Are there artists out there that are still telling people to do this? When I got my first ink, neosporin was thought to be the best thing, that was a long time ago but even then vaseline was bad and A&D wasn't far behind. Now there have been several discoveries in the world of body art and I haven't heard of any artist recommending the use of such heavy, mineral based ointments in years because they clog pores, impeed the healing process and can even cause damage to the art. So why do people still use them and why are they recommending them to others?

what was your experience with your nipple piercings? I want my done. both.. horizontal. lol what kind of jewelry do they use, besides captive bead rings. ? curved barbells? or straight?

do they make them "permanentl perky" (erect?)
do they hurt more in cold weather?
how bad was the piercing itself? i have 4 cartilage piercings which includes a rook. didnt hirt me that much..
did it snag alot on your clothing?
how many weeks, or months were they sore for?
do they make your nipples more sensitive? or does it take away sensitivity? i have heard both....

Ok - to make this easier...I'll just # the questions? Thanks so much....

1. My tattoo is being done for free by the artist that did my first one. I found out that he normally charges approx 200 for the tattoo that I'm getting as an addition...is $100 tip good? He's also going to do any necessary touch up work on my existing tattoo that he's adding to.

2. The orig tattoo is on my lower back on the left side. The addition is going to be my daughter's Chinese name (her real one)...it's going to be put on closer to my spine. If the tattoo isn't directly on the spine, does it hurt as badly or is it just super painful on the actual spine?

3. For those mommies that had babies. I have one daughter already but not sure down the line if my hubby and I will have another, did any of your lower back tattoos distort alot or anything?

*ugh...the stress of getting the tattoo is making me have second thoughts again. :S

So I know they shave you when you get a tattoo, but what happens when the hair grows back? If it is a fairly hairy area does the heir distort the tattoo? I want to get a tattoo on my calf muscle but I have quite a bit of hair there and not sure what it will do.

Looking for a tattoo to put on my right arm. Or any good pictures, or quotes. I'm looking for something to do with the National Guard, or just the Army.

I am thinking about getting a tattoo to cover a very ugly c-section scar that i had 17yrs ago! My problem is, it is indented. Do you think i would still be able to get a tattoo to cover it? I also have bad stretch marks around there too. I have other tattoo's, but i have never asked a tattoo artist about this.

I've recently taken up studying Buddhism & I was wondering if Buddhists have any special kinds of tattoos? I know that mayans & other middle eastern tribes have special tattoos. Thanks

How long should I wait to get my tattoo filled in with color after I get it (I can't afford getting color at the same time I get the outline)? I'm thinking two weeks, until I get my next pay check. But yeah.. suggestions would be great!

evryone that buys a tattoo over 80$ gets a 5 dollar gift certificate to mcdonalds

there are cable tvs in the waiting room

the tattoo artists greet you with a smile and a hand shake

the prices are around average

there are walls around the tattoo chairs

the have a fridge where you can buy pop and juice as well (snack machine)

when your done the tattoo artist walks you out to your car

if someone buys a tattoo over 1000 dollars the owner
delivers a free pizza to the clients house with a smile

wheel chair accesable

well would you be a client?

Laptop, that is. The title is mainly for the people who are savy to my computer dilema.

OK, a question. Are your tattoos themed, or more like a collage of your past?

Instead I have been left with scarring. I was considering covering it up with something like a rose, but am concerened because I am in the process of becoming a teacher. How do you feel about teachers with visible tattoos. And how has your experience in the matter been like.

I LOVE art and drawing. i think being a tattoo artist would be the best job! (even though i dont have any tattoos of my own yet) how do you start out? Just get a job at a tattoo/body piercing shop? and get tot know the people and see if you can have an apprenticsship with them. i know its a long shot. but for all the tattoo artists out ther i would love to draw and create beautiful art on people. a few peopel already have flowers tattooed on them that i drew out for them... lol I have all of the basic art classes and im taking in life drawing (nude) class right now and love it. =]


what was youe experience as staring out as an artist? how do you like it? is the pay well?

thanks for yoru input!

i'm looking to do a lemon with lettering, but i'm not sure where. i plan on having kids to i'd like to avoid places that tend to stretch out. its probably going to be around the size of a cell phone, or a bit smaller.

I have wanted a tattoo for about ten years now, and have finally found a snowflake design that I love. Would like to have three or four of different sizes falling between my shoulder blades. Im fair skinned...would white ink take?
Will it fade to a dirty yellow? Would really appreciate your advice.

I've had my belly button pierced for 3 months and I think it's time to change it. When i went to change it, it wouldn't come undone. I tried the top and bottom ball and no matter what I do it won't come undone. What do I do???
