Original Question

Any ideas of a tattoo that mean stay strong?

Q. I want something on my hip or wrist just to remind me to stay strong.

A. The tattoo that means strength is the black panther.

The black panther is the largest and most ferocious cat of the Americas, pound for pound more fierce and dangerous than: the tiger, the lion or the leopard. The panther is at the pinnacle of the food chain in the Americas. Wherever this feline is found, it's revered for its strength, valor and power. Also for its maternal gentleness. As a tattoo motif, the panther makes a powerful statement about the person who chooses it, for it is a symbol of courage, strength and personal leadership.

On a woman, they look best on a forearm or outer calf. If you want it perfect, make sure the length of the panther matches the length of your forearm or calf or it wont look right.

Do you think girls with candy colored hair, bright makeup and colorful tattoos are attractive?

Q. I like that look, but I think only a few women can pull it off, the one's with a sweet and spunky personality. They remind me of anime characters... vs... you know, a tattoo covered clown. I would go for that look, but I can't have hair and makeup like that for my job, and I wouldn't want to be covered in tattoos for the rest of my life.

A. Totally - but like you said, not everyone can pull that look. Asian girls remind me of the anime characters. Some look cool as hell.

If I get a tattoo at age 13 will it stretch when I grow bigger?

Q. I'm looking to possibly get a tattoo covering all of my back right shoulder blade to remember the three most important women in my life who raised me since i was young because my mom wasn't there. But I'm afraid that when I grow (Probably about another 7 or 8 inches 6'4" 6'5") that the tattoo will stretch. I wont get fat no one in my family is at all overweight.

A. It does not matter how much you grow or weight you put on, no reputable tattoo place would even think about touching you to put a tattoo on you and risk being shut down for tattooing a minor.

I am looking for a Arabic Tattoo to honor my mother and father?

Q. I am of Moroccan decent, so i would like to get a tattoo that is in arabic. I was first thinking of getting mother and father in arabic, plain and simple. However, i want it to have more meaning, maybe a phrase or quotation from the Quran . Or a symbol, i have checked online, but i always get different regions than my own. Can anyone help me please?

A. In Modern Moroccan culture, tattoos have a really bad connotation. It wasn't always like this, a lot of elderly women still have tattoos on their faces, hands and feet. I can't explain why this change occurred, but if i know my parents wouldn't even hear of it for example :)

Now, stay away from Quran verses, god's names, the prophet's sayings and the like. It's considered a blaspheme. You'll have Muslims of all nationalities coming to you asking why you did it, saying it's haram and feeling offended... i think it's not a desirable reaction to a tattoo, so please be careful, and avoid anything religious unless you want it to have this kind of reactions :)

I would advice you to pick a verse of classical Arabic poetry. It's not specific to Morocco but it's chic. If you want something really Moroccan, look for a song lyrics, and if your parents are Amazighs, maybe a berber poetry in Tifinagh script. I don't want to suggest something, because to honor your parents, this is something you most do by yourself. This alone will give it a deep meaning, along with you love and respect for them :)

I am writing a paper about tattoos and piercings and I need help finding material?

Q. I need research regarding cultures that either embrace or frown upon tattoos and piercings around the world. They have to have credible sources. Can anyone help me?

A. The oldest known tattoo was made by running a string under the skin. I assume coated in charcoal.

There is a tribe, that still exists, where all the women have face tattoos. They are intracate and normally done by the Grandmother. This right of passage started to prevent their women from being stolen. They figured other tribes/invaders would not want disfigured women. Now it's something girls look foreward to.

I've read these facts in magazines, but I don't remember where.

National Geographic might have good info.

Are all lower back tattoos on women tramp stamps?

Q. Are all back tattoos on women tramp stamps or just the ones that go across the back that look like wings or tribal etc. My wife has a fairy on her back and her friend said that's a tramp stamp. I say it isn't. We have a bet on this one.

A. Well, it depends on who you ask. I'm a tattoo artist, and we refer to them in the business as lower back tattoos. The only time you may hear it, (at least around my shop) is when some girl, (looking like she's been missing out on soap and water for a week) comes in to price one, and when she finds out what tattoos cost, heads out the door. Now, that phrase is derogatory toward women in general, and was likely coined by some narrow-minded geek, who wasn't getting any. So, he came up with the term, out of nothing more than lust, jealousy of her boyfriend, and good old fashioned self-righteous indignation. Too bad popular opinion, among the ill educated, swings the other way. Also, good lower back tattoos are conformed to the lines of the body, particularly across the top of the hips. they can cut it low, so it can be hidden with regular jeans, but still show it off in the bedroom, or on the beach. To me, that in itself shows a dignified attitude about placement. NOT to be confused with a 'bulls-eye' as that is put on for different motives, and a whole different subject. The fairy is a fairy tattoo, that also happens to be a lower back tattoo. Calling it a 'tramp stamp' is ridiculous. That's my two cents.

Can you put a tattoo around a scar with scar tissue?

Q. I have a big scar on my lower back and alot of scar tissue. It looks like the middle of a butterfly and I want to have the outline of butterflu wings put on the side of it to make it look like a butterfly. Can you help me with sites that I can look at some butterfly tattoos?

A. Sure honey! Some tattoo artists are leary of working on scar tissue because of the overall quality but good ones incorporate it with a design to blend. I know a girl with scars all over her arms and they camoflauged them beautifully. A few women with breast cancer scars had it done and you do not even notice them. Good for you for turning something into a positive and including it with the art! ROCK ON SISTER!

What Clairol Natural Instincts hair color should I use to achieve natural Asian hair color again?

