Tattoos - February 2007

I already have my tongue & upper ear pierced, which they hurt, but I handled it shockingly well. The tongue obviously hurt the most, which I pierced 3 times, because I kept waiting to long to put the barbell back in. Um, going to get it done tomorrow so jus trying to get an idea of how much pain to expect. Do you think taking some medication like Vicodine or even just tylenol will help any? Or will it complicate the piercing, since I heard to not take any pills or alcohol because something to do with the bleeding afterwards.

I was wondering what the legal age to get tattooed in Georgia is, and/or what states (besides Alabama) are there that the legal age to get tattooed is 17? Thanks.

I just got my 1st tattoo. Its small and on my wrist, two hearts, one black, one red. At the top of the black heart one side is not even rounded! The red one doesnt close at the tip or the dip! And the shading looks a lil sloppy too. Also, my arm is really throbbing, and not so much painful, but more like its causing a lot of discomfort. It depends on the elevation of my arm. Is that normal? Its not all red and swollen.

I got a beautiful tattoo yesterday on the top of my foot. The receptionist at the shop said that her foot tattoo became extremely swollen and that she just put some ice on it.. Well mine IS extremely swollen but on top of that I noticed that there are bumps on the shaded areas of my tattoo (which is one of the symptoms I read from being allergic to neosporin which is what I have been using). My foot is in a lot of pain and it is hard to walk but it doesn't seem to be coming from the skin itself just the flesh underneath the skin if that makes sense..

I was looking at sites and saw that you can have an allergic reaction to the neosporin and that it will draw all of the color from it. I'm not sure if I have just managed to scare myself or if I could possibly be having an allergic reaction. I'm actually more worried about having the allergic reaction and it causing the color to go away than anything.. I paid $150 for this beautiful piece of work.

Please advise.

i just did a tattoo and posted a question where everyone yelled at me for using a safety pin because theyre "impossible" to sterilize. first of all, its not like i found it on the street or walked up to the nearest hiv + guy to get it. this was a fresh from the factory straight out of the sealed container. secoundly ive never had any problems with them, ive done most of my peircings with safety pins and have never had a major infection. in fact the only major infection ive had was just following the peircing of my left lobe, and you know what this one i had professionally done, so i dont know what conclusions you could draw from this but, what the **** is the problem with safety pins?

Not too big. Maybe just slightly bigger than 1" by 1".

I'm thinking of getting this design custom made for a tattoo:

a dragon breathing fire on a knight in armor, knight is not in good shape - dented armor, burned face, etc, helmet is off and lying on the ground, knight is holding shield up to block the flames. whole scene surrounded by a circle of fire. meanwhile, a horse is galloping towards the fight scene, a broken chain around its ankle.

all the objects in this can be interpreted as symbols.

what do you think, and if i do get it, where should it go?

It's a little tiny green lizard. I got it on my right wrist so that I can see it & to be very careful what I touch. In the Bible it says that people are not to touch the "bearded dragon" which is a type of lizard. Now in the New Living Bible it talks about fighting a crocodile (reptile) and how it can shoot flames from its mouth. Do you think this is a warning against doing something you might regret because your secrets might get around? Also if you have any info about this particular section of the Bible, I'd love to hear about it. Thanx.

Okay so I've wanted a tattoo for a while, and decided that I want a star on the lower right hand side of my stomach, it's going to be a star (two of them, one outlining the other). The outer star is going to be solid black and the other is going to be rainbow (yes I'm gay...) I already know who the tattoo artist is, she does awsome work, she's the one who did my ex-bf's (now best friends =] ) tatts... I wanted to know what the upkeep would be and tips, etc... I'm not going too large but I want it noticable... I'm pretty much set on the location and it involving a star, thats for sure. The ex-bf is a REALLY good artist, so thinking about asking him to design me a tattoo involving what I described, see what he thinks...

So I'm new to the Boston area and didn't get a chance to get my second tattoo before I moved. My first was done by this guy in the Bronx who is really well known and came highly recommended, and the tat looks great. I get compliments on detail, color, etc. I wish it were easier to go back down to the Bronx and get all my tats there, but it's not.

So, I'm looking for an artist in Boston that has the same credentials. I'm not saying he/she has to have tattooed celebrities...just that they have a good reputation and portfolio. I've gone to see one guy in Boston already who was on an online article for being a hot stuff artist in Boston, but he wanted to charge me $200 bucks for this relatively small black cross, with no detail in it whatsoever. That seems to be the problem with "famous" artists...they feel they can charge an arm and a leg because of their name.

Does anyone here in Boston know a shop that I'd be impressed with? I'd prefer one that has a website, so I can view the work.
