Tattoo behind ear... do people notice?

rowanhmcki

I was thinking about getting a tatoo behind my right ear.
I was wondering if
a. it hurts more than normal (because there's no fat, just bone)
b. is there any risk to my ear, hearing, brain, etc.
c. i wanted it to be pretty inconspicuous, is it pretty obvious (I am a girl with long hair but I may have short someday)

Answer
I have a tattoo behind my ear and out of the 7 tattoos I have, it was the least painful. It was just a little odd to have the machine vibrating right there. There is no risk of damage etc.

If I wear my hair up, I get a few comments on it, but it is very colorful and about 2 inches big. But if I wear my hair down, you can't even see it.

Tattoo Behind the Ear for male?

Kevin

Ok I was thinking about getting a tattoo behind my ear at some point. I was just wondering a few things.

Most pictures I see online of behind the ear tattoos are on girls. Are behind the ear tattoos not socially excepted on males or something?

What good ideas to people have of a nice tattoo? I was thinking about like a music note or something. Since I'm big music fan. I don't want anything un-classy. Just something cool and appropriate

Would it really effect colleges and job applications? Seems like that would be discrimination and would be illegal.
Well I am almost 17 right now, so I suppose I have a year to think about it anyway.

As for appearance, I don't look like a gang member heh. I have 1 earing on my left ear that is a simple small silver loop. I have average length hair. Not really short but not to long either. I probably look more preppy then gangster with the clothes I wear.

Answer
I have a guy friend that has one behond his ear. It just may effect you getting a job, depending on the job or even where you live. Maybe you should get the job/get into college first and then get the tattoo. Here are some pics of other guys with behind the ear tattoos. Oh and if your hair is long enough it could cover it!

Good place for hidden tattoo?? ?

animalover

Hey guys so ive been thinking of getting a tattoo for years but i never though of anything and my family has always been against it. Well bottom line is im getting a paw print tattoo in memory of my dog (had him for 10 yrs) with his name on it OR with The mickey face outline thing (the disney one) because he had a mark on his leg that look exacly like the mickey one but im not planning on telling my parents or anyone but my cousin so i need some hidden locations?? I was thinking on the place where the bra goes under your armpit?? Or something like that?? Because it also need to be hidden when im wearing bathing suits and stuff? Please give me some ideas! This is very important to me

Answer
Listen closely to your tattoo artists. And take the time to choose your tattoo artists wisely. So here they are in apparent order of preference:

1. Lower Back Tattoos - This is probably the first choice as a location for a woman getting her first tattoo. Sexy, sensual, exposed at the beach but covered up at the office. May be shared with a lover but hidden from the rest of the world - especially parents and Grandma. Celebs like Angelina Jolie her her lower back tiger tattoo and Jessica Alba's bow are two examples of lower back tattoos.

2. Wrist Tattoos - popular with starlets. And can be hidden under a watch or bracelet if need be. Winston Churchill's mother had a snake encircling her wrist. Examples would be Lindsay Lohan for her wrist tattoo "breathe" and Eminem for wrist tattoos.

3. Foot Tattoos - A famous holiday vacation splurge. The problem is that tattoos on feet tend to need a lot of touching up because of their propensity to fade quickly. Carrie Otis and Charlize Theron are known for their foot tattoos.

4. Ankle Tattoos - Popularized by super models Christy Turlington and Stephanie Seymour. Can be very delicate or a bold tribal design. Check out an entire gallery of celebrity ankle tattoos

5. Armband Tattoos (true, not a specific body part) - Was once the staple in tattoo parlors around the world. Seemed like other guy in the frat house had one. Pamela Anderson triggered a wave of barbwire. The tribal armband has bought a lot of tattoo artists a new Harley.

6. Back Tattoos (also, back-piece tattoos) - The largest blank canvas on the human body. Most tattoo artists will advise you to go as large as you can comfortably mange, and then go larger. Tattoos can be an alluring enthusiasm. You may think you just want one - and which tattoo artist hasn't heard that a thousand times or more - but keep in mind when choosing your tattoo design and placement how you might incorporate it into an even larger and more elaborate piece. Check out Lena Headey, 50 Cent & LeBron James for back tattoos.

7. Arm Tattoos (which often specifies, upper arm, lower arm, forearm, shoulder and even sleeves) - see Back Tattoos. A single Koi, can in time, become an entire Japanese inspired sleeve. See Amy Winehouse, David Beckham and Anouk for examples of arm tattoos.

8. Chest Tattoos - Pectorals are a favorite spot to make a man's chest look larger. And before you ladies protest, please see number nine. Examples of chest tattoos are Lenny Kravitz and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

9. Breast Tattoos (we're standing firm on the differences between chests and breasts) - Requests for information about breast tattoos has been so popular over the years that I wrote an article entirely on that premise, called "Gilding the Lily: Why We Tattoo Breasts" Examples are Teri Polo, Christina Ricci's Blue-bird and rapper Eve.

10. Neck Tattoos - Once a taboo area for most tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts, the explosion in tattooing in recent years has pushed back the boundaries of what meets the community standards of acceptable body art and tattoos. Where once men and women would have full tattoo body suits, necks hands and feet were left untouched so that an individual could "cover-up" their tattoos with a suit or long dress and pass incognito in a crowd or at certain conservative social functions. musicians and tattoo artists, individuals whose independent sources of income and public reputation as "outlaws, rogues and scoundrels", has allowed them in recent years to get tattoos that were once entirely associated with gang members or individuals who had spent time in prison. But if you want to get a job in a bank when your garage band folds, you might want to think twice. See Allen Iverson for neck tattoos. Robbie Williams has a neck tattoo as well.

Tattoo ?

FreyaWhite

I'm getting a tattoo for my 17th birthday(Yes I do know you have to be 18)
And I have no ideas of what to get at all. The idea of choosing something that has to stay with my through my life is daunting.
Ive googled tattoo designs but nothing good comes up. So any ideas?
Im looking for something artistic. Im a girly girl. Nothing too big. Any ideas?
Also would I be able to design my own and hand it in to the tattoo artist?