Q. I have lightened hair from bleaching a year ago and would like to dye my hair back to its original color again. I usually use L'oreal but took interest in the Clairol's Natural Instincts line. I originally planned on buying Natural Instincts Ebony Mocha/Brown-Black but read from reviews that the color was actually darker than what is shown on the box. So, I chickened out because I didn't want my hair turning too dark or black. I have a similar hair color to this celebrity:

What other color from the Natural Instincts line would you recommend to achieve the hair color in the photo? or...What other ammonia-free/semi-permanent color and brand would you recommend?

Thank you in advance!

A. Going back to its original color just takes you longer to get there, if you add another layer of hair dye on your hair.

Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. They call that the ombre style.


Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

> > > Hair dye chemicals linked to cancer
London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <

Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.

Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that don’t contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they don’t, are not being honest. “Big brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,” she explains.

The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness.

Original Question

How do I gain my mom's trust back & how do I apologize to her?

Q. A little over a month ago I was on tumblr and whatnot and I saw a girl with a side-shave. if you don't know what that is, it's when the side of your hair is shaved. I thought it was cool so I asked my mom if I could do it and my mother being the close-minded woman she is, said no. I honestly contemplated it over a series of weeks and I pulled my hair back several times to see what it would look like and I honestly really loved it. I shaved it off but the thing is, I did like under my hair so it's not obvious at all unless you pull my hair back. Today my mom saw it and she freaked out and started hitting me (not hard or anything) and screaming at me. I know I shouldn't have done it but my mom is one of the close-minded people that thinks they're always right and how you should never have tattoos, ears piercing, black nail polish is the devil's shit, and all that kind of bull. Then when we get home she starts screaming about how I probably do drugs and shit and I HAVE NEVER DONE DRUGS. Even though all of my friends do and they constantly me offer it, I always say no because I know disappointed my parents would be if they found out. I shaved the side of my head, so?!?!? It's hair right? It'll grow back. It's not like I went and smoked a bunch of weed and got arrested.
Now my mom is screaming at me and she won't even allow me to talk to her because every time I try to get a sentence out of my mouth, she starts screaming. I had plans to meet my favorite actor ever on friday and my mom knows how much this means to me because he's my favorite actor in the entire world and I finally scored tickets to meet him and my mom won't let me go now. It's honestly a bunch of bull and I just want to know how I can get her to forgive me and allow me to go? I'm 16 by the way and i kind of just read over this, I swear i'm not as bratty as this is making me seem. I'm all in all, a really good kid and I get good grades and this is probably the 2nd mistake i've made in my entire teenage years.

I honestly didn't think my mom would freak out this much about my hair and hasdifhaskdfh asd,. How do I apologize to her?

Thanks in advance!

A. Sounds just like my mom.

I know they might seem unreasonable sometimes, but you just have to stick through it for a few more years. You can have all the freedom you want when you turn 18, but as long as you're still a teenager you'd be wise to follow your parents' orders, no matter how stupid they may seem.

Life lesson aside, the best thing to do is calmly (and I really mean CALMLY) apologize to your mom, promise it'll never happen again, give her some sad sob story about how you just wanna talk to her normally again, and hope she forgives you. Trying to argue or reason with her will only make it worse for both of you.

What does it represent when a woman has a tattoo on her ankle?

Q. I've known two people with this. First was my sixth grade teacher, she had a butterfly tattooed there. Then it was my therapist. I recently saw hers, couldn't see what it was clearly. An answer from an old question said that it meant that they were a lesbian. Is that true? Or is it because they work in respectable places so they can't show tattoos anywhere else but the ankle?

A. It doesn't mean anything other than they like tattoos. I have one on my ankle and 5 other ones in places ranging from my hips, neck, and arm. None of them can be seen unless I want them to be seen.

Original Question

What to wear to a business interview?

Q. im a college student and need a little guidance on what to wear to an accounting interview (especially the shoes, what height heel is appropiate?) for a major accounting firm such as pricewaterhousecoopers LLP and kpmg LLP??

A. You are required to wear some sort of "business" attire. This consists of a blouse (perhaps light colored or white) with a suit or pant suit (I personally prefer a woman in the skirt suit that falls somewhere between 2 inches above and 2 inches below the knees.

The website link below provides a more current list of what to wear and not to wear for interviews:

Women's Interview Attire

* Solid color, conservative suit
* Coordinated blouse
* Moderate shoes (heels 2 inches or less for women)
* Limited jewelry
* Neat, professional hairstyle
* Tan or light hosiery
* Sparse make-up & perfume
* Manicured nails
* Portfolio or briefcase

If you're in doubt about how to dress for an interview, it is best to err on the side of conservatism. It is much better to be overdressed than underdressed (or undressed).


What not to wear:

1. Carrying a backpack or fannypack or purse

2. Sunglasses on top of your head or headphones around your neck: Be sure to remove all your "transit gear" and tuck it in your briefcase before entering the lobby.

3. Too-short skirts: Forget what some of those gals on 'The Apprentice' are wearing. Your skirt should cover your thighs when you are seated.

4. The wrong tie: Ties should be made of silk, no less than three and a quarter inches wide with a conservative pattern. Image consultants say the best colors are red or burgundy.

5. Overly bright or large-patterned clothing: With the possible exception of creative fields like advertising or computer programming, it's best to stick with navy, black or gray.

6. Heavy makeup on women (or any makeup on a man)

7. Earrings on men: In fact, men should avoid wearing any jewelry unless it is a wedding ring, class ring or metal watch.

8. More than one set of earrings on women

9. Facial piercings, tongue jewelry or visible tattoos

10. Ill-fitting clothes. Few people can wear things straight off the rack. Spending a little extra to have your garments tailored is a worthwhile investment.

