what are permanent eyebrow tattoo pro n cons?

Q. I was just reading an interesting story online when
my mum came in n ask me if i can research the side effect of
a permanent eyebrow tattoo
this was the first i ever heard her peek interest in it.
but yea

my mum 45 yrs old. though she look like she 30
and she want to know that as you get older would the tattoo change it looks.

basically whats the pro and cons of having one?

Answer
There are many pros in that as women get older, they lose eyebrow hair and it becomes increasingly difficult to get them on evenly each day. Also, they tend to rub off at the most inopportune times.

It is essential one finds a professional with a lot of experience and does eyebrow tattooing in a style consistent with her needs. The environment should be clean and safe. Tattoos and nail salons don't mix, for instance. Be sure to view examples of healed work to see the end results and make sure the artist explains things well and will work with a design everyone is happy with. A natural look with a classic shape is always the best idea and never have too sharp of an arch or tails that hang low. The start or front of the brow should be about the same level as the tip of the tail.

A knowledgeable artist will never use black ink in an eyebrow area that gets so much sun exposure. If her skin is very dark, a very dark brown would be used. There are inks/pigments specially formulated for this work. Expect touch ups every couple to few years. This is good because as she ages, the color can be easily modified.

Edit notes - They don't look fake at all if done correctly and also if done correctly they do not fade after a couple of months. The problem is there are too many who only train for a few days doing this work which is why it is important NOT to support them, but to patronize the true professionals in the industry. Those who claim "semi-permanent" work are a pock on the industry. A design should always be chosen with the idea that the face changes over time - after doing these for nearly twenty years on people of all ages, I see the changes and there is little to no ill effects with sagging features when done skillfully.

What tattoo should i get for my first, and where?

Any ideas welcome except i want something girly like a flower, but nothing like fairies! All web links are welcome dudes! Thanks xx

Answer
Don't listen to the people that say "guys
don't like tattoo's" - It's not like women are just put on the earth to please men. If you want a tattoo, get one.

This is coming from my own experiences and personal taste, so don't take too much offense to it. I wouldn't get a rainbow with butterflies all around it on your lower back. It's tacky and you'll look like an idiot when you're 45. Get a tattoo that means something to you. I draw my own tattoos then my artist tweaks them a bit to fit better, etc. For instance, depending on why you're getting a tattoo, you could get something like a rose (which are pretty tacky also, but they're okay if done correctly) with each petal representing an important person in your life. If you're getting it for a boyfriend or whatever, I, and I think alot of people can back me up on this, don't reccomend it. What happens when you break up? If you really HAVE to, then I'd get something that represents your relationship. Every responsible,smart person who gets a tattoo knows that even though things change, your tattoo represents an important time in your life.

Help! I am getting my first tattoo tomorrow?

Ceara

So I am getting my first tattoo tomorrow, its of a dove on my left wrist. It's gonna be almost two inches long. I have been to the tattoo shop 2 times. First time was to just check it out and I liked what I saw so I made the appointment. BUT it being my first time even being in a tattoo shop I didn't ask the right questions. The woman at the front desk, I assumed was a tattoo artist and I thought she was gonna be the one to tattoo me because she kept saying "I" when referring to being available to make an appointment. And silly me, I didn't ask her to explain. I didn't ask the right questions about who is going to tattoo me. All we talked about was the tattoo I wanted and how much it will hurt. So she told me the next day SHE was available from 6-8 and if I wanted I could come in and get it done. So I made the appointment for 7 thinking she was going to be the one to do my tattoo (I wanted her too because I felt very comfortable with her) and she told me that if i decided to come a little before 7 that would be okay too. She tells me the tattoo will be somewhere between $100-115 and that I need to put a $80 deposit down. So I did and the next day I came in with my dad at 6, I had free time so I thought I would come in early and she did say I could come in early and they had nothing booked. So I walk in and I start talking to her (she was eating) and I asked if she would be available soon and I said sorry about being early. She tells me that the guy is just finishing up doing a tattoo and that he needs to clean up and eat so I'll have to wait about 45 minutes. Of course I was soo confused because I thought she was going to be doing it. She tells me the guy doing my tattoo is a guest artist and shows me his work. He's pretty good but I was still a little disappointed. I didn't want to wait around for 45 minutes and I was a little bummed out so I changed the appointment for tomorrow at 5. I asked her who will be doing it and she says the guest artist. I was disappointed but I just kept telling myself that his work is good so my tattoo will come out nice.

So I have a few questions. I know I should of asked her but stupid me I didn't.

