Tattoos - December 2007

I am thinking of getting my first tattoo. Curious if it hurts a lot on your wrist and/or foot?
Also, I get keloids! Does anyone know if me getting a tattoo will cause me to get a keloid?

thanks

Occasionally I notice that some lines and areas in my tattoos get kind of swollen or just raised. I don't really feel it, no pain or anything. I've had them for over a year now, they're fully healed, ect. I think I remember my artist talking about this once, but I can't recall. Does this happen to anyone? Why?

I am wanting a tattoo, and if the purple lotus signifies what i need it too, then thats what i will get. But I really do not want to make a mistake.

I would really appreciate an answer from anyone who has the info i need.

So, I got my first tattoo back in June, and I've always wanted to eventually have my whole back done, but I wasn't exactly thinking when I got this in terms of how I could make it work with other pieces on my back.
It's on my left back shoulder, its the Simba drawing that Rafiki draws on the tree in the Lion King. It's about 3 inches.
Any ideas on how I can work off of it and still have my back look nice? I was planning on having my whole back done piece by piece not all at once...some things I was considering were maybe flowers/roses for my mom, maybe something elvis related, more animals...yea. Im not planning on getting my next one for maybe another year so don't tell me im rushing into this and that if i need to ask i shouldnt get one, i would just like some opinions. Thanks!
any ideas would be appreciated!

I just got my tattoo from a guy who is new to it and he drew it freehand and it did not come out even. How long do I have to wait for someone to go back over it to try and fix it, or what are some other ways I can fix it he shaded the outside of the tattoo without even asking me and I dont like it and the cross is not even the same size on both sides.

My partner is just starting to practise tattooing on himself, when he does a line, it doesnt come out like a solid line, parts of it are transperant - whats the problem? Is the needle not out enough? Is there not enough ink? Is he going to quick? Is the needle going too fast?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!

i wanna know. a lot of my friends think i'm crazy to want to tattoo myself similar to kat von d. i love her tattoos. i think she's so pretty. why do people see them as scars? not art? i don't get it. with all the colors and designs and everything, they aren't ugly. i am not a weirdo, freak, or psycho. anybody else with tattoos have this problem?
i hear people say you'll never get a job with those tatoos unless you work in a parlor. you have to cover them up. its bananas.

first off, if your belly piercing is infected, how do you heal it WITHOUT going to the doctor? i've heard numerous things, peroxide to dry it out, just keep cleaning, what would you suggest? my piercing is just still really red, but no puss or anything.

also, i was told not to change the original ring that they pierced it with until 3 months was up. my 3 months is in february, so i wanna know would if be bad if i changed it in january instead? will anything happen if i change it early, or am i just waiting for nothing really?? i got new rings for christmas and wanna put them in but i don't know what will happen if i do..

help would be appreciated.

I got a good sized tattoo right above the outside of my left ankle on Thursday... I'm taking care of it the way I should, and it looks fine and is starting to scab, but still hurts like hell. It's still super tender to the touch and when my pants hit it, it kills... I have three other tattoos that didn't seem to do this, but they are in spots that don't get a lot of movement. The artist told me that being on my feet a lot may cause it to swell. But by a few days later with my other tats, the pain was gone. Is it just cause of the placement of it? I'd call him, but I doubt he'll be tattooing on Christmas Eve or Christmas... Haha.

We want to get matchin tattoos of something but we dont know what. Nothing to manly but nothing girly for him. We thought about a chinese symbol for love but when i look it up i find like 5 symbols that mean love so i'm not sure which one is correct. Do you have any other ideas on tattoos?

I got my tattoo done on Thursday and the skin is starting to peel today. Some of the color is coming off as the skin comes off as well. Is this normal?

Do you tip the apprentice at a tattoo shop who is doing work to practice for free? There is no charge on him doing the tat!

I'm getting my first tattoo at a very nice shop this saturday. It's about 1 hour and 15 minute drive from my place. The session is 4-5 hours for a sleeve from shoulder to little past the elbow (75% of arm). MY QUESTIONS ARE..........

1. Will I be fine to drive there myself (that is, driving back home myself)?

2. Is it rude to listen to an I-Pod during my session?

3. If the artist asks if I want to take a break... does that actually mean the ARTIST wants a break? Because I know I won't want to take a break....

4. I've been saving $ up for a long time now... I can barely afford this but should I tip the artist? It is $150/hour...where does the money go? (mostly to the shop or artist?)

5. Are there any foods I should avoid? (acidic foods? fatty foods? high-sodium food?) I know not to take aspirin but what about tylenol?

6. Should I wear short-sleeve as much as possible or is a sweater ok? Will the fabric bother the tattoo?

I think that's it... Unless?