Answer
Ask yourself why do you feel that you have to get a tattoo, when you have no idea what you want, and you're not sure how you feel about having one for your whole life. What's your hurry? Someone holding a gun to your head?
Really, it is a good rule of thumb, to not get a tattoo, unless you have an image/idea that you thought of yourself, always related to, or just 'knew' that it was right for you. If you have nothing in your head, please don't just grab something, just to do it. There are a lot of other good ideas for your 17th birthday gift.
If you 'just have to do it' .. well my advise would be to go for a flower. (unless you hate them..) but they age well, there is a huge variety or shape, style, color, and size. They can be placed anywhere and go with anything. When you are old, you will still love your flower.
So, now you think, look, search, (if you really want one). Or wait,.. there is no hurry.
Here is a good source site:http://tattoo.about.com/
Here are a few tattoo worthy flowers:

Make sure that you find a well established, experienced, licensed artist, and that way you won't be looking for a cover up tattoo, or laser removal within 5 years.
Good luck with your decision.

What do gun tattoos represent when on girls abdomen?

Meowllo

Ex: http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=mog&hl=en&gl=us&client=safari&tab=wi&q=gun%20tattoo%20on%20women&sa=N&biw=320&bih=416#i=5

Answer
The link doesn't work - just takes me to the google homepage.

It doesn't really mean anything - just that it's what the girl wanted done, and where she wanted it done. Not all people put a large amount of thought and sentiment into their tattoos, and that will be their burden later in life.
But it's also not anyone's place to speculate what an individual's tattoo means. If they wanted the world to know, they would make it known. I don't tell everyone what my tattoos mean, because a lot of them are deeply personal and carry painful memories. That said, I'm not an idiot who gets guns on my abdomen. I get custom designs - drawn either by myself, my husband, or my tattoo artist - and each little detail, and the placement of the tattoo tie into the sybolism of it.

Reasonable tattoo ideas?

Collin

Hey I am going to be turning 18 soon, and am fairly muscled. Some friends of mine (boys and girls) said that I would look good in a tattoo. I was wondering if anyone new some good traditional designs, or half sleeve designs (I think that's what they are called. It's where there is a sleeve tattoo only on your upper arm.) I don't want any of those stupid forehead tattoos. Upper-back and arm tattoos are mostly what I am looking for. At one point I thought subdermal implants would bee cool like a very small star on my wrist, until I looked up on YouTube how they do them haha. Tattoos that would fit me are intense ones, ones that have music (guitar), or artistic and complex designs, even traditional designs. I also have one last question. I have been doing a lot of research and watching many tattooing videos, and noticed that there is substantial bleeding when the tattoo artist uss his first tool. I am not worried about pain, just curious if there are two items a tattoo artist uses. Lastly do tattoo artists generally let you go in and inspect where they will work their art in advance, as well as their portfolio? I really don't want to end up with a turd on my arm...

Thank you so much
I would also like a pain level on area from 1-10 like I heard that your sides and side/middle abdominal hurt. I heard it hurts even more when you have visible abdomens.

Answer
Ah, the 'I just turned 18!' tat. I've got one myself and, granted, what I'm about to tell you will sound kind of hypocritical, but whatever you choose to get, START SMALL. A week after my 18th birthday I trotted down to my local tattoo shop and got a HUGE chest piece done. Set me back over $500 (come to find out, the place is a rip, however, their work is VERY good) Now that I'm a bit older and would like like more tats, the only thing I regret about what I have (stars swirled in the electro-magnetic spectrum across my chest) is the placement and how big it is. Now, when I consider adding to it, my new artist (actually, a friend of mine who just happens to tattoo) and I have to compromise.

That being said, do whatever feels right.
1. When checking out an artist or shop, have a look at the artist's portfolio and if you're not feeling *super* unique, check out the flash wall. No shame in that and a lot of reputable shops will actually customize the flash art to your liking. Obviously, you're going to check out how clean the place is and how reasonable their prices are, right? Of course. I just got a large puzzle piece, fully colored, across my whole foot for $60. Take that as a reference. The more detail and colors used, the more the tattoo will cost. No shame in comparing shops and artists either. Be patient and find what works for you.

2. Placement- Chest? Walk in the park for me. A lot of people would agree. IF IT IS CLOSE TO THE HEART, THE HEALING PROCESS TENDS TO BE EASIER AND LESS PAINFUL. However, the FURTHER AWAY from the heart, the more intense the pain (especially afterward, if you're a 'bigger' person) during and after, due to circulation. These places (like my foot) have a tendency to heal slower and be prone to infection. FEET, SIDES, UNDERARMS (bicep or forearm, underneath it) ARE TENDER. These areas, to most people HURT. My chest TICKLED compared to my foot.

3. So if you're looking for the 'No pain' zones, try to get something on your bicep or any muscle-y area. For your first tattoo, avoid doing large pieces (think things out a bit, if you want sleeves, you don't want a gigantic piece on your bicep that's going to mess up your sleeve later.) AND, BUY A BOTTLE OF BACTINE (OR STOREBRAND.) Should have Lidocaine in it. Some shops carry it and will either charge you for it or only spray you once if you're hurting. No shame in pain. If you're squirming, that just makes things hard on them, so it's best to bring your own. Spray the area down every 20 mins or so. This won't mess anything up, and I admittedly did it for my foot.

4. As for designs, other than what I said about flash art and checking portfolios, if you find an ACTUAL TATTOO ARTIST (and honestly, you don't want someone who just stencils), they can draw out anything you can dream up. Think of things you know you will never change you mind about. Stars, in my case, are never going to be something I'm going to regret in the future. They're damn stars. Hah. And YES, IF THEY DON'T LET YOU CALL OR COME IN TO INSPECT, DON'T GO THERE. No shop should have anything to hide.

Good luck! I hope to see some awesome work in the future on you and if you have any other tattoo questions, feel free to message me.

Tattoo ideas, please?

Q. I just recently had my first child on 11/11/10 at 11:11 a.m.

I would really like to get a tattoo and incorporate "11:11" in it.

Mainly because I hope, wished, and prayed for him to come
and he was 5 days late. And there is that whole craze over

"11:11 I wished for you" (teenage girls wishing for boys, usually.)

But this meaning is something totally different. I just don't
know what to put with the 11:11. Any ideas?

Answer
i would suggest getting a replica of your babys hand or foot prints on your chest with the babys name and 11:11 above and below it. this would incorporate what you wanted and also symbolize that your baby is close to your heart.
hope this helps :)

Answer
Tattoo like that shouldn't take more than an hour, and really shouldn't cost more than $50. But all shops are different. Some advice, I've gone into shops before with a clear idea of exactly what I want. Good artists who want to show off might ask if they can play around with the idea a little and make the tattoo something unique that showcases their artwork. Just be receptive to that, they can come up with some really cool stuff you might enjoy. Otherwise, can't really think of anything else. Good luck with your new tattoo!