11. Long fingernails, especially with bright or specialty polishes. Nails should look clean and be trimmed to a length that doesn't leave an observer wondering how you keep from stabbing yourself.

12. Unnatural hair colors or styles. Remember, Donald Trump was a billionaire well before he began wearing a comb-over. If you're balding, try a close-cropped cut like Bruce Willis or Matt Lauer.

13. Short-sleeved shirts, even worse when worn with a tie

14. Fishnets, patterned hosiery or bare legs (no matter how tan you are). Women should stick with neutral color hosiery that complements their suit.

15. Men whose socks don't match their shoes, or whose socks are too short and leave a gap of flesh when they are seated

16. Rumpled or stained clothing: If interviewing late in the day, try to change to a fresh suit beforehand.

17. Scuffed or inappropriate footwear, including sneakers, stilettos, open-toed shoes and sandals

18. Strong aftershaves, perfumes or colognes: Many people are allergic to certain scents. For a subtle fragrance, use a good quality bath soap.

19. Belts and shoes that don't match: Shoes and belts should be made of leather or leather-like materials and the best colors for men are black or cordovan.

20. Telltale signs that your wearing a new suit. Remove all tags and extra buttons -- and remember to cut off the zigzag thread that keeps pockets and slits closed!

Don't be a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Plan and lay out what you're going to wear several days before the interview, so you'll have time to shop or get garments pressed and cleaned.

Save "innovative" or revealing garb for the club (or your couch) and strive for crisp, clean and professional. Remember, you want the interviewer to be listening to what you're saying, not critiquing what you're wearing.

Q. So my dilemma is that I have 9 tattoos already. I have one on my foot, one on my ankle, one on the side of my leg, one on my wrist, one on each boob, one behind my ear, one on my shoulder and one on the back of my neck. I have plans to get a half sleeve on my right arm, and a tree and a date on on my right wrist. Now if you're gunna tell me tattoos are trashy go right ahead. I really do not care what you think, I just want opinions. I am not going to base my decision solely on the answers I receive on here. I have some ideas of my own as to where to get it, I just would like to see what other people think. All my tattoos have some sort of meaning to me, I don't get a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo. The reason I have chose my last name is because no matter what it will always be apart of me. Even if I get married I will still have a connection to my last name.
If you're going to give me stupid answers don't even bother answering. Grow up.

A. People can be so rude and opinionated about tattoos these days. As long as they mean something to you, it doesn't matter what anyone else says

For a name tattoo it depends on how the writing style is going to be. Personally if I were to do my last name I would have it written like this
L
A
S
T
N
A
M
E

down the side of my back, just on the edge of being on the side.
Then I could add swirl and shadow accents around the edges going downward (helps elongate my body shape as I am quite petite)

Can anyone tell me more about becoming a nudist?

Q. I am interested in this lifestyle. I dont always feel the best in clothes. People stress modesty so much in this world, and I believe that us human beings should get used to each other's bodies instead of separating or hiding it. Are people with less than perfect bodies, or tattooed people accepted too?

A. You're absolutely right that people put too much emphasis on modesty. Society treats the nude body as something to be embarrassed and ashamed of, while at the same time treating it as a titillating and exciting thing that everyone wants to see (which is why near-nudity and sex appeal is so often used in advertising). It creates a very mixed message that has led to people being nearly dysfunctional when it comes to matters of nudity and body parts. I agree that people should get used to nude bodies (their own and that of others) as something that's perfectly natural and comfortable.

Among the naturist/nudist community, people of all body shapes/styles/forms are accepted no matter how perfect or imperfect they are. I've even read of post-mastectomy women with one breast and a lot of scars being accepted and feeling comfortable among nudists. People with tattoos are also very much accepted; an individual tattoo may not be accepted if it's blatantly offensive, however, but that goes for all of society and not just nudists. What makes a person accepted or not accepted is whether or not he/she is a nice person. A douchebag is a douchebag whether naked or clothed, and someone who is nice and friendly remains that way whether naked or clothed. About the only cosmetic thing that commonly isn't accepted is genital piercings because it draws unnecessary attention to the genitals, but that may be more of a rule of naturist resorts rather than the community overall.

If you feel more comfortable without clothes then by all means, go without clothes as much as possible. When the temperature is warm enough to be comfortable or is just plain hot, clothing serves no logical purpose. Once you feel comfortable enough with nudity, either alone or with your significant other, and you'd like to venture into social nudity, look into naturist resorts or nude beaches in your area where you can get out and meet people who share your interest. Have fun!

Do the Valtrex commercials make you as angry as they make me?

Q. They are pretty much saying if you take our medication you can have sex with whoever you want and you wont give them herpes. This really scares me. I dont want a valtrex takin ho to have sex with me and not tell me she has herpes because she thinks she cant give it to me. People with STDs should be forced to get a tattoo above their privates that tells what disease they have so anyone who is about to go down under knows.

A. Obviously you need some education. Herpes affects 1 in 5 men and 1 in 4 women. Chances are if you've slept with 4 people you have been exposed. Approximately 80% of those that have herpes don't know it and the test for herpes is NOT a part of normal std screenings. Many that say they are "clean" are not.

Many of the people that have herpes got them from partners that did NOT disclose. Studies have shown that you are safer with someone that KNOWS they have herpes and takes suppressives, uses condoms and avoids sex during outbreaks than sleeping with the general public. Oh, and make sure you don't have oral sex with anyone that has coldsores because that is Herpes (HSV1) and many of the new cases of genital herpes are coming from oral sex. Just because you don't see a coldsore doesn't mean the other person isn't contagious...there is something called asymptomatic shedding.

The commercial states that it lowers the risk....and before you say much more perhaps you better go and get tested for herpes....you could be part of the 80%.