1. Is the $80 deposit included with the price of the tattoo? or do I still have to pay the full price?
2. Is $100-115 a lot to spend on a small tattoo (an inch and a half long to 2 inches long?)
3. How much of a tip do I leave? 10%?
4. Are they over charging me? From what I read, most places don't ask you to put a 80 dollar deposit down and people have gotten small tattoos for as little as 40 dollars.

Answer
The deposit in every shop that I have seen gets factored into the price of the tattoo so depending on how much they end up charging in the end (whether it be the 100 or the 115) make sure you bring enough to cover the amount that goes above the initial $80. Keep in mind many states also will add on sales tax to the price at the end. Also, make sure you bring a bit extra, not only for the tip but also if the artist declares a different price. It can happen when there is an appointment set by someone other than the artist, he may not agree with the quote she gave you. If the tattoo takes about an hour or so to finish then I would say the price is par for the course based on the shops I've worked in both in Pittsburgh and Seattle, if it is under an hour then yes that sounds a bit high for something small on the wrist like that. Normally shops have a stated minimum as well which might have been good to find out while shopping around. Tipping is really an individual thing and based on how well stuff is done but it isn't that much different between that and tipping say a server in a restaurant. Tips range anywhere from 10% to 20 some odd percent depending on how you feel you were treated as a customer.

You are right, I haven't heard of many places doing an $80 deposit either, they are really in place to make sure the artist receives something for the slot or preparing the artwork if you do not show up and in the shops I worked in it was only about $20 to $50 depending on how much art needed to be done in advance.

It seems a little odd that the person at the counter would speak to you as if they would be doing the work, if they were simply working the counter they shouldn't have cared what time they specifically would have been in the next day unless that was their way of saying his time slot would be open then.

If you are uncomfortable with him doing your tattoo you may be able to get your deposit back and shop around for a different artist but that can be tricky as a lot of places don't allow refunds on the deposit and only apply it to the cost of your tattoo, but that varies from place to place and they may make exceptions.

Best of luck!

Do you think that moms with tattoos/piercings are trashy?

Just anoth

My mom and I tend to disagree on this. I have 3 young sons and a husband, but I also have 2 tattoos and am planning on getting 1 or 2 more. I am considering getting my tongue pierced but am probably too chicken to. Or my eyebrow done. My mother said that people think that parents with body art are trashy people. I don't think so. Either way, I know what I like and won't let someone opinion tell me otherwise. I'm just curious as to what other people think about it.

Answer
lol My situation is slightly different. I grew up with a VERY conservative mother. However, when she reached 45 years old, she got her first tattoo. A small butterfly by her thumb. She's now 55 and has over 20 tattoos and 13 piercings. She didn't realize how much she enjoyed the art of it until she got her first one. I can guarantee you that my mother is far from trashy. I don't deny the fact that some people don't like the way it looks, but my mother is still a wonderfully kind, polite, compassionate woman. Because of that, I've learned to never judge a book by their cover. A person can be COVERED in tattoos and/or piercings and we can make all kinds of assumptions on what kind of person they are or how they grew up, but its often times just not true.

I'm a mother of three and also have a couple tattoos and looking at getting more. My personal preference is to keep them out of sight though, so they are on my back rather than my arm or calf. I think its funny when a friend or coworker starts talking about, "Oh my goodness, did you see that woman with all the tattoos? She looks like trailer trash. Her poor kids are gonna grow up to be freaks too". Then I smile at them and tell them that I have a couple tattoos. They are always embarrassed. I most certainly don't look or act like what people stereotype as a "tattoo'd momma". Having tattoos has NOTHING to do with what kind of parent you are or how you behave. I'm not trashy, I'm not "wild", I'm not seeking attention.... I just like the art of my tattoos. They are beautiful and meaningful to me.

So good for you for doing what you want. Who cares if people think its trashy or inappropriate. Their opinions have no real weight on your everday life. Getting something like that done won't change what kind of mother, daughter, friend, wife and coworker you are.

How much would a dye job cost on average?

Q. I have a pixie cut(see Vanessa Hudgens pixie cut for a better idea) and I finally convinced my mom to let me color my hair. It was pretty easy since my dad doesn't care what I do with my hair. So anyway, I want to dye it a brownish black(again see Vanessa) with subtle lighter brown highlights. On average how much would it cost at a salon? I want to pay for it myself so I need an idea of how much to save up. Thanks lovelies Godbless:)

Long to your shoulder to Pixie, don't matter, they use 1 box of hair dye anyway, or mix colors in.
