i want a creative and unique tattoo, any ideas?

Q. i am an artist which means im a rather creative person.
i am into music but i already have a tattoo to do with that
i like small simple tattoos that are more of a symbol than a detailed picture.
so i kinda want something to symbolize art and my creative side

any suggestions on how i could work out a design?

Answer
Personally I have never seen a tatoo on a woman which was of a couple of tree branches with pretty birds sitting on them. I think this would be beautiful.

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?

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.

Why do so many Christians seem to shun the extreme?

side tattoos for women unique image

deepsoul20

I'm a Christian and so is my husband. We have piercings and tattoos. We also love going to metal shows. Something we have both experienced in the past is being shunned or turned away by other fellow Christians for being different. For example most Christians both men and women alike tend to be a little on the normal looking side. They wear preppy name brand clothes and listen to mostly contemporary music. I was a member of this Christian dating service before I met my husband. Most of the men didn't care for the fact that I liked hard music, had a few small tattoos and a couple of little piercings. I guess they were looking for a cookie cutter image of themselves. Another example is my husband's step mom told him that his type of music might scare a nice Christian girl away. I guess my point is, why do so many Christians seem to think that just because someone might look a little unique or listen and like things a little unique, they don't fit the typical mold of what a Christian is? I mean really, what does a Christian look like? And what's wrong with punk type hair, dressing a little funky and few body modifications?
And for those who say Christians shouldn't look that way. Many Christian rock and metal bands look extreme. What's the difference?

Answer
1. normally the more intellectual and open minded don't stay christians.
2. but yea, looks or style doesn't dictate your belief in superstition or your choice of a particular fantasy belief system...

How do Americans view Japanese?

jenniferar

Japanese view americans like celebs... I was wondering how it was on the other side.
thank you everyone you were all very inciteful and informative. and Bryan i am responding by saying i agree about the whole korea surpassing japan in the entertainmant category. i had lived in south korea for two years and love their music. they are working very hard to be at the top.

Answer
Japan has historically always been the cool asian place. They made all the good video games and anime was everywhere when I was a teenager. I'm 20 now, but Japan seems to have lost its prominence. Korea is kinda beating it right now, culturally. Japanese gaming hasn't really gone anywhere new, while western games are the trend here now. The new generation of anime kids are into K-Pop now. They're not listening to Ayu and Namie like I was, but they're SONEs and love SuJu.

But we see Japanese people like other East Asians: diligent workers but leaning toward robotic. The average American doesn't really distinguish between different countries in Asia. We'd just think you're Chinese if you don't clarify. We don't understand certain Japanese things like Love Hotels and Hosts and the complicated toilets and why everything is so kawaii, therefore we think you are weird. We also kinda think you all look the same, because the population is so homogenous. America has varieties in race, while Japan is at least 95% Japanese at any given time. Also we tend to think ya'll lack social skills due to the discipline that you have, that our culture doesn't hold as high.

The language sounds a lot nicer to our ears than Korean or Chinese. However, its still way too hard. We love kanji though, even if we can't read it. A lot of Americans have tattoos with them. Nicki Minaj has one and I doubt she knows what it says. American women are also surprised at how Japanese women age well.

Overall, Japan is thought of as interesting and unique and an American will think its one of the better countries to be from. If you do read this, I'd like a response.

What should i be for holloween?

Thank you!

Here are some unique and weird ideas to help you this Halloween season.



1. A Highway: Wear all black sweat suit, stick on white or yellow tape on your legs and chest to resemble lines in a road. Attach tiny cars and road signs onto your pants and shirt.

2. Nudist on Strike: Wear normal clothes and wear a sign around your neck that says âNudist on Strike.â

3. Flasher: Wear regular clothes under a long trench coat. Make a belt out of flashbulbs or old cameras. Tell people you are a flasher and then flash at will.