What does a tattoo of a butterfly on your lower back signify?

Q. I just seen people with tattoos of butterflies on their back and i wondered if it meant something or if it didn't.

A. The meanings of tattoo's change over the years and vary between the different kinds og groups of people who like them. When I was younger, Birds and butterfly's meant you were free and didn't keep one steady boyfriend. To the bikers and rockers, it meant loose or slut, to the goth's black butterfly's meant seditive like sleep heroin...or drugs ect... They mean different things to different people I have both birds and butterflies. Ever hear that Tori Amos song "Butterflies?" It's about a woman who only sleeps with men who are not clingy or easily attached. So use your judgement and get what you want...If you do it for anyone else, you'll never do it at all.

My favorite tattoos are snowflakes... I just got them recently I got them because to me... They mean that no two are alike, I got three small ones and in the center of each one I have my 2 son's initials and my partners intials in the larger of the three.

What are some good love quotes preferably in a different language?

Q. I wanna get a tattoo on the back of my neck that says something about love or being beautiful. just something classy and pretty. I would like it to be in another language like french or something. also since its going on the back of my neck it needs to be small. Thanks for your help!

A. 99% of all sayings wont fit there for size reasons. Pick another location. You need to pick an area that is flat and doesn't move or the lettering will distort. The usual location for classy or romantic says for a woman is the chest.

And you have to pick the words or they wont be meaningful, which is the basic reason for any tattoo. All tattoos are about you being true to yourself.

What is the correct way to write Faith and Hope in Hebrew for a woman's tattoo?

Q. I am wanting to get a hebrew tattoo and I learned that it could be different for a man or woman. Also wondering if it matters if you have the little dots by the letter/symbol?

A. Getting a tattoo in Hebrew is contradictory. It is against the jewish religion to have a tattoo. The nazis put tattoos on the jews to prevent them from being buried in jewish cemeteries.

Where should I get my ambigram tattooed at?

Q. I am wanting to get a tattoo of an ambigram one way saying strength upside down it will say courage. I wanted it on the inside of forearm however since I am going to apply for a dental hygiene program I feel as if this would hurt my chances in the feild. any other ideas of where I should put it where I can hide it if I need for a job? I already have one of my inner ankle, and I am a women. also, what do you think of this tattoo idea? thanks!

A. If you really want it on the inside of your forearm I say go for it. You can always wear a 3/4 length sleeve shirt underneath your scrubs. If you don't like that, you can get it on the upper inside of your arm. You can get it on your side or on the top of your foot.

What symbols represent strength and beauty?

Q. Either one symbol or seperate ones work. I'm really into egyptian symbols like the ankh and eye of horus, but I want the symbol to represent strength and/or beauty. PLEASE NO CHINESE/ASIAN art. I'm not trying to be racist, this will be a tattoo idea and i'm not into chinese art and culture. I'm part Mayan indian so any of those symbols would be greatly appreciated. Hieroglyphics will work, too. ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME. Thanx in advance.

A. The nefers symbol in egyptian hieroglyphics means "beauty" but it's not going to be a very attractive tattoo...
As for mayan symbols, I'm sorry, I know little about their symbols. However, there is a symbol of a heron (bak) in mayan symbolisms and herons are both beautiful and strong.
If you're going for a figure tattoo, the tarot card for Strength is a great symbol for both strength and beauty. It's got the image of a lion and a woman. (http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/pkt/img/ar08.jpg)

How badly do chest tattoos sag on women?

Q. i want to get a tattoo on my chest, above my breasts and below my collar bones, but im worried about sagging later on.

A. Hey, depends on your size and how genetically predisposed towards sagging you are, but it's extremely likely to end up looking stretched out, and aside from that it's also an extraordinarily ugly place for a woman to get a tattoo - it's also a place very difficult to cover up convincingly should the need arise, unless you want to spend your professional life in high necked tops. Honestly, I'm not saying this to p*** you off but unless you're a seriously hard core tattoo chick, please think again - to the non-hard core tattoo population tattooed breasts (or just above them) really, really looks appalling... stretched out or not.

Original Question

How painful is a tattoo on your forehead?

Q. Don't give me a speech or preach about tattoo on my forehead I want it a little above the between of my eyes a simple stick cross. How painful would this be?

A. I answer these questions related to pain in the same way every time.

The pain in different places differs from person to person, pain threshold does have a lot of input but, for example, my chest tattoo didn't hurt at all, where as some people I know said their chest tattoo hurt a lot!

Anyway, here's a basic pain level chart I always reffer people to.

Pain level 1
These include the upper arm, forearm, calf, Bum, and Thigh. For a 1st tattoo these are great points to begin your inked journey.

Pain level 2
These include the centre back, front / side of thighs and shoulders. This is also not too bad a start for your first tattoo. The shoulders and central back region can be area that require quite a lot of movement. The skin on these areas is much looser meaning it takes longer to tattoo and also longer to heal. On areas that have lots of movement such as these, require more care once a tattoo is completed. Due to the thigh area being quite a dense muscle mass and also quite tight skin, it may tend to bruise the day after.

Pain level 3
These include the knees, elbows, hands, head, neck, feet, chest and back of thighs. Beginners beware of starting at these areas. You would need to be determined to have tattoos here as the high sensitivity would require a lot of mental focus to get you through. The poor quality of skin on both the knees and elbows will result in a very slow tattoo process and nerves are very close to the surface in these areas. This could result in the tattooing being unbearable for any length of time for some people. As with the orange areas these tend to be high movement areas and will require a longer healing timescale. You may find that to achieve a good solid colour, you may have to repeat the tattoo process on these areas. As a side note the chest area on men can be much more sensitive to pain than a woman, yet due to the tighter skin on a male, the tattoo can be completed quicker.