Tattooing over pregnancy stretch marks?

Andressa

I am 21 years old and I had a baby boy in January. I became verrrrrrry swollen while I was pregnant and therefore I have stretch marks on my hips and thighs. I plan on having a lot of tattoos. I already have 3. I have a cherry blossom branch on my side that was destroyed :/ Considering the fact that my stretch marks are moderate, I have a lot of them, and they are fairly fresh... would tattooing over them make the tattoo look bad or does it turn out alright? I would appreciate responses from only experienced artists or women who have already tattooed over thier own marks. Thanks!
I think I should let them heal as well... I'm so impatient :/ lol how long should I wait?
I think I should let them heal as well... I'm so impatient :/ lol how long should I wait?

Answer
Congratulations on becoming a mother!!! I hope you're enjoying it. And good on you for wanting tattoos. I'm a mother too, and I'm at 24 tattoos - mostly big ones. I'm pretty covered. Haha. Be warned that other more conservative mothers will look down at you, but, you can be content in knowing that your child will learn about diversity, and being accepting of people for their differences and what makes them unique. My son is five, and he LOVES tattoos, and people with them. He knows that not all of us are deadbeats. :)

Anyway, to answer the question. A good tattoo artist won't tattoo over strechmarks untill they have healed. If you regularly use cocoa butter or shea butter based creams on your tummy, this will help them heal and fade quicker. Tattooing over stretch marks while they are still in the purple/pink stages would result in tearing and problems healing... But if you wait until they are almost the same tone as the rest of the skin on your tummy, you will be fine. It might hurt a little more than the un-stretched skin (mine did), but once healed it will turn out just as well as any other tattoo.

can tattoo cover up stretch marks?

xtroverted

can tattoo cover up stretch marks?

Answer
Well yes and no. A tatoo may hide the stretch marks, but like someone else said, the ink may come out a slightly different shade on the stretch marks than the rest of your skin. However, a good tatoo artist may be able to take this into consideration and create for you a custom design that would "go with the flow" of your stretch marks so it is not so obvious if the colors do come out different.(off the top of my head I am thinking vines, flowers, tribal designs, waves, etc, things of that nature). A good artist will appreciate and even enjoy the challenge of hiding them for you.

However, keep in mind, that if you have another baby someday the tatoo is likely to get stretched out again, and will not be the same afterwards.

Dont let anyone tell you whether or not you should get a tatoo. That decision should be yours and yours alone, not anyone elses. And dont worry what they will look like when you are old. Tatoos are a map, a story line to mark milestones in our lives. When you are old you wont care what they look like, and you will be able to say "I got this one when I was (fill in the age you are now here) because I wanted to hide my stretch marks! Ha ha!" and the young women you show it too will look at you and think "WOW that old lady is SO COOL!" Seriously, that is what I think whenever I encounter old people who have tattoos.

If you really want to get one, think long and hard before committing to it. Make sure it is a design you will never get tired of. My dad taught me to never get a tattoo anyone's elses name (the only exception would be children's names) and never get something just because it its "trendy". Pick something that is special and unique to only YOU.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

Tattoo Ideas?

A Swift Or

I am a girl in my late teens and really want a tattoo. Nothing big, nothing tacky, something inconspicuous. The only thing is I don't know what to get, and am not sure where to get it. Please, no answers like "tattoos are so stupid!" or "don't you know the risk of tattoos?". C'mon people, I'm an adult now, I've considered the risks, and I've thought about this for awhile. Genuine answers only please.

Answer
As a heavily tattooed person; my best advice is since you have thought about getting a tattoo you must have thought about what kind of tattoo. Take your ideas to your artist (make sure you look at their portfolio and talk with other people about where they got their tattoos), after picking an artist, tell them your idea and let them creat the artwork.

Urgently Required: Unique Fringe Activities For Carnival?

Target Grp:
Adult Sportsman/woman who have just completed the competition and a small no. of supporters
Remark:
Trying to find some activities that could occupy the supporters after the race start and the activities must also engage the runners after they complete their race.

Have thought of games stalls but would like it to be totally different from other carnivals. Please help. Am running out of ideas.

Answer
Here are some ideas: Get some people to set up a face-painting or temporary tattoo stall. That way, some supporters can even show their support by painting the names of the runners on their faces! (Kinda like football). Or have a cookout! Like get some people to set up stalls to give out samples to eat... Even painting a community mural would be nice, where one person pays 1 buck and gets to paint a small section of the mural. You can even modify this idea to set up a site where people dab their hands in paint and leave coloured handprints with their signature.

What design and color Koi tattoo would be most masculine?

Jackson

i have a small blue lotus flower on my right shoulder thatI'd like to cover with Koi. The lotus is rather plan and kind of feminine and didn't turn out like i expected. I'm not looking to get a sleeve either

Answer
Suggest the head of the koi overlay the small blue lotus flower tattoo which you already have so the design faces forward toward your chest, the body curving into a half moon shape. How the eye of the koi is designed will 'toughen' the tattoo image. Also, the long and curling lip barbels on so many koi tattoo designs are an exaggeration which often gives the image a fierce dragon like appearance.

Both men and women have koi tattoo designs done in the natural colorations of gold, tomato red, or orange. The same is true for the all black koi designs. The addition of flowers, leaves, water, and waves can make the design more masculine or feminine. The koi type called Utsuri have a unique coloration which would look good for a tattoo; base color is white, gold, or orange with black markings.

http://www.lagunakoi.com/images/starskoi/normal/k200233.jpg
http://www.clarkekoi.com/monthly-pond-pics-2010/december-shiro-utsuri.jpg

These tattoo designs incorporate other imagery around the koi. Suggest ignoring all the flowers and stylised background patterns, and just focus on the koi body.

Tattoo placement for woman?

Star is a

My first is on my foot. I'm not sure where I would want my second to be. The most important thing is that I need it to be easily covered when wearing office attire. I would like to be able to see it without looking in a mirror, but I might be okay with it on my back/shoulder... I'm not entirely sure.

