - do you guys like tattoos better with lots of color, or just black?

so i got it pierced just over a week ago and everything was fine until a few days ago, it started swelling and burning up. the next day it was pretty obvious it was infected, bright red, painful, really swollen. ive been taking ibroprufen and doing sea salt soaks and using anti-septic spray. the infection is affecting my lymph glands.. so my throat is swollen and the side of my face, like a 50p size, has become hard and swollen,. oh and its affecting my hearing through the pierced ear. yesterday i went to the doctors and he gave me anti-biotics but said if theres no improvement within 48 hours to take it out. now i know its generally said not to take it out because it will trap the infection, but dont u think doctors know what they're talking about? i dont know. anyway, the infection has been really draining me, ive been quite ill and tired alot.
do you think it will clear up? ive taken a days worth of anti-biotics and it doesnt seem to have made a difference..
what should i do?

I was thinking about getting my FIRST tattoo when I turn 60yrs old.
- I figured I would know what I want by then.
- Gravity will have hit, so it would not change much.
- I also heard colors last for 30 years.... so that would set me up for the rest of my life.......

I got a tattoo on Thursday. I am following my tattoo artist instructions. But I am still in some pain. The skin is a little red too. But there isn't any puss or blood. It seems to be healthy.

I've been thinking about getting a tatoo for a while, or ather, a *specific* tattoo for a while. My last name is Corbett, and I tracked down my family heritage. I found that the "family crest" is a Silver Shield with a Raven on top of it, and the "family motto" is "Deus pascit corvos." which translates "God feeds the ravens."

I've kind of been getting into learning about my family heritage, which consists of Scottish/Irish (Celtic all around), and Native American. I thought about getting a tatoo of a shield with a raven drawn in the middle , with a scroll/ribbon swirled around, with the words "Deus pascit corvos." written.

I'm not sure yet. If I'm gonna get a tattoo, I want it to be something meaningful (and something I'm not gonna regret later), but a cross just seems way too common. I don't like real colorful tattoos, but I like them to have a lot of detail. So, what are yall's thoughts on this?

The main tattoo is brightly colored and intensely. There is a separate smaller tattoo on the top in solid red. This smaller piece is highly faded and a less intense tone of red compared to the red tones in the main tattoo. The tattoo is nine days old. I took excellent aftercare precautions. I removed the bandage after three hours and washed the area gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Every day I have applied a thin layer of Bepanthen cream after leaving the shower and patting the area dry. The rest of the tattoo is perfect. This one area has healed very poorly. The red tone is less bright and vivid almost pink rather than the deep blood red I desired. I believe I need to go back next week for extra work on it. What could have caused this to occur? The area flaked as normal and it's a separate area that has the poor healing.