Pain level 4 (OWCHIE!)
Areas include hips, ribcage, stomach, back of knees, armpit, inside of elbow, nipples, lips, inside of thighs and genitals. Are you really sure you want to get that tattoo? As these areas can elicit crying, half finished tattoos or even the customer passing out. This could just be more than you may be able to handle. All of these purple areas are considered by most to be the most painful areas to be tattooed. The stretchy or thin skin over bone are slow to tattoo, some of these may require multiple sessions to achieve solid colour and smooth shading. Healing can be just as painful as receiving the tattoo and may require a few days off from your regular activities.

SOME USEFUL TIPS WHEN GETTING A TATTOO:

•Women are your more sensitive the week prior to and during your cycle. Plan around those dates to have the best experience possible when getting your tattoo.
•Use lotion everyday on the area to be tattooed at least 1 week prior for healthier skin and better results.
•Do not go out in the sun at least one week prior to being tattooed (including tanning beds) This drys the skin and if peeling occurs could damage the tattoo.
•Consider what you will wear for 2 weeks while healing if your tattoo is in an area like the foot, waist, shoulders or chest. Shoes, waistbands, belts, underwear, and bras can all damage tattoos if you do not plan ahead. Find comfortable clothing that will not touch or rub during this time.
•Always eat a good meal before being tattooed and drink plenty of fluids.
•Be sure to get a good nights rest before your appointment.
•Ask what kind of aftercare products you will need when you set up to get your tattoo.
•Mention any allergies you may have, pigments, dyes, perfumes.
•Some medication may thin your blood, check with your doctor before being tattooed.
•Anyone with an autoimmune disorder needs to check with their doctor and should bring a note to be tattooed.

Blondes vs. Brunettes.
Researchers/some guy in his basement working for Superdrug surveyed 1,000 men, determining that 54 percent of them would choose a brunette to be their wife. A minority 16 percent preferred blonde hair, while 30 percent of participants shrugged their shoulders and asked when they would have access to the free doughnut holes they were promised when they signed up for the study (the answer, sadly, was never).
Other useless information gleaned from this researcher: men think women with brown hair take better care of their appearance, make better cooks.

Go lighter if you want to look older than your mom.

My church friend went blonde, or ash blonde, who knows, her orig. hair color was black, now she's older looking than her mom - 56. It didn't even go with her complexion, and she's hating every minute of it.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <

Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.

The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.

Sexually abused tattoo ideas???!?!?

Q. Ok so When i was 9 years old, i was sexually abused. Im currently seeing a therapist and I'm getting better. I want to get a tattoo that symbolizes that part of my life. To show that I'm a survivor. my problem is I don't know what tattoo I want to get. Do u have any creative ideas for a tattoo. I have an idea of just tattooing survivor but I want something to symbolize that. Oh and I'm 18.

A. teal is the awareness ribbon color, you could also get a kanji symbol for strength.

I was very close to getting an upside down panda on my shoulder blade
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1oxwkVkxK1rsd5qvo1_400.jpg

my father abused me when I was younger, and I fell into a depression from it, I battled depression for over 10 years, and it still comes back at times. The panda can symbolize depression and upside down is like turning yourself around from the depression.
I decided against it however, bc I wanted to move on from it all. Plus pandas are my favorite animals and I hate to think of them in a depressing way.

If you are religious, a simple teal cross with the word strength, or somethign might be a good idea.
If you want something intricate, Maybe a tree with a womans body as the trunk, with some blue leaves coming down or blowing in the wind.

a dove, with the awareness ribbon in its beak?,
example:

What type of tattoo should I get on my stomach?

Q. This is going to be my first tattoo, but i don't know what to get. I want it to be small-medium. Maybe dealing with love?

A. For your first tattoo, getting one on your stomach is a bad idea. We wrote multiple articles on the questions you have. "Another spot not recommended is the stomach because weight can go up and down like crazy and that’s where it will show the most."

First question is what you should get. We wrote an article called "What Should My First tattoo be" here:
"We suggest whatever tattoo you get, make sure its personal and small. What if you don’t like your tattoo? You have to stick with it for almost ever unless you get it removed, which also takes time to get rid of. Get something like an RIP tattoo of someone that was special to you that can remind you every day of how awesome that person was"

I want to be a tattoo artist, how?

Q. I am currently going to school to work as a designer in the video game industry. However I have been struggling with my classes in 3D and I have recently discovered the art of tattooing. I have two tattoos myself, both of which are of my own design. I would be very interested to pursue a career in tattoo, but I do not how now to go about doing this or if I would even be received well being a woman in a field dominated by men…

A. I have four tattoos. My ex fiancee was a tattoo artist too, though he was freelance and used what you would call "jailhouse" style. I don't think you'll have a problem as a woman pursuing this, I know of quite a few women artists and I was interested at one time myself.. Personally, I think to be a great tattoo artist you should have talent and passion.. but then again, they have books for people to pick the design they want and those are basically stencils. But you said you have two of your own design, so you must have it! That makes a real tattoo artist. I've heard of some tattoo academies but I think there are other ways to get that certificate or license, whatever it is.. Being an APPRENTICE should be your first step.. find a good shop that you like and feel you'll get along with the person or people who work there. Maybe your apprenticeship will turn into a job. Good luck and be safe..

Original Question

Maori tattoos, are they evil? can they mean something bad?

Q. Just wondering why some people say maori tattoos are evil and can put curses on you? does anyone know much about them? and can you get in trouble with the maori tribe and gangs etc???