I'm still trying get the general idea of the tattoo I want- nothing is set in stone yet and I'll be considering exactly what I want and where I want it for probably a year before I actually get it done. I'm looking into designs including The Princess Bride and I like the idea of a buttercup and a black mask or a buttercup and a sword, possibly with "as you wish" added in.
Naomi... in what world is a wrist tattoo easily covered in office attire? You should read the entire question before you answer.
Ok, next time I'll specify that I have no desire to have my arms covered down to my hands every day at work for the rest of my life. Sorry if that can't be considered common sense that a female might actually want to wear 3/4 length sleeves or shorter.
Ashley-
I didn't ask advice on how to change my entire wardrobe so I could get a wrist tattoo. I'm glad yours works for you, but I'm not a jewelry person at all and I'm not willing to buy jewelry just to cover up a tattoo, nor am I willing to always wear a garment to cover all the way down to my hands.

Answer
Hey now, I have wrist tattoos and I work in an office. Today they are covered up with a blazer because it's cold out. Yesterday they were covered up in some awesome bangles that I got loads of compliments on. When the weather gets even colder, they will be covered up in various office appropriate sweaters. It's NOT that difficult to cover up a wrist tattoo.

That said, other places to get it include literally anywhere on your torso, or anywhere on your legs above your knees.

THAT is a weird question. i knew a girl in junior high (12 or 13) who's (whose?) dad was a tattoo artist and she had a tattoo on her leg of a rose vine from foot to knee and a another smaller one on her neck. i don't **THINK** it's illegal or child abuse.. after all with a parents permission a 15 year old can get a tattoo or piercing, several people in my high school had them. so where is that line drawn? and what tattoo artist in their right mind would do so? the ethics of the matter would hold any reputable tattoo artist back.

Pop star Tiffany released a good Blues/ Country album in 2011 ? Would you rate these songs?

Cajun Hill

1 - Love You Good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybD523RG9M

2 - Feel The music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv4W6Qsa2Og

3 - Crazy Girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qJAkJCawbk

The album is called "Rose Tattoo"

Answer
Holy cow You're back?

Red hair, A lot like country/ pop/ rock, but the first is the best in my opinion.

Not many can pull off Blues well any more, and while Country is my fave genre it gets to be same old same.

Just my opinion CH, but Janis was one of the best at Blues in her own way, she had good reasons, and certainly there were dozens of others.

I think Tiffany, if she discovered her roots, should stay with them. Pop may be popular, but gets tedious in the 3 minutes it takes to hear the same lyrics repeated too often.

guys opinion on tattoos on girls please! :)?

Q. ok...
which one is more sexy/cute ish...
lower back
rib area (below boob)
front pelvic (on hip bone that sticks out)
http://offbeatink.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hip-tattoo.jpg
check this one out, i like it.

Answer
sorry, tattoos on girls are not cute or sexy. They are trashy. Guys assume that girls with tattoos are trashy too. I suggest you do not get a tattoo. A tattoo is little better than a cartoonâyou canât get a good quality drawing on the human skin. It will deface your body like ugly graffiti defaces a public building. There is a big cost to getting a tattoo, and it is far more than wasted money. The true cost of a tattoo is a lifetime of regret. Most regret it within 5 years. There is an 80% chance you will regret it in your lifetime. The regret starts after you start to notice how people react to you. Some will look at you with disgust, for tattoos are offensive to many, many people. There are serious practical reasons not to get tattooed. Your chances of getting a good job will be greatly diminishedâmost companies will not hire you since your tattoo will be seen as offensive to other workers. The majority of people get tattooed when young and their decision making process is not yet matured. Youth tends to be impulsive. Young people are still developing and they need to be very careful in making important, permanent decisions. The reasons young people get tattooed are not mature (i.e. they want people to notice them, they want to pretentiously âhonorâ someone in a way that will attract notice, they want to pretentiously present some âdeepâ quotation on their skin in the hope that people will think they too are âdeepâ, they are rebelling against their parents or society, they are conforming to what they think are social norms, they are unable to see ahead and view the negative results of their actions, etc.) In a large sense, nothing illustrates the degeneration of western culture more than the entertainment industry encouraging impulsive youth to permanently disfigure themselves in order to âexpress themselvesâ. But such is the power of suggestion that more and more young people are buying into this Hollywood lie that tattoos are a cutting edge way to âexpressâ yourself. But that is so not true. You should express yourself with your words and actions, not by inking graffiti onto your living flesh. The message you will actually convey with a tattoo is âI am foolishâ, âI make bad decisionsâ, âI have no sense of right and wrong,â âI follow any fad at any costâ and âI am unemployableâ. If you want to see the true level of cultural development for tattoos and other body modifications, look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwOXCmjTsvs I am telling you this because I care about you and I want to help you. Good luck to you in your life. But do not get tattooed. Tattoos are permanent. You can not take them back.

GUYS: Do you like hip tattoos on girls?

A

Answer
Like anything else in the art world, it depends on how good the art is, and the condition of the canvas. Good skin art on a pretty girl looks good. And, if she stays in shape, and gets touch-up sittings done every seven years or so, it'll stay looking good for a long time. Tattoos, like any other body modification, are designed to enhance what is already there. If you want your ink to look good for years to come, keep both the ink and your body in good condition, and it will. I know some older people with really good skin art, that maintain it well, and it looks good. Most people with ink are rather outgoing in the first place, so they're more spirited about life in general. That's the main difference between people who pull it off well, and those who do not. An introvert with a mousy attitude will overshadow any ink he or she may have acquired. This is true of tattooed people in general. Sorry for getting a little long winded, but it's not a yes or no answer. Take care.

guys- do you like tattoos on girls?

Paul T

I think some are cool but I hate the un-original tramp stamps on the back.

I like a girl that dosent have any tattoos better though

Answer
Tattoos are to remember something, to be a tribute or a passion. I don't care who has them, I think if you like something enough to get a tattoo of it then its cool. As long as you don't regret them all is well whether on a guy or girl. My girlfriend and I are going Monday to get tattoos and I have no objection. I am getting this.

Do you think tattoos on girls are sexy or do they look butch?

Aniela S

i have three tattoos and i want more...my aunt thinks that guys hate them on women and think that they make women look stronger and manlier and she thinks guys dont like that now a days...that is why i am asking the question i would like to know what you think??? do you think tattoos on girls are sexy or do you think they make them look butch??

