Will it be ridiculous to have 2 seperate zodiac tattoos on the body?
July 29th, 2009
I already have a plain black cancer zodiac swirl symbol on my ankle. I want to add a constellation of cancer on my lower hip or side of hip. I want stars to look like these http://media.photobucket.com/image/constellation%20tattoo/grapezebra/wholetat.jpg but they will be outlined baby blue and lime. Is it a bad idea to have 2 "same" zodiac symbols on a body? I already regretted my stupid ankle tattoo and I wish I can remove it.
cancer constellation looks like this http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/433294161_1d590457d0.jpg%3Fv%3D0&imgrefurl=http://flickr.com/photos/docjohnboy/433294161/&usg=__2MLbxQ8JqI5qqW3SjuAYMedMY9k=&h=400&w=400&sz=7&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=-mH_YfBk90oDPM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcancer%2Bconstellation%2Btattoo%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4SUNA_enUS282US282%26um%3D1
No I don’t think it’s ridiculous, I’m a Cancerian and didn’t even know that was the Cancer constellation…It’s not obvious that it is to do with astrology. I say go for it :).
How much do tattoos cost?
July 29th, 2009
I have found the perfect tattoo and I just would like an estimate as to how much it would be to get done at a quality tattoo parlor.

I’d change that tattoo up a bit just to make it look more customized for you. And anyone who said $50 for that tattoo has no idea what they are talking about. That tattoo is going to run you at least $350 to $450 especially if you are getting it in the same location. Tattoo artists charge anywhere between $50 to $150 an hour and there is no way that tattoo can be done in less than 2 hours.
What are some good ideas for heart tattoos?
July 29th, 2009
I’m looking for good pictures of heart tattoos…
And I want a tattoo with a heart in memory of my Great Grandma…I want it to say her name and the names of 2 bible chapters…do you guys have any good ideas?
a broken heart with her name across it and the chapters on each side
Y do so many people get nautical star tattoos?
July 29th, 2009
do they mean anything?
I have a blue and black one on my foot at the tip of smaller shooting stars to represent guidance and my lifes direction. They are originally based from sailors and they used the north star for direction at sea…however they more modernly by some yet not all can be used to rep punk rockers or gay and lesbian communities. I went in detail with my artist of specific colors and placement because it was important to me that it fit the exact way I wanted to symbolize my life and goals…As long as your tattoo means something to you thats the point!

Feminine Tattoos - Things to Consider
July 25th, 2009
While anyone considering getting a tattoo needs to do a little planning, women in particular should give some thought not only as to what the tattoo is going to be, but to where on the body it will be. It is important to take location into consideration to get a feminine tattoo that continues to look good over time.
Pregnancy and normal aging can cause changes in women’s bodies that produce more change in the elasticity of the skin in certain areas than what is typically seen in men. You don’t want a nice, pretty, feminine tattoo in a place where it is likely to be on sagging or stretch-marked skin. Not only do potential skin changes make some areas unsuitable, tattoos can draw attention to areas that you might want to be less noticeable at some point in your life.
For this reason, I suggest that women consider areas for their tattoos that are not subject to big changes in skin elasticity and tone. The ankle, back of the neck, low back, and shoulder blade areas work well in most situations. Another area where the skin tends to stay relatively firm is the forearms, but this area is more popular for masculine as opposed to feminine tattoos.
Although popular locations for tattoos with many women, the belly-button area and the breasts are subject to considerable distortion with the changes that tend to occur with pregnancy and aging. Even the pubic area can be susceptible to loosening of the skin, or some sagging of the lower belly from above, and so these areas might be better to avoid.
After you decide where to get the tattoo, the next decision is what to get. The first recommendation is to NEVER have someone tattoo the name of your lover anywhere on your body. No matter how good the relationship is right now, things can change!
There are many possibilities for feminine tattoos, so choosing can be challenging. The main thing is to pick something that you really like and not let yourself get talked into something you don’t want, because that tattoo will be with you for a very long time. Spend the time to study your options to figure out what you want - there’s no need to rush into anything.
If you are looking for an image such as a Celtic knot, a flower, or some other picture, simply keep looking until you find something that you really like. If you are considering an Asian letter or some kind of symbol, I recommend that you research it fully to be sure you know what it means. A single reference or a tattoo artist may give you incorrect information, and so instead of a symbol that means “gentle waters”, it could very well mean “puddle of urine”. Just be sure you know what it is that you are having permanently imprinted on your body.

Faq About Tattoos
July 25th, 2009
Q: Will it hurt when I get a tattoo?
A: Simply put, yes. There is some degree of pain involved and the amount really depends on your level of tolerance. If you are scared or have a fear of needles, it’s fair to say that some of the pain will come from your fear of the process.
Q: Can the tattoo artist use any type of cream that will numb my skin?
A: Generally speaking, these products are not recommended. You can ask your tattoo artist for specific reasons.
Q: Are tattoos expensive?
A: If it is quality work, yes. Anyone can offer you a deal on a cheap tattoo, but this is going to be a permanent part of your body and you want the work to be something that you are proud of. In a nutshell, you will get what you pay for. When it comes to tattoos, don’t cut any corners when it comes to cost and never ask the artist to lower his/her price.
Q: When should I get a tattoo?
A: Many do not realize this, but the sunny months of summer can reek havoc on a tattoo. Therefore, it is often recommended that individuals get tattooed during the winter months when the sun’s rays are not as powerful and, therefore, not as damaging to the work itself.
Q: If I am sick, is it still OK for me to get a tattoo?
A: If your immune system is not 100%, getting a tattoo is probably not a good idea. You will need the full strength of your immune system to help with the healing process of your skin, so avoid the process if you are under the weather. Instead, call to reschedule your appointment for a later date when you will be feeling better.
Q: If I have tattoos, is it still OK to get a natural suntan or visit the tanning bed?
A: Even though everyone desires the perfect sunkissed tan, especially in the summer, exposing your tattoo to UV rays/light is not a good idea. This can cause the color in your tattoo, or the artwork itself, to fade. When you are outside in the sun, you can wear sunblock to help protect your tattoo from the sun’s damaging rays.
Q: If I have recently gotten a tattoo on my leg, when can I shave again?
A: Because each individual’s healing process is unique, there is no universal answer to this question. Your tattoo is a wound and, like all wounds, it needs to heal before you can safely resume shaving. Otherwise, you will continually aggravate the scab or any raised areas that are present on almost every tattoo. Some can resume shaving within 5-10 days, which is often when the new protective layer of skin has surfaced after the final peeling stage. It is best to ask the tattoo artist about the exact stages of the healing process and what to watch for as an indicator of when you can begin shaving again.
Q: I have a friend who recently purchased a tattoo kit and they promised me a really good deal. Is this safe?
A: Absolutely not. Your friend could very well be endangering your health by âpracticing’ their skill on you. In order to become a professional tattoo artist, an individual needs to get the proper apprenticeship through a tattoo studio, observe the process and begin practicing on material objects before tattooing people. The apprenticeship usually takes 3-5 years, so there is no way that this type of knowledge can be learned in a kit.
Q: Can I remove the bandage after I get a tattoo so that I can show my friends?
A: This is not a good idea. The bandage is there because the tattoo artist realized the potential for infection if the wound were to be exposed to open air. Leave the bandage on according to the instructions from the tattoo artist.