A. Not sure why they said they can be evil because I've never heard that...tatau, or tattoos as we call them, were a very traditional rite of passage for the Maori. Each geometric or linear design (also the thickness, area on the body, and symbolism) is known to the other Maori to mean a particular thing. For instance, if you were a woman, you might have a particular linear design on your thigh to signify that you're married. Many men begin to receive tattoo's upon entering adulthood.

However, this is the traditional sense of the tattoos; present day it is not required that you receive the tattoos to prove you've entered adulthood even though some still do it. I believe a lot of the tattoos still hold their traditional meanings though.

...I mean, if you're going to go to the islands and show them off, some traditional people might be offended based upon the meaning or where it's at on your body. It's not like they'd beat you up or kill you though. They might even laugh if it's an opposite gender tattoo. I don't know, I'd research the designs if I were you. But, of course if you're just going to live where you do, I'm sure no one would know the difference or the meanings if you aren't living there.

Why do people from the lower social economical class get tattoos?

Q. I was wondering why do people who are from the lower social economical class end up getting tattoos. Not to say that people from middle class, upper middle class, and wealthy classes don't get them. I'm sure some of them do, but the percentage is very small. So why is it that people who come from the lower social economical class end up getting all covered in tattoos. You see it with the men who have the tattoos all down their arms from their shoulders (called sleeves) and the women who get tattoos on their legs or back. You won't see much of this in the higher social class from conservative rich people. Why is this?

I am looking for a few ideas for a new tattoo?

Q. I am going to get a tattoo that stretches from my chest to my shoulder, wraps around the back of my shoulder, and goes down to my elbow. (if you've seen dwayne "the rock" johnsons tattoo it's about the size of it). but see the thing is, is that i'm not into tribal, i don't know my family crest, i'm not samoan, I don't like skulls, dragons, nothin like that. I am of course, going to look at the scetches when I get there, but I want to have an idea b4 i walk through the door. anyone got any ideas for me? thanx

A. any kind of fierce animal will do for you. like a bear, tiger, lion. things like that are common, like having the paw cutting into the skin on the chest and the rest going around the shoulder and down the back.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27639042@N06/2575073253/
just like this pic but with a different animal.

if you are going to get a full tat like this i must tell you about the amazing tribal piece i've seen. its so majorly bad ass that i can't help it...and as it seems i cant find a decent picture of it anywhere. watch the movie. The Number 23 with Jim Carey. its a good show and an awesome tat.

okay back on subject though as your not into tribal.
if your not into tribal and your just not sure. may i suggest something mythical. like greeks gods or goddesses. the men can be strong and the women are very beautiful. you could do something like Poseidon with his trident rescuing a mermaid that is tied to an anchor or caught in a net. just shooting ideas here....if you feel like the "whole world is on you" you could get Atlas, he was condemned to carry the Earth on his back. You could get the Muses, very beautiful women that represent talent and where people get their inspiration from. i think there are eight and they represent agriculture, arts, astronomy/science, commerce, education, industry, justice, and law.

if not mythical then you could do Zodiac like the rock did. tell the artist that you want a Zoadic tattoo that is masculine and simialr to The Rock's.

What do people think of pin up girl tattoos on a woman? I have one because Virgo (girl figure) is my zodiac.?

Q. I think it's an awesome tattoo- on my ankle. I think it'a a normal, but unique design- lots of people have their sign as a tattoo. Is that strange? Thanks!

A. That's awesome. Tattoos are so individual that unless it looks trashy as in how you act making it trashy then there isn't anything wrong with it. People just like to judge others. My checks have vintage college girl pin-ups on them, hehe, love them! I also have my sign but the Kanji. Whatever suites your style!

What are ways television is censored in the usa?

Q. I know theres bleeping, blurring, and cutting off the signal but is there anymore? What were some cases or shows on tv that were censored?

A. censorship in the US is messed up I saw a show where they blurred the private parts of a guy's tattoo also a few years ago there was a show on MTV where a woman was getting breast surgery while the doctor was in the room they showed everything as he talked about her breasts but when the doctor left the room they blurred her nipples because now we were looking at tits but when the doctor returned everything was shown, How messed up is that?

Original Question

Why do people say getting tattoos are a sin?

Q. From what I been thought as a kid, the soul is what counts not the body. So what does it really matter? When you die you can't take your body with you. It just becomes an empty vessel that gets taken back into the earth.

A. It's well open to debate (I know many devote Christians who have tattoos relating to religion -such as the Virgin Mary or crosses who argue it is open to interpretation). Although I'm sure there are those who quote in Leviticus 19:28, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.” (NIV). This would seem to indicate that tattoos are a bad thing. It's suppose to be seen as you trying to alter the image of God (since humans are apparently designed in his image).

There are plenty of crazy things in Leviticus and else where in the bible that the same people who call tattoos a sin commit or disregard exist because they'd be viewed as immoral:
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that men are allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear glasses to see distant. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My friend's uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

Yes, some are these are well open to interpretation, however for the most part, these would be viewed as ridiculous as well as hypocritical if you tried arguing against them but tried condemning tattoos. I agree with you, it's your soul and personality that matters, your body is just a way of emphasising it. I enjoy studying this stuff, so I hope this helped or was intriguing.

Buy or Sell: David Fincher is the master of making the scariest non-horror films?

Q. Perhaps creepy would be a better word than scary, but regardless, I find that his films creep me out more than any horror film. The scene in Zodiac in the potential Zodiac killer's basement is suspense at it's finest, and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo slowly gets freakier. Even his "lighter" films (The Social Network) have these dark atmospheres to them.

He's definitely one of my favorite filmmakers.

BQ: Does anybody really consider Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and War Horse to be better than The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? If so, why?