Answer
Some tattoos (small, cute ones) can look cute on a girl. Some larger tasteful ones can still look nice.

I don't think they make a girl look "butch." To most they probably make a girl look "used," hence the reason some of the answers above are saying she looks slutty.

To me, though, they make her look like she's still wearing something. Kinda like if a girl climbed into bed with you still wearing a hat - sure, it might be a nice hat, but it's still a distraction. I want to see HER, and to me she needs no decorations :)

arm tattoos on women?

Sal

A friend of mine wants to get an armband, tribal, a chain on her upper arm. It has to be high up because she doesn't want it seen when she's at work. What do you think of that kind of tat on a woman.

Answer
If she has to I'd say keep it small. When it gets too big it gets quite ugly. Nothing worse than a woman with a sleave tat.

Question for women with upper arm tattoos / sleeves...?

Inked Mama

... do you tend to pick tops based on whether it matches the tattoo(s) or not, or do you just wear whatever like you did before?

I've had tattoos on both upper arms for a little while but last week got quite a big one which, along with the other two on that upper arm, fills up the majority of it. Now I've had that done I suddenly find myself thinking "Oh that top looks rubbish now" and more restricted in what I wear! I never thought I would pay much attention because as far as I'm concerned it's just a part of my skin and you don't pick clothes to match your freckles or birthmarks do you! Maybe it's just because it's so new that I'm very aware of it, I don't know. They're all black and grey though so I don't have the colour issue, but for just styles and patterns clashing. Did any of you feel this when you first had large work done on your upper arms or were you normal about it from the start?


Oh and the usual disclaimer... this is not an opportunity to spread your negative opinions about tattoos, tattoos on arms, tattoos on women, whatever. Either answer the question or take your ignorance elsewhere!
Haha chest pieces would also come under this!! It's weird though, when I see a chest piece or arm tattoo or whatever on another woman I never think 'Hey that clashes with your top!', it always seems to work! I think I'm just too paranoid when it comes to my own image ha!

Answer
Hey Mama! I have two full sleeves, and both are very different, so I wouldn't be able to match my tops with my tattoos. My left arm has a lot of reds, oranges, blues, and yellows. My right arm is mostly green, yellow and brown, so it's too difficult to match!

tattoo of his name..?

mommy to a

how do i ask my hubby what is a place he like on a woman to get tattoos without giving it away that im getting one of his name or anything.. i know you say never get it but i will make it small if one day we decide nothing works i can cover it up but i always can leave it to because it could be my memorie of him get what i mean... and later on im getting one of our sons name

Answer
Personally I sort of like tattoos on the pubic mound in script. That way it is private and unless you are shaved no one knows it is there except him. Other than small or hidden, I am not a fan of female tattoos at all. Only problem is that the area is sensitive so it will not very comfortable getting it applied.

I'm kind of embarrased to ask...?

Netti

Is it normal for girls/women to shave their pubic area or does it not really matter?

Answer
This is a topic people get in ridiculous fights over. Women who do shave call women who don't gross, women who don't call women who do wh*res. Men always have a way they like it, and a lot of times its whatever way yours is not.

I shave....everything. I swam for many years and lycra suits pull hairs, it hurts. Shaving can be uncomfortable for some, especially if you have very coarse hair or sensitive skin or both. Waxing hurts, but makes for a very smooth result, however you have to let the hair grow in between treatments and I don't like doing this so I shave as I can keep it up daily.

Hair does hold on to bacteria, so it can cause smell faster. However I do not think it is uncouth or nasty to have hair if it is trimmed an the whole area is kept CLEAN so that the bacteria are kept at bay. Excessive hair can also hold on to ....well I won't go into gruesome details, but we all use the bathroom if you know what I mean.

I do think it is uncouth, personally, to have hair that peeks out of the bikini or swimsuit, that's just gross to look at. If you don't want to trim even, fine, but wear swim shorts that are a dark color.

There are different things you can do and it can be kinda fun for the DH. If you don't shave, why not try it to see if you like it? Hair grows back fairly quickly if you decide you don't. You can shave the sides an leave the bush, you can shave completely bald, you can do a racing stripe, landing strip, hitler mustache, etc. I even knew a girl who dyed hers! People shave hearts, stars, words, I even saw a girl who had a tattoo of a stick figure mowing her "grass" and had her hair shaved where it looked like the tattoo stick guy was removing her hair.

More women shave down there now than they did in the past, I think lead by magazines like playboy and also a general heightened acceptance of sexuality and the body.

If you think its cleaner or easier to stay cleaner, more couth for your swimwear, looks nicer of is more comfortable to shave or trim up, do it! If you don't like it, have hair. Some guys are grossed out by hair, but if it really matters a lot to them, they are usually shallow and worthless anyway. I think it mainly is only important to stay very clean and healthy down there.

If I had to guess, I think most younger girls are some kind of shaved, and I think most older women do not bother with it, but its up to you and what YOU like.

If you want to shave, use a new razor on this area (I have a seperate razor just for this area) and use a moisturizing shave gel for sensitive skin. Soak in warm water for a while before shaving to soothe the skin an relax the hair follicles and be careful when you shave. After you are done shaving rinse off, dry area and apply lotion. Give it a try if you don't already, you might not go back.

Tattoo Artist or Experienced Tattoo-ees Help Please?

Hi

I want to get a small tattoo on my foot, but I have a few questions about it.-I already asked this and got amazing answers I just want a few more opinions! And I edited #8! My main main concerns are #1 and #8!

1. I have heard foot tattoos can smudge-is this true and how much?
2. What are the chances of the tattoo getting smudged or anything?-is this during the healing process or forever?
3. How long is the healing process?
4. How long will the tattoo take to do-it will be like 1 in wide and 3 in long
5. Does it hurt-alot?
6. Do you recommend it on the foot why or why not?
7. I have heard you can't wear shoes or socks during the healing process-is this true? What happens if you do?
8. Will I scar from the tattoo needle? I have very sensitive skin and scar from everything-like a tiny bit raised white scars. Will this distort my tattoo in anyway? Any other advice/stories/opinions on this is greatly appreciated! This is my main concern.
9. Will it need to be touched up in the future-how often?
10. Will it fade at all and how much?
11. Any other tattoo advice would be greatly appreciated!!! This will be my first tattoo and I plan on getting it around next September or possibly early summer now as I have been told that wearing socks+shoes is very bad.
12. How do you find a good tattoo shop?? I can't decide where is the best place! And do you just walk in or plan this like months in advance?

