Tattoos - July 2007

Reasons for having them and the physical pain involved?Do they bring much satisfaction or rewards?What is the general thinking by others without tattoos?
Need your inputs to advise a nephew of mine.Thanks!

I just got a little heart smaller than a dime on my ankle but he didn't wear gloves. He used a new needle and he wiped off the ink with a paper towel. He also had dirty fingernails.Is that safe or should I be worried?

My Husband is looking for some things to fill the empty space on his partial sleeve tattoos and he already has the eagle, globe and anchor and is dedicating the rest of the open space to more Marine Corps stuff. He wants to use the engravings on the sword but we cant find any close up pics.

People always ask me for meanings behind my tats, and while some do have them, some dont. I always get the impression that if I tell something a tat doesn't have any meaning then they look down on me. To be honest I think that people who just get tattoos for the artistic reason tend to appreciate and enjoy their tattoos more as time goes on.

Why does this stupid prejudice exist?

I'm 14 and I would like to get a tattoo on my lower back. My friend has a tattoo and she's 14. I forgot to ask her where she got it done. I live in New Hampshire and I don't know the legal age I'd have to be with parental consent... Can anyone help?

I am going to get it on the outside of my calf most likely. I'm looking for a symmetrical and colorful symbol, possibly celtic.
Thanks...

I'm 17 years old and have wanted a tattoo for some time now. I've drawn a few out, and even drawn them in sharpie on myself to see if I would like them on my body. I'm still not sure if it's a good decision though, as tattoos have become really common and meaningless for a lot of people. All of my tattoos will have some meaning behind them- I won't just get a bunch of stars or a butterfly because it looks pretty. So if anyone has any opinions about getting inked, or any stories about your own tattoos it would be greatly appreciated!

I am getting my septum pierced in two weeks. I am going to a place with a very good reputation, and I know two people who have personally gotten pierced and tattooed at this particular parlor.

What should I look for to make sure everything is standard? I've never been pierced or tattooed before, so I don't know if everything should be packaged, how much disinfecting they should be doing to the tools, etc.

Also, how likely is it that I may get AIDS? I am HYPER paranoid, but I'd just like to know. And yes, I realize that I'd have to be pierced with the same needle that someone with AIDS got pierced with. That's why I need to know what should packaged, disinfected, etc

Yesterday I went to a permanent cosmetic establishment that also removes tattoos, what they do is tattoo a saline solution and antiseptic onto your tatt then they mix sea salt with water and place it on top of the tatt to extract the ink. They then scoop it off (no rubbing it in).I have to wait till it scabs over and let it fall off naturally to see the results and the lady said it continues to fade months later. I know someone else has had this done out there. Im wondering what your results where and did you have scarring? I couldnt do much research about this procedure because there is none on the web!! Its not salabration or dermabrasion...the place i went to didn't have many pic results but this establishment is certified with the board of permanent cosmetics and on the local news alot for donating this to x gang members. My arm is killing me and is still a bright red, but I'm not too worried YET. Anyone that has had this done, your opinion about it is most definetely appreciated!!

A friend of mine told me that there is non-permanent tattoo, it is like the tattoo can last for 3-4 years only. Is it true? So far, I have not heard of non-permanent tattoo, I thought all tattoo are permaent???

My husband and I have a few tattoos each. We both recently got one (two days ago) and he insists that he should put triple antibiotic ointment on it. I did that once to one and then later was told by the artist, that had to re-do it, that I used "too much" triple antibiotic ointment. They don't even tell you know to use that. I was told to just use soap and water, then when dry a thin layer of non fragranced, hypoallergenic lotion. Mine is doing well. My husband, quite larger, was given an actual tattoo salve, (called tat wax) but yet he is still using triple antibiotic ointment, stating "it can't hurt". I don't think he/we should be using any ointment they didn't tell us to use when we left the tattoo place. His tat is actually red looking all around it. So, is he supposed to be using the triple antibiotic ointment and could it actually be harming the fresh tattoo?

I like tatoos but I don't know if I can comit to a permanent one. I was wondering if there is an option to getting temporary tatoos that are not the kind you stick on with water.

K. So my husband is deploying to Iraq and will not be able to wear his wedding ring for safety reasons. So we are wanting to do some kind of tattooing on our fingers so he can still have that representation. Ive read alot about how if you get a band all the way around it will fade on the underside of your finger very quickly. So I thought we could get each others names tattooed very small on top of our fingers. Shane on mine and Amanda on his. (My theory here is that people at amusement parks put your name on rice all the time. ???) I have had a really horrible time trying to find pictures on the web. Alot of talk about tattooed wedding bands but like no pictures. So if someone could tell me where to find some or just some more good advice, Id really appreciate it. Also, we both already have tattoos...if thats important. ??? And we'd like them to be small enough to be hidden under our rings. Between an 1/8th of an inch and a 1/6th of an inch. :S A design of ivy wouldnt be bad. Thanks!