A. Absolutely agreed! I wouldn't go so far as to call him the "master" since I haven't seen every non-horror film to pass judgement. But definitely yeah, he's experimented lots too, but one thing's clear--he's never strayed away from the creepy atmospheric feel every movie of his has. I completely agree with you on that. Fincher’s films have been about the pathologies of men. From Fight Club to Zodiac to Se7en, he looked at the darker side of their nature, he’s reveled in it. He even managed to make a movie about Facebook’s founder feel creepy, urgent, and disturbing. But not since he directed Sigourney Weaver in Alien3 and now, Rooney Mara; has his “dangerous pit bull” been a woman. I've seen Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and it's got everything you expect from a Fincher-movie. I preferred the Swedish version, but Fincher did justice to the Millennium book, so I can't complain (apart from the ending change).

He's one of my favourite filmmakers too. If anything I'd call him a perfectionist, because of the number of 'takes' he does to perfect a scene. I think it's brilliant when someone takes their work very seriously not "take one, ok that's done let's pack up and leave". He strives to entertain, with every frame in each film. Can't help but admire him. :)

BQ: War Horse and ELIC do not deserve to be on the list of "Best Motion Picture", period. Heck yes, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was better! Hell, Drive, Shame, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2, Rise of the Planet of the Apes-- were all better and had more "meat" than War...and ELIC. I'm sorry, but I simply don't get the ELIC nom. I get the usual Spielberg recognition in the category (if it's not best director, then best film), I'm not against nominating the usual "veterans" if their movies were genuinely good. I mean, Fincher at least deserved a best director nod. And Scorsese tried his hand in 2 new genres he was completely unfamiliar with 3D and kids. At least he tried to push the envelope. I'm sorry if I'm being a bit harsh, but Spielberg staunchly insists on finding a happy ending even in the calamity of the First World War, but that he slathers it on so thick and leaves so soft an impression. It has the usual Spielberg customary flair but never reaches greatness due to it being syrupy and proudly sentimental. It's like when you have a kid that keeps getting A* at a essay, but then gets a B and he wonders why? It's because on his standards, he could've been better, been more innovative, pushed some boundries. Spielberg's that kid. I know I didn't really answer the BQ very well, lol. I just get mad when I think about War Horse and remember how amazing so many other movies were and deserve some recognition and praise for their hard work :/

Original Question

Do nice girls finish last? And do men really like b*tches?

Q. I consider myself overall to be a "good girl". I have high respect and confidence about myself that humbles me; I'm kind to others but not a pushover; ambitious, fun, has a set of goals and hobbies; and I'm not easy but can be flirty and mannered and polite. As much as I am enjoying my single life, lately I've been jaded by men. I FEEL as if all guys are the same: some are soo interested in you and will do anything to be near you for one minute and the next, they don't like you; some will lie and believe they can get away with it; some just waste your time for attention bc they're either bored or lonely; and some will only be nice to you because they just want that one thing.

I just read "why men marry bitches" and it's soo empowering and i just realized that I have been th nice girl. And although that is a good atribute, it doesn't get you far. Reading that book has made me realize, women need to find their inner 8 yr old. At that age, boys were never a priority: it was all about getting good grades, reading my favorite books, excited to play my favorite sport during recess, or spending time with the girls playing/talking about barbies. I didn't care what people thought and I always put myself first. When a boy was mean to me, i was mean back; if he made fun of my barbies, i made fun of his trucks; if he insulted me, i insulted him back...if he did anything that was completely disrespectful, I completely ignored him and told him straight up to "never talk to me again bc he was a meanie". If he asked to borrow something and promised he'd give it back, I didn't believe him, called him a liar and didn't trust him. Now entering my mid 20s I look at women and realize how much we've changed from then. Everything is "male centered" - This book inspired me to be my 8 yr old self again: put myself first, be interested in my favorite sports/interests and if a guy ever disrespects me, I cut him off. Here's the thing where I'm torn: I don't want to "change" myself and be someone I'm not although, the book does give women the confidence to OPPOSE and OPENLY DISAGREE w. whatever a guy says or does. Growing up in an old fashioned environment, i've been raised to be "ladylike"...so maybe that's my problem. Maybe I can still be a "good girl" but have more confidence to say "no, I'm still gonna do what I want anyway no matter how much you disagree." and to stick w. your morals. Then I get confused bc this book says the truth how men will always play games or test out women...and I'm tired of games already. I thought if a guy was meant for you, it would all be natural and there wouldn't be game playing. I dated this guy (maybe age has to do alot w. it, he was 21). We went out (took me to dinner) and after that, he didn't call. My co-worker asked him and he said, "if she's really interested, she'd call me". He had a point BUT if he was really man and interested, he would've asked me to hang out again...he also started acting arrogant. It confused me bc I dated someone 5 yrs older when I was 21, he did just that. He called and initiated another meeting - no BS. I sound confused....thoughts?