These pictures are about where I want my tattoo (just in case you need to know), but these are not the ones I want. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! :)

Answer
Okay so:
1. No it won't smudge unless you get tiny, thin writing but that will happen anywhere on your body..
2. None unless the tattoo is too close together - the ink naturally expands in your skin but not much
3. 7-10 days, sometimes a little longer with places that don't "shed" skin as much
4. Roughly 1/2 hour
5. No it doesn't hurt that bad. All tattoos hurt, but my foot was one of the least painful.
6. Yes, because you can hide it if you like, or show it if you like.
7. During the first few days while it's still sore and expelling the excess ink - I wouldn't. Just let it "air" out.
8. No, it won't "scar" it might cause your skin to be a bit puffier after you first get it, but all swelling goes down after a few days.
9. Yes, all tattoos should get touched up every so often, depends on how much you are in the sun, etc, and how much it fades. I've had some for over 5 yrs that still haven't needed touching up.
10. Depends on sun exposure, etc..
11. Basically just relax, stay calm.
12. Just walk in, look at the "art work" they have available, ask to see picture's they've done themselves, etc.

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.

Rib tattoo VS wrist tattoo pain?

Annette

I had my first tattoo last December on both my wrists. It was "Don't dive shallow" on my left and "in deep dark waters" on my right. A lot of people said tattoos on the wrists are painful but I didn't think mine hurt.

How much more painful would a tattoo on my right ribs be? I obviously want it bigger and has more colour and shading. I want another quote that says "Sadness is nothing more than the cost of being able to smile once in a while"

Answer
i personally havnt gotten a tattoo on my ribs, but my friend got a pretty big tattoo on her ribs that siad love is god, god is love around the sign for love, and then about a month later she got another one on her other side of her ribs that says let your faith be bigger than your fear, and she isnt like super tought girl either, so it ust not be that bad and if you can stand 2 wrist tattoos it should be fine (: Good Luck!

Guys: opinion on a small rib tattoo on a girl?

anonymous/

Okay so I'm 18, 5'1" and about 94 lbs so I'm pretty small and don't look very old. For a while I've been considering a small tattoo on my ribs, kind of close to under my breast but more on the side on the ribs. It will just be one straight line and it will say תת×××¨× ×¢× ×¢×¦××× which means "rise above yourself" in Hebrew. I want this quote because I've had a lot of body issues in the past and am very easily influenced by people, so I like that it would be there as a constant reminder to myself to be stronger than my negative emotions.
Anyways, would this be attractive to you or no? I'm still going to get it if I really want to because it's my body and I'm gonna do what I want, but I would like your opinions! Turn on, turn off? Any other opinions? Thanks guys!

Answer
"it will say תת×××¨× ×¢× ×¢×¦××× which means "rise above yourself" in Hebrew." - DON'T. It's NOT what it means. Don't trust things people tell you over the Internet, especially if the consequences are for the most part permanent. What you wrote means "get over yourselves" (plural) and NOT "rise above yourself." So although their meanings are somewhat permanent, in Hebrew it is something that is not always in the nicest context. Very similar to "pull yourself together." I would really suggest that you find an alternative. Maybe something that is more easily translatable to Hebrew.

As for the tattoo itself, I think you're a bit young now. You may like it for a while, but you will come to regret it eventually. Attractiveness-wise, it would really depend on the final look. A single line below your breast area to me would seem like a serious turnoff.

Question about girls' tattoos?

ILuvTaraRe

I always wondered why girls put them on their lower back? I never understood why..the wearer can't even see it unless tehy look in a mirror! Is it just because it's a fad? Also, a lot of women get a tattoo on their bikini line to the side of their stomach? Why there? Anyone can answer but women who sport tattoos in these places I'm really interested in what you have to say.

Answer
I just found out the lower back tattoos are called 'tramp stamps'.

When you see a tattoo on a girls lower back, what do you think ?

millionair

I'm wanting to get a phrase tattooed, and was going to get it across my stomach but don't want to deal with the whole "If I get pregnant my tattoo could get distorted" thing. My friend suggested that I just do it on my lower back, but I'm afraid everyone will just think I'm a whore :/ I don't wear low jeans & short tops, I dress appropriately.

SO, if you saw a girl that dressed modestly, but saw she had a tattoo on her lower back (by like seeing her in a bathing suit or something idk), would you think she's a "tramp" ?

Answer
I think the "answer" to your question is going to be 50/50 and all 100% opinion. Everyone feels differently about things like this but its up to you to decide which opinions actually matter to you. Remember a few things - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, you know that you are not a trashy/slutty girl and you have the right to express yourself freely through art in the form of a tattoo anywhere on your body that you choose. You shouldnt have to worry about what someone else thinks. If it is going to make you self concious, don't do it. Tattoos are permanent and the last thing you want to regret. I obviously do not think a lower back tattoo categorizes a person... most of the standard opinion stems from the kind of person/the way a girl carries herself. You seem like a level headed girl, just think it through..... and through.

Tattoo cover up question help please?

Love all h

I have a outline of a dragon head that I want covered up with a bigger dragon head (it will be black also), its measurements are about 12cm height and 6cm across. It's quite a small head with thin lines no shading. I got the small head tattoo when I was 16, I'm 18 now and didn't think about how small the head of the dragon was before but now I want a bigger one. The drawing measurements are about 14cm height and 15cm across, the skull of this drawing will cover most of the small head tattoo and than background can cover the rest. I provided pictures what do you think? Thank you.

Answer
I really like the placement of that tattoo. It's like it's protecting you.

So about covering it with a bigger dragon. Like the person before said, the new one would have to be colored in. A good tattoo artist can cover up anything. It's finding one good enough that is the problem. It may have to be heavily shaded with black or colored in with some really cool, bright dragon colors and shading. The artist could even add a shadow under the dragon to give it a realistic 3d effect, making the dragon look like it is actually perched there on your shoulder. Here are some links that may give you some more ideas for possible coloring and shading. Good luck and awesome tattoo!

If I want to get a tattoo how to I draw out the design?

Q. I want one kind of like my avatar picture but it has major differences,how could I make one online?
Also above It I want it to say God bless then to the left of the deer's nose I want it to look like its 3d saying out then on the right I want it to say laws in the same way,then under the deer I want it to say like me,would a decent artist be able to do this?