4. Grim Reaper on Vacation: Buy or make a Grim Reaper outfit, but then wear a lei or flowered necklace, a camera around your neck, Bermuda shorts, paint your nose white (like lifeguards) and carry around some postcards or a map.

5. Typical Tourist: Wear a big floppy hat, flowered shirt and long shorts, flip-flop sandals and a camera around your neck. Carry a map and look lost all the time.

6. Cheating Husband: Men can wear a button down shirt that is buttoned all wrong, pants slightly unzipped, shoes untied or on wrong feet, lipstick kisses on collar, shirt, neck or even on pants and hair messed up. Tell people you didnât dress in costume, you forgot about the party and just dropped what you were doing to come over.

7. Cheating Wife: Women can wear a skirt with the back tucked into pantyhose; hair messed up, make-up smeared and bra on the outside of shirt.

8. Undecided: Wear solid colored clothing and cut question marks out of paper. Staple or pin them to your outfit and when people ask what you are tell them either âI donât know, what am I?â or âItâs still a mystery.â

9. Ultimate Superhero: Gather together many elements of superhero costumes such as Supermanâs Cape, Batmanâs mask, Green Lanternâs ring, etc. and wear them all.

10. Twister Game: Buy a Twister game. Staple ribbon to two corners of the spinner and tie the ribbon under your chin so the spinner becomes a âhat.â Cut a hole in the center of the Twister mat and wear it like a poncho. All night long you can tell people to âput left hand on redâ and so on.

11. Web Surfer: Wear a wetsuit like surfers wear, then drape yourself with fake cobwebs.

12. Matchstick or Cigarette: Wear all white clothing with a red stocking cap. For a cigarette try wearing tan pants or cut white pants short and sew brown material from the end of the shorts down to your ankles. This makes the filter. If you can make a belt or sash with a brand name of the cigarette, even better!

14. Tornado: Wear all black or gray clothing. Sew strings of varying lengths all over your outfit. On the ends of the string, tie on tiny houses, people, cars, animals, etc. When people ask what you are, spin around fast and make sounds like a tornado.

15. Cereal Killer: Clothing should be kind of rugged and torn. Carry a bloody knife and have blood on your clothes. Attach labels or actual little cereal boxes all over your clothes.

16. Miss Matched: Dress in a gown such as a beauty queen might wear. Buy wide ribbon long enough for a sash around your shoulder. On the sash write âMiss Matched.â Then wear your makeup different on both sides of your face, your hair styled different, different earrings, different shoes and different colored nail polish.

17. Killer Bee: Buy a bee costume. Smear some fake blood on it and carry a fake weapon.

18. Spelling Bee: Buy a bee costume. Attach felt or Velcro letters to your suit and carry some around with you. If you can get enough little letters in Velcro your friends will have fun spelling words on you!

19. Peeping Tom: Wear regular clothes and a name tag that says âTomâ. Make a window frame out of cardboard, even add curtains if you are feeling real creative. When people ask what you are, hold up the âwindowâ and peep through it.

20. Red Riding in the Hood: Buy or make a red cape with hood. Have tattoos on your arms, a spiked collar, lots of piercing, etc. and talk tough all night long.

21. In the Shower: Wrap a towel around your body (wearing a tube top and shorts under the towel is optional). Wrap a towel around your head turban style or wear a shower cap. Carry a rubber duck and a back scrubber.

22. Cat Burglar: Wear black clothes, black stocking cap, ski mask or Lone Ranger-style mask. Carry a bag with some stuffed cats peeking out.

23. Kissing Booth: Find a box big enough to fit over your body. Cut or open the bottom and top of the box so that you can slip into the box. Tie rope onto one end of the box so the ropes can go over your shoulders (this will hold the box on you). Wear sexy clothes and have lipstick kisses on your clothes and face. On the box write âKisses, $1.00.â

27. Sunny Side up Eggs: Wear all white. Attach a piece of yellow felt to your derriere. When people ask what you are bend over and say âsunny side up.â
