Q. I know some guys like tattoos. And I know some guys don't. I was thinking about getting a half sleeve. Starting at the shoulder and stopping at my elbow. I'm not including any obscene images or vulgarity on my tattoo, just in case you're wondering. I've just always thought a tattoo sleeve would be a cool idea.
A. Gotcha. Colorfully done by an expert you trust, sleeves or half sleeves look great on girls, as well as guys. Since it's such an important consideration, you might try looking at some magazines down at the tattoo studio. Inked Magazine does specials every month on women and their tattoos... you want to find a style of art that really grabs you, something that when you see it, you go "That's what I like, and I'm gonna beat on doors till I find someone who does work like that!" Women are the fastest growing group of young people getting ink in the U.S. and the U.K. right now. Choose good stuff, you've got time. Take care.
What would you do if your child came home from college with a tattoo?
Q. I am 19 years old and I am going to get a tattoo soon. I really want it to run along my spine starting at my collar line and run down to just below my underwear band. It would be written in hebrew and would be about one inch thick. It would be the bible verse Ephesians 2:8- For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – (NIV)

A. I think the question you really want an answer to is, What will your parents do? People on Yahoo can't answer that question. You can usually get an idea to that answer by feeling your parents out in a conversation. Casually, tell them about a friend, who recently got a tatoo, that you think looks cool and see what they say. Or go with somebody, that you heard is getting a tatoo and tell your parents about the experience, as a passing story. Sort of work it into the conversation smoothly. They will probably ask you if you are thinking about getting a tatoo and you can Say, "maybe, someday, I've thought about it". Their reaction will tell you what they will do, before you actually get the tatoo. Both of my older kids got tatoos. I'm not real happy about their decisions, but I never gave them a hard time about it. The only reason it bothered me, was the fact that they got them in places where it's hard to cover up (forearms for my son and upper back for my daughter). You have to think about your future and how your artwork will look during an interview. Tatoos on the neck, hands and lower arms, aren't the greatest places for professionals to have. For a woman the upper back isn't always the greatest if they have to wear a nice dress for some function. When you are young, you don't usually think of yourself as having a job where you have to look really sharp and professional. Maybe you will never have a job like that, but you should always look your best in a job interview, even if the job doesn't require much contact with the public. It doesn't mean your tatoos will keep you from getting a good job, but why affect your chances when you can get tatoos in so many places. You don't have to break certain lines, such as the collar line or the short sleeve shirt line. These are things that parents think about. My younger son will want one some day. I tell him to wear a short sleeve dress shirt or a nice polo shirt to the tatoo place. When they apply the stencil transfer, you can see if the tatoo will stick out, then you can get it somewhere else. That's all I ask. He understands this. His half brother regrets his tatoo that goes up to the back of his neck. He can tell when he goes to interviews, that people keep looking at it. I'm glad my younger boy understands this fact.
