Tattoos - January 2007

I'm a 34 year old mom & have 3 tattoos (ankle flower lei, dragon fly upper center back, and plumeria flowers along lower back.) I'd like to get a whole back piece and wouldn't even mind an upper arm piece. It would be something floral & colorful not anything dark & evil looking. The only thing is that as much as I love the way tatts look on guys, I still look at girls that are heavily tatte'd & think they look rough & dirty. My husband is all for it but what if someday I got a job where it mattered???? I mean my bro is a cop & he's got his whole back & both arms (to sleeve line) done, so I guess as long as it can be covered up it should be ok. Do you think ladies w/ tatts look trashy???

just come back from getting my second one, and the colours are great but not very blended. just wondered if over time as it heals they blend more, so they dont look so....stripey.

does anyone know a website where they have really cool tattoos? I want to get one but i can't seem to find one that really interests me. I am really into the tribal symbols and sometimes the whole fairy mythical thing.

Im going today to get from my shoulder to my elbow sleeved out. Well they have to do all the outline and small deails today then when it heals I go and get it colored in and finished. My question is how long will it take for the first session of my tattoo to heal before I can go get it completely done? Thanks.

I am getting a tattoo soon and I'm not quite sure if I should tip the artist. It is his business, so he keeps what he charges.

I've recently found myself addicted to getting tattos. I've seen pictures of people with blacklight or UV tattoos, but none of them were african american. I was wondering would they show up under the blacklight on my skin before I go out and spend lots of money only to be let down in the end. I'm currently living in Washington State and would like any inout you may have Thanks, Matt

Has anyone every had their cartilage pierced at Merle Norman? I really want to get mine done, and my mom is going to let me (since I am 17), but I am not sure where to do it, I really don't know much about cartilage piercings. What type of piercing does the stud and the loop or whatever. Will Merle Norman do that kind? When you get your cartiledge peirced do you have to put an earing in it right away like I had to when I got my lobes done? And if you do, does Merle Norman have them or do I have to bring my own. One last question, how much would it cost at Merle Norman?

Thanks, in advance all HELPFUL answers are greatly apreciated. The butts that think its funny to just put something so they can get "points" need to just keep looking.

*~How to care for your tattoo

*~it takes about 2 weeks to heal, and 2 more weeks to settle in.
*~Keep your new tattoo bandaged for 1 hour. Remove bandage and wash tattoo gently with cool, and soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, lightly pat dry with a clean towel.
*~DO NOT re-bandage your tattoo.
*~DO NOT use vaseline or petroleum jelly.
*~DO NOT use alcohol or peroxide.
*~DO NOT pick or scratch tattoo.
*~DO NOT soak tattoo in shower or tub
*~Stay out of pools, hot tubs and oceans for 2 weeks.
*~Keep tattoo out of direct sunlight and tanning beds.
*~With clean hands, apply thin layer of antibiotic ointment such as Help It, Neosporin or Bacitracin 2 to 3 times a day for 4-5 days, after that switch to a good lotion.
*~Do not over lubricate your tattoo, don't let it dry out either. Should any seepage occur, gently dab off excess with a clean paper towel.
*~If a rash occurs (bumps on or around the tattoo as with allergic reaction) or redness persists, stop use and call your artist

I recently got my first tattoo. The line work is fine, the greens are fine, the gray is fine, but anything that was mixed with white has been completely pushed out of my skin. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. But after consulting with tattoo artists from the area, most of them said that I had an allergic reaction to the nickel in the ink. So my question is, is there non allergenic/nickel free ink because if I can't get this tattoo fixed in a few weeks, it's going to look awful. If there are any tattoo artists out there that might be able to help I would really appreciate it.

Thank you SO much!

I am planning on putting a memorial tattoo on my wrist for my friend Jeremy who was killed in Iraq. But I also want it to be in memory or all the men/women we lost...... the problem I'm having is coming up with something small enough to put on my wrist! I've been thinking of putting the words "Never forgotten" there (but I don't know how words would turn out after time!) I thought of maybe putting a symbol, but I don't want some huge artwork on my wrist either....... I don't know - I just need some help/opinions!