Answer
Sketch it out yourself, just so that the tattoo artist can get an idea of what you want...
Most tattoo artists will re-draw what you want to make sure it's exactly right.
Just go in and talk to the guy/girl who's going to do that tattoo.
Yes, they can do just about anything!

Need some tattoo suggestions?

Q. Ive been thinking about getting a tattoo, particularly an octopus (theres reason behind it, but i wont get into that), but i wasnt sure where to get it, how big to get it.. etc.

Im 19, female, and i usually dress pretty girly, i wear alot of skirts and tank tops.. i just wanted to get it in a spot that wont look trashy or overly masculine. I dont really want a cute looking octopus, i wanted a more gnarly one like this:

Answer
I think the location of these women's large octopus pieces look really nice and feminine:

My favorite placement of these is the last one. I also think that if arranged properly, it would look pretty classy in this kind of location/arrangement:

Good luck making a decision!

Do people find women with lots of tattoos to be unfeminine?

tasha w

I don't have any, and I'm not talking about the woman who has one or two, I mean like a sleeve or just multitudes of them all over. Tattoos in general are not the exotic body art that they were years ago -- many many people from all stages and phases of life have them. They are socially acceptable for the most part (i.e. you will no longer be denied a job - for the most part- based on the fact you have ink).

Even given all this, though, are they still considered more of a male thing?
Awww jeez KIA don't be a butterfly hunter...now I have to re-evaluate my feelings for you....lol...
Personally, I think either no ink or just one or two on a guy is hot. I don't want to be with someone with facial tattoos or a full back of them, but some of them can be really amazing looking. If it's done right, even sleeves don't have to be overwhelming.
Ultimately tho, it wouldn't be a deal breaker

Answer
I like artistic, feminine tattoos on other women, even when they have a sleeve or when they have their whole chest/shoulder area tattooed, if the tattoos are very well done. I like bright colors, feathers, birds, flowers, cherry blossoms, that kind of thing. I think tattoos can look cute on young women, but they don't look so great when women age, and the tattoo gets dull, fades, and most of all, just looks worn out and trashy. I don't understand women who get tattoos around their stomach area... if they get pregnant the tattoo is going to stretch and become distorted, they could get stretch marks on the tattoo, etc. People don't really think about the long term when they get tattoos. Tattoos are permanent, but they have a short shelf life in that sense. I like the way tattoos look (artistic, well done ones) but I don't like the idea of them being permanent.

I don't think faded, dull, worn out tattoos look good on older men either, but a man can age decently while having a full sleeve or a dozen tattoos on his body, some men can pull it off. I don't think the same is true for women, people expect women's bodies to be smooth and feminine, the tattoos become coarse looking after a while.

I was just looking at a tattoo blog earlier today, in fact! Here are some tattoos I like:

GIRLS: Do You Think Tattoos Are Attractive?

Mike

I FIRETRUCKIN HATE MY SKIN SOO MUCH. I was never fat, not even chubby. NEVER. But since I started lifting weights, my arms got more muscular from their normally paper skinny form and my biceps got white stretch marks all over them:(((. It's something I'm really insecure about and I've tried creams that faded them but they're still visible. Laser stretch mark removal costs like $2000 and isn't guaranteed to completely get rid of them, on the other hand you could get a full sleeve tattoo for less and cover them up for good. I've always wanted a full sleeve since I was younger so I'm thinking about going with that option.

I'm 18 so what do teenage girls think about full sleeve tattoos? Not something menacing, but something playful and artistic like the one's Pete Wentz has:

http://gallery.ashlee-star.com/albums/photoshoots/lancestaedler/normal_01.jpg

Answer
I find tattoos ohhh so attractive. <3
As long as they aren't "menacing" like you said.
Playful and artistic tattoos and you're golden.

Does anyone have pictures of girls stomach tattoos?

strawberry

I'm looking for HOT tattoos because I want to get one on my stomach to cover up my stretch marks.

Answer
depends what you class as hot.
if you get a tattoo it should be of something special to you. go to the tattoo artist,show him/her the stretch marks as some artist wont cover stretch marks, if you find someone who will do it make sure there not just doing it for the money,get someone who knows there stuff,it can be hard covering stretch marks!
then put your ideas to them, they will do you a hot original design

Question for all the people with tattoos.... ?

Live, Love

Don't you find it rather annoying when people go on and on about how "tattoos are permanent" and "they are going to fade and distort", and that they are "ugly to look at it/ it should be illegal"? I swear sometimes I want to crawl through the screen and slap them.

So my question to you is... Doesn't that bother you? Also, how many tattoos do you have and where? What age did you get your first one?

I was 17 when I got my first one. I have a flamingo/palm tree in my right ankle and a large cross w a trinity symbol/wings that covers the top part of my back (between my shoulder). :)

Answer
Well, no it doesn't bother me if the information is correct and true.
1) tattoos are permanent = true - meaning that much thought should go into the images and/or words, and that what you find appealing at 15, you probably will not want when you are 20 or 40 or 60 etc.
2) tattoos fade = true IF you do not take excellent care of them and use the highest SPF sunblock each and every time that you expose your tattoo to the elements, no matter what the weather, and all year round - and you should reapply often.
3) tattoos distort = true IF you get them when your body has not finished growing (under 18), and they distort if you get pregnant or gain a bunch of weight. Sometimes when you are young, your skin will pull back, but often belly tattoos on woman turn into a nightmare with age and pregnancies.
4) tattoos are 'ugly to look at and should be illegal' = false - this is totally opinion based and has no relevancy to anyone wanting a tattoo. It is no one's business what personal permanent decisions you make for your own reasons. Anyone pushing their fears through trying to stop someone from getting a tattoo, is out of line (unless it is a parent or guardian of an underage person). Otherwise, people should get off of their soapbox rants and live their own lives.

I have 5 tattoos, all custom, all personal and unique. I got my 1st tattoo on my 50th birthday.
I have no problems about my tattoos. No one gives me a hard time or treats me differently because of them. And mine are quite visible - one is a large wrist bracelet , and one is a large image on my forearm.