A. Hello Helloooo Nurse.
You've posted variants of this post, more times than I've had hot dinners last month. =0)
I'm 'Old school' like yourself (but older) I understand what you're saying in your first paragraph & commend your parents & you for the line >>Growing up in an old fashioned environment, i've been raised to be "ladylike<< (what do your parents think of today's society)?, but I think you need to blame some of it on the demise of family values down the generations, peer pressure, society, sexual equality, the 'Sisterhood' the ladette culture etc-etc. I see young+ girls openly urinating or engaging in sex acts in the park at the bottom of my garden, in shop doorways etc (I think you get the picture) & this is in daylight, then there's the fighting, getting pi$$3d & puking everywhere - - - it is known that more females than males are arrested for drunk & disorderly conduct these days, they seem to have no shame.
I could go on - - but - -.
Perhaps this book you read should be introduced into the school curriculum for girls. (now awaiting a visit from the sexual equality board) but then that would be shot to hell, when parents dress their little 4yr old girls up sexually with playboy branded outfits & the like, then would up in arms complain if they attracted the attention of the local perv or where sexually active. Anyway - - back to your posting - - -
>>I FEEL as if all guys are the same<< Same could be said for women, but no we're NOT - - are we?.
>>some are soo interested in you and will do anything to be near you for one minute and the next, they don't like you;<< Yes, that is about 60% true, with others it's called the 'thrill of the chase', yes we will work hard to get you, then when we do - - - some will 'relax' so to speak & feel we don't need to try so hard.
>>some will only be nice to you because they just want that one thing.<< Players are like that, can spend months working on a 'mark' if it's an advantage, (money, sex, power)
>>some will lie and believe they can get away with it;<< (That also goes both ways) But then isn't that down to - - Tolerance, (letting them get away with little lies) - -Stupidity, (allowing the lies to escalate without check, or he/she can change) or - - Low self esteem - - (but "he/she loves me really, that's what love is')
>>some just waste your time for attention bc they're either bored or lonely;<< True! But again - Both sexes are guilty of this.
As for your headline - - >>Do nice girls finish last? And do men really like b*tches?<< I & many others could 'ASK' the same thing. There are plenty of women who've broken a good mans heart or family up (sometimes abandoning the kids too) due to their actions. Men (rich & poor) who've worshiped the ground, treated them nice, only for them to go of with the local tattooed biker or the likes.
My ex (Claire) of 6yrs (I' knew her for many years earlier) while with me, kept her options open & started a relationship with an abusive drug taking ex con (arson & burglary) who still robs people & (allegedly) had/has a unhealthy interest in children because - she said - WAIT FOR IT - - "he can change, he deserves a second chance" (yes she enjoyed telling me & rubbing my nose in it), Karma though - - within a month of us parting, she was pregnant, engaged & married in that order, let herself go,gave up her law degree courses, then lost her job in a big law firm, unhappy in an abusive marriage, struggling to keep a roof over her head, self esteem back to square one etc. Believe it or not though, I still love her & worry about her (& daughter) - - but - - hey-ho.
But Yes! there are good people with morals & standards out there for us Nurse, (a bit like virgins - eh)? =0) - We - - - - - just - have to - - keep looking.
Best wishes.

what are the standards for modeling for fashion?

Q. I want to be a model really bad but i don't what the standards are ..

A. For women, if you want to be seen on the cover of a national fashion magazine, to sign a lucrative national ad contract, to become a “supermodel”, or even to be a “fashion model”, you need the following when you start:

1. Be between 15-19 years old.
2. Be between 5′9″ and 6′ tall.
3. Be thin. Really, really thin. Something like 105-115 pounds, except for Plus models, who can be dress sizes 10-20 or so, depending on the market.
4. Don’t have especially large breasts (34C is generally the upper bound of acceptable), lots of stretch marks, tattoos, piercings or highly tanned skin. Dark skin is fine, lots of tan is not fine.
5. Be beautiful. Not necessarily pretty, but beautiful. An interesting, beautiful face is at least as good for a fashion model as is an “all American” look.
6. Have the right personality for it: a strong commitment to modeling (not just an interest in it), an ability to take rejection (something most beautiful girls aren’t good at), a thick skin, not a lot of modesty (nobody cares what you don’t want someone to see, we have a fashion show to put on . . .) and a lot of self confidence.
7. Be willing to relocate to a major market, with New York City strongly preferred.
8. Be willing to travel to strange locations with no friends there to support you, little money, little help, lots of opportunity for both good and bad things to happen to you.

Original Question

How can you find young women (18+) would would like to model nude?

Q. I'm trying to put together a photo book and I'm looking for models with a story to tell...I'd like to have an artistic nude picture of them with their story. It can be about anything. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested.

A. It is certainly not "perverted" to take nude photos and I can understand some of your difficulty in finding models.

There are many places that you can find models, however, and it should not be a very big problem or one that cannot be overcome.

The first place to seek nude models is a modeling agency. Look in your local phone book for "modeling agencies." Be prepared to pay a model for her time and nude models will not be inexpensive. Professional models normally charge a premium for nude work.

A second way might be to approach an art teacher at a local college and inquire about life models. You might find someone who would pose for tasteful photos and who might not charge quite as much as a professional photographic model.

A third way might be to advertise in the local paper or on Craig's list, making sure to state that there is no eroticism or pornography involved. If you get any response make it clear that the model is welcomed to bring along any friend either male or female to chaperon the proceedings.

I also suggest meeting the model and the friend away from your chosen photographic place or studio before the shoot to ascertain both your and their safety, trustworthiness, appearance, etc. and to go over the details and what is expected of each participant.

There is a web site which features alternative models such as those with tattoos, body piercings, etc. and it might be worthwhile to contact some of the models there or to advertise there and let them know that you are willing to shoot photos with the dual purpose of producing your book and helping them to get some well produced photos (if you are capable of producing such.)

I forget what the name of the site is, but you might find it by searching the archive here on Yahoo answers as I am sure that I have seen the reference more than once. It might be something like "Black Widow."

Maybe ask the questions "What site is it that features alternative style models (tattoos and piercings) both nude and semi-nude?" I'm sure you'll get a response.

Good luck in your endeavor.

Original Question

How do you go about a Federal Business Grant?

Q. I own a very successful tattoo shop and would like to expand my business, and I was aware of a business grant how would i go about it?

A. It is hard to find grants to start a business -- especially for a tatoo shop.

Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.

One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html

"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program

Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
