Tattoos - October 2007

I am considering doing an internship in Mexico teaching and the job description says no body piercings or tattoos. I can easily take out my earrings but my tattoos are another thing.

I love my tattoos and don't regret them, but will need to cover them up if I do apply for this teaching posisiton (maximum of 6 months in Mexico). My tats on my legs are easy to cover with pants, but my wrist and ear are another matter.

Any ideas?

I found a design I really love on a website, but I will not have someone else's design on me, so how can I change it a little to make it my own

I just finished my sleeve and I went to the store to buy some bacitracian. Of course, looking for a decent sized tube of bacitracian is almost impossible. I found Bacitracian with moisturizing aloe in it. I was just told by my friend that his tattoo artist said its a no-no to use anything with aloe. Since my tattoo is almost healed now is there any negative side effects I should look out for like a loss of color or scars?????

It is two words, and the initials are T.J.

How does it exist and make money? I can't see anyone buying anything (?) If you did, do you also pay for air? Because I'd be happy to sell you some air in a jar on Ebay. It's special air that you can't get anywhere else except outside my house.

I'm assuming it is just part of one big complex of tattoo sites like the "celebrity tattoos" etc.

Can anyone direct me to a site for a claddagh design, with the view to getting a tattoo? I just want something very delicate and simple. Also, can anyone tell me, how painful is getting a tattoo on your wrist. I do not have any.

Sorry for all the tattoo questions, but I think of something new every few minutes to ask.

A lot of people have told me to eat before I get the tattoo. And I will try to do that. But what about eating DURING the tattoo? I want to bring some candy to keep my blood sugar up. Would candy be alright to eat, or should I go for something more like....a granola bar?

I'm thinking of getting a lower back tattoo. I heard that if you get one that if you have kids later, you can't have an epidoral while giving birth. Is it true? If you get one there does it stretch badly if you gain or lose weight?

I know a lot of friends who are coming up to that age! and lots of them are having tattoos done for the first time, did you have your first tattoo later in life? or have you been drawn on from a younger age?

-K- I want to get a tattoo on my left arm almost identical to this one on this link... http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/artist_biographies/snoopy_pilot.jpg
I am wanting to know how much would one like this cost me if I want it from my shoulder to my elbow. Mabye a little smaller. It won't be a square like that. It'll just fade away around it so it looks good. And even more important, could it be done in that detail? Thanks!

I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the psychology of it. Thoughts? Especially from women who have such a tattoo --- why?

Note: "Because I like it" "Because I think it's cute" etc are lame answers. It's obvious that the person "likes" it -- the question is WHY they like/want it (there are causes behind our likes and dislikes).

Here's an example:

Feminism, anyone?

I'm considering getting a tattoo. However, a couple of years ago I got my ear pierced and didn't take care of it properly. It got infected and then developed a small keloid. I'm concerned about getting a tattoo if I'm predisposed to keloids. The thing is, that was my first and only keloid, and I'm a white male (and I've read keloids with this demo is rare) and I've had acne on my back leaving plenty of scars which have never developed keloids. Am I really predisposed to developing keloids and am I risking a keloid by getting a tattoo?

It's an angel in the center of my back. It's starting to blur, it wasn't done well, and I want to get something done better. How hard is it to cover a tattoo?

Help, please! I've been trying to find an answer to my question. I already have a few tattoos and have the chance to get another with one of my fav artists in a couple of weeks. BUT, here's the deal; I would see him on Monday and then I'm scheduled for gallbladder surgery Friday of the same week.
Is it okay to get a tattoo just days before a major surgery? If not, how long should I wait after surgery to get one?
I've posted this for a friend.

I got a tattoo 27 years ago on my left butt cheek that says "Property of Ted". This was my husband at that time and we kind of hung out with the biker crowd and I thought it was like the ultimate proof of my love for him, so I had it done.

Now of course I'm no longer with him, and am about to become involved in a relationship that looks like it's going to become permanent. I really haven't paid too much attention to the tattoo all this time, didn't really care about it too much, but now I don't want it anymore at all.

It's about 3 inches long and an inch high. Would it be better to try to cover it up with something else, another tattoo, or would having it removed actually REMOVE it, and leave no trace that it was ever there? It's done in all black ink text, no colors ever there, or designs, just the words.