If you don't get defensive, and smile and honestly answer peoples questions, you will find that most people are just curious. Everyone knows someone with tattoos or has some themselves.

luck~

Answer
I totally agree with Hasley Q. You're ideas are beyond awesome... are stars significant to you? I think that a female with all those star tats would be amazing, almost like a mythological being. Totally awesome.
Anyway I'd say go for it, so long as you wouldn't mind having those tattoos when you're older, or going through significant life events such as a wedding. Also you might want to wait on the hip/lower back stars until you are out of your childbearing age. I mention that because that area has a tendency to deform you tattoos when you're pregnant. Also 50% of the children born last year in the United States were not planned for. (There parents were not trying to concieve. I throuw in this statistic because many women who don't plan to have kids do.) Just something to think about.

Which tattoo should I get!!!?

Allyssa

I know I want the tattoo to be right on the back of neck, that way it can be covered by hair. And also because I love the placement. I want it to be small, nothing too big. I either want a Dreamcatcher, bird, or Swahili symbol for Hakuna Matata.
These are the tattoos I had in mind:

The ddream-catcherin the picture is on the side of the rib, but i would make it smaller and have it on my neck.

Answer
Just remember what ever you get make sure that's the one you really want it will be on you for the rest of your life!! I usually get tats that mean somthing to me! I have the same exact quote that was on my grandfathers arm got it two days before he passed and one tat for my grandmother after she passed! Use the quote that means the most you will never regret it(;

I need some tattoo expert advice on this?

QueenFan12

So I am a HUGE fan of this book and wanted to get a quote from it. I saw this online and wanted to get it across my wrist, however I was adviced by people not to get it there because jobs might require for me to cover it up at all times. Anyways here it is:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5kgtd424x1qaql3co1_1280.jpg

-I wanted to have it put on my hip or side, but I'm afraid it might look kinda funky. -So, I need advice on where on my body (particularly my stomach area) to put it? (also, im a girl...im not sure of that matters or not lol)

-It will be my first ever tattoo, so I'm a little nervous, how big should I get it? '

Thanks!! :]

Answer
That quote is too long to go on your wrist anyway, it wouldn't fit. In order to make it fit the font would have to be so small you wouldn't be able to tell what it actually says. You could pull off getting it above your ankle or on your hip. I would recommend the side of your body though to make it look it's best size wise. But since it is your first tattoo I will chime in and say your side and hip both hurt because it's on both bone and fat, above the ankle was easily the least painful, barely felt tattoo I have.

Opinion on girls with tattoos...?

phoenix569

I've been thinking about eventually getting another tattoo, not for a while due to my last tattoo (I got the biggest piece I ever wanted done, so I'm pretty satisfied for the time being.) Anyway, my boyfriend of 2 years isn't crazy about them. I didn't get my 2 tattoos done without his approval, so it's not like he's mad or anything. I'm just curious as to what a lot of other guys/people think about them. There are certain tattoos I would LOVE to get, such as behind the ear or my wrist but then the side of me with morals kicks in. Some reason it bothers me to think of having a tattoo on my left wrist, the same hand I will wear my wedding ring but I've always felt like the right was a bad idea because that'll be the first thing someone sees if you shake their hand. I also think a lot about tattoos that would make it almost inevitable to cover up when I eventually get married. Don't get me wrong, I love my tattoos. But out of respect for my family, I would rather them be covered not by makeup but just a dress that covers them. Anyway, any opinions on all of this? Thanks!
Ok HI, I wasn't asking for people to tell me they are trashy. I'll reiterate, open minded opinions. Also, the family isn't very religious in that sense, and they are ok with my tattoos. It's just not something that they would want out in the open on my wedding day, mainly because it's big enough to be a distraction. My other tattoo is on my foot, so that's not an issue. And this is the USA, didn't ask about women in Asia.

Answer
If you know enough to hide tattoos, then you already know you should not get any. And yet, you have them, and even want more. Something is wrong with this picture! Here is my opinion on girls with tattoos: I recommend to men that they stay away from a woman with any tattoo, anywhere. I could say the same thing to women about men with tattoos. Tattoos mean trouble. Tattoos are a huge "red flag" that means one or more of the following:
"I am a misfit"
"I will cause you big problems",
"Get to know me and you will regret it"
"I am immature",
"I am needy",
âI am foolishâ,
âI am shallowâ
âI make bad decisionsâ,
âI have no sense of right and wrong,â
âI follow fadsâ,
âI am unemployableâ,
"I have been to prison",
"I belong to a criminal gang",
"I am promiscuous",
"I work in the sex-services industry",
"I can not sustain a long term relationship".
âI will fail in my lifeâ
A tattoo is little better than a cartoonâyou canât get a good quality drawing on the human skin. It will deface your body like ugly graffiti defaces a public building. I strongly suggest that you do not get a tattoo. There is a big cost to getting a tattoo, and it is far more than wasted money. The true cost of a tattoo is a lifetime of regret. Most regret it within 5 years. There is an 80% chance you will regret it in your lifetime. The regret starts after you start to notice how people react to you. Many people will look at you with disgust, for tattoos are offensive to many, many people. Your chances of getting a good job will be greatly diminishedâmost companies will not hire you since your tattoo will be seen as offensive to other workers. The majority of western people get tattooed when young and their decision making process is not yet matured. Youth tends to be impulsive. Young people are still developing and they need to be very careful in making important, permanent decisions. The reasons young people get tattooed are not mature (i.e. they want people to notice them, they want to pretentiously âhonorâ someone in a way that will attract notice, they want to pretentiously present some âdeepâ quotation on their skin in the hope that people will think they too are âdeepâ, they are rebelling against their parents or society, they are conforming to what they think are social norms, they are unable to see ahead and view the negative results of their actions, etc.) If you want to see the true level of cultural development for tattoos and other body modifications, look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwOXCmjTsvs . In a large sense, nothing illustrates the degeneration of western culture more than the entertainment industry encouraging impulsive youth to permanently disfigure themselves in order to âexpress themselvesâ. But such is the power of suggestion that more and more young people are buying into this Hollywood lie that tattoos are a cutting edge way to âexpressâ yourself. But that is so not true. You should express yourself with your words and actions, not by inking graffiti onto your living flesh. Good luck to you in your life. But do not get tattooed. Tattoos are permanent. You can not take them back. There are so many questions on this board about how to remove unwanted tattoos. Pay attention to them. They are there for a reason: People do not want to keep their tattoos. One day you will wish you had never gotten your tattoo(s) and will start to ask how you can get rid of them. Be smart and do not put yourself in this position.
