I'm not questioning the popularity of tattooing itself. It's an ancient art of ornamenting one's body whether one likes it or not. But why the hell put Chinese or Hebrew on your body while you aren't Chinese or Jewish? Is the whole world going through an identity crisis?

I want to get his name but I also want a design, i don't know of what but I don't want it to be too baby-ish! but I also want people to know it's for my baby. Everyone disagrees with getting it on my lower back, but I kinda like the idea, so i don't know about that one. I don't want a portrait of him, so please help with any ideas.

I've heard it can restrict injections you can get in the future, and might be bad for you.

alright, so ive got a new tattoo and im stationed in another country with no real on base store other than a convienence store. i was told to put A and D ointment on but appear to be having an allergic reaction to it (getting a rash around the tattoo). i got it 4 days ago, and now i need to find something else to use. so, i need some opinions on what else will work that wont pull the ink out (i.e. neosporin)

I got my first tattoo friday and I love it. But my mom completely freaked out. She said I was a disappoint me and she never wants to talk to me again. But everything was fine today and back to normal because she found a place she wants me to go to have it removed. Should I do it to make her happy or should I leave it because it makes me happy?

Ok, I am really wanting a tatto on my left shoulder that has something to do with friendship, loyalty and love. Heres the story, going through high school I had 5 extreamly close friends, we still are very very close, and we called each other the "circle" (this is important cus everyone knows who we are talking about when we say the circle and I want it imcorperated into the tatto) and I want a tatto that shows our friendship, loyalty, and love for each other. I am trouble coming up wiht a design I want for it but I want it to incorperate the "circle" mean and the 5 guys (6 with me). If you would please post any idea or links to sketches that you have made it would be greatly appreactated for my first tatto. Thanks a lot.

Lets just say that maybe you woke up sunday morning and felt like a buffalo had stomped your head in because you had to much to drink the night before and was in the shower when you noticed a great big tattoo of a elephant eating a penguin on your stomach? Is this some sort of cult sign or something? Like could it mean anything or is it just the dumest thing somebody could possibly think of if really drunk. Would it really turn off women if they saw it? how much would it cost to get removed? Could this happen if somebody was passed out?
I swear I'm gonna write a dang book someday.

Hello all, Just doing an informal survey here, I'm having a tattoo covered in March. It's was my first tattoo. I made a poor stupid decision and picked a piece of flash off of the wall and let an idiot (TRAVIS) at a local shop tattoo me. Now its four years later and I now have some GOOD ink on me and this hideous purple piece of crap has to go. There's going to be a tattoo convention near me in March. I went to the website, looked at the lists of featured artists, checked out their websites and contacted the one I liked best. I sent him a pic of the tatt to cover....we worked everything out this weekend. Then he tells me that I'm going to be his only appointment on Saturday. I have 8 to 9 hours booked to do this coverup. As a featured artist he will have a camera watching over his shoulder and projecting the whole process on to the big screen in the arena. So am all excited and nervous. The longest I've ever sat before is 2 hours.....can anybody out there tell me how 8 hours will be?

I am a type 2 diabetic and I am getting a tatto that will take 3 sittings. Should I wait an additional week or 2 between sittings to allow for proper healing due to my diabetes? My sugar levels are 70-80.

I have an appointment to get a tattoo on my lower back it is about 6 inches long and 2 inches tall and will be centered on my back. I am excited but was just wondering about the pain level. My boyfriend and I are going to get tattoos together so he will be there to distract me. I got my nipples pierced and that hurt, but the pain went away after about two hours. So how bad will the lower back tat hurt??

I just found this Answers thing Last month. Itt started over some retarded politcal question I saw on a search. Then I realized that there was a tattoo category, and now I am hooked. I see many of the same people every day, and feel like I know some of you already. (sniff)

I will continue to fight my battle with the term 'tramp stamp", although I think I am losing. I will continue to give nice blunt answers to the people who come here to spew their retarded narrow minded comments. I'm sure I'll get some for this post.

Anyways if any of you happen to see me on the streets of Bakersfield, don't be afraid to say hi! I am not a sicko so don't worry!

I dont know what to get though, I don't want to approach the tattoo artist with empty ideas, I was thinking a grenade, maybe camoflauge flames, or a dog tag, anyone have any suggestions.
