It's a small tattoo on the wrist or forearm.

Anchor tattoos usually mean they have a bf/family member that's in the navy.. maybe the woman is in the navy or lost someone who was in the navy. All different reasons. Maybe they just like ships & wanted an anchor!
I have a tattoo of Live Love Laugh on the underside of my right wrist. It's just where I wanted it.. I know people are starting to get it there now but that's just what happens. A trend catches on. I mean, how many people have tattoos on their calf or arm or back of their neck?

Tattoo After Care Regime?
Carolyn H
I would like to hear some different Tattoo Care methods that people use. I have used many, but really want to hear the best ones. Each artist has a different plan. Are there different products that heal certian areas of the body better?
Answer
I have quite a few tattoos-- everywhere from my feet to forearms.
I use noxzema to wash them (pump bottle is better so it doesnt get bacteria into the tub from your hands or anything) instead of regular soap. It cools the hot feeling on your skin that lasts a few days, and very gently cleans. It is designed for the face, so it is not harsh on the skin like a lot of other cleansers, but still gives you a gentle deep clean. I didn't pull this out of my @$$. I learned this from an incredible tattoo artist, a woman who has been tattooing over 30 years. That is her tried and true secret to easy healing, and it REALLY makes a phenomenal difference.
I wash my tattoos somewhat excessively during their healing, and with 2-3 days, I am already peeling. When applying an ointment (some advise against bactracin or A&D, and others will swear by one or the other) i use MINUTE amounts of bacitracin, because of a boss of mine-- he is a tattoo artist also tattooing over 30 years, and his tattoos are in crazy good shape still. Anyway, I will use a tiny bit of ointment after I wash the tattoo-- just barely enough to make it covered very very thinly or else you may lose some quality in the color because it is healed out. As SOON as I start peeling I switch to a very neutral lotion, no scents, no fragrances, and I never use Lubriderm. I keep the tattoo very clean still and apply the lotion even AFTER it has healed.
This method has worked fantastically for me since I started getting tattooed (about 6 ago). I have worked in 2 tattoo shops and learned a lot from coworkers/artists, and also from the incredible people who have tattooed me. Using this method, 5 days after the tattoo was inked, I am completely finished peeling. Some people take up to 2 weeks.
I find that every part of my body loves this procedure :) Some areas will need extra care-- for instance, when I tattooed the whole top/sides of my foot, it was summer so I could wear flip flops during healing-- but I had to wash it SO SO constantly because it would get dirty. I ended up using tattoo goo's antimicrobial soap about once a day to make sure I killed ANY kind of bacteria that got into it.
