If you saw someone like this with a tattoo what would you think?

Q. Just curious. 200lb female. A little tall but has a good sized belly and some fat on her ribs/thighs/butt blah blah. She has a tattoo under her ribs. Not trashy just a small cute little thing. Would you think its gross for a bigger person to have a tattoo there? Or is the main problem the fact that she would wear a bikini to somewhere like a beach when she is that big?

A. I don't see anything wrong with an overweight woman getting a tattoo on her ribs. I have a tattoo on my ribs and I am overweight.

However, at the same time...I'm around that weight and I would never wear a bikini on the beach. My personal pool? Heck yeah. But at the beach I rather keep my stomach covered as it definitely isn't my strong spot.

And some of you people are jerks. There's no need to hate on people that are overweight. Good for you that you don't struggle with weight problems in life, some of us do. Stop being an douche for the sake of being a douche.

How bad does a rib cage tattoo hurt?

Q. I'm a chubby girl and I'm planning to get this tattoo on my right rib cage

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzafpbJWl41qa3igco1_400.jpg

how bad will it hurt?

A. Tattoos hurt no matter what. Anyone who says they don't is boldface lying. How badly a tattoo hurts varies on person to person. For me for instance, I sat like a champ for my ribs and foot, but cried like a little b**** on my back. When going to get your tattoo, or thinking about one, pain factor should be the LEAST of your concerns. If you want it bad enough, believe me, you'll sit for it. The picture you provided looks like its just ALOT OF BLACK. Which, because of the nature of having to "pack" the color in there, can be legitimately more painful, then lets say, if you were getting a black and grey shaded piece in the same area. Don't worry about how bad it will hurt, if you want it, you'll sit for it.

Here's what you should do: Make an appointment. Don't just go be a "walk-in" for something like your ribs, unless you are (and even if you are) heavily tattooed, there is a certain amount of mental preparation required for what people fail to recogonize is a PROCEDURE.

The day/night before your appointment, make sure you rest. Stock up on plenty of your vitamins, eat well, don't drink or engage in drug use and get a good nights sleep! If you're having a stressful day, it might be in your best interest to reschedule your apointment. I cannot tell you the countless times I have seen customers come in all stressed out from a days work or whatnot who go to sit for a tattoo and simply cannot take it. Mind you, these are customers whom I've watched sit for HOURS on a good day.

If you are a woman, (as I am as well) I HIGHLY reccomend not getting tattooed a week before/during/after your period. I'm telling you, it simply hurts more. Serotonin, the chemical in your brain that deals with things like emotion/hunger/etc also deals with PAIN. During your mentrual cycle, your hormones are all out of whack, affecting neurotransmitters in your brain such as, serotonin. I'm telling you, it just hurts more.

Hope that helped, and good luck on your tattoo!

Having trouble thinking of a tattoo that represents moving away from home that's feminine. Any ideas?

Q. I'm going to get a tattoo for my 18th b-day, possibly a small one behind my ear and I want it to be a feminine symbol of leaving home to go to college, setting free, and becoming an independent woman. I'm having a really hard time finding what's right. The only possibilities so far have been some kind of bird like a finch, or a feather of some kind. Please Help!

A. Tattoos are not feminine. Have you ever seen an older woman with an old tattoo? They look like massive bruises.

What is a good place for a last name tattoo on women?

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)

what are your ideas on me having this tattoo?

Q. I want a quote on my tattoo "let all that you do be done in love" , but next or above it I want an image of a woman with a bare back holding up her hair with her hands and a tattoo on the same place as mine. So I will have a tattoo of my tattoed self , means the tattoo was also done with love. What do you think?

A. It's a good idea, but it wont be a small tattoo. To tattoo a tattoo on a tattoo the image has to be very large or it wont work. It would have to be a full back piece, but it would be a one of a kind tattoo.

In 1950, 7 percent of women dyed their hair. Today, it’s closer to 95 percent or more, depending on geographic location. In the ’60s, easy, affordable hair dye in a box hit store shelves, changing the follicle landscape for good.

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.

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.

How bad is the pain on your shoulder?

Q. OK I am planning all my tattoos out in advance. I want to get a pink daisy for my mom on the front of my shoulder like by the clavicle bone like this LOCATION NOT THIS TATTOO. (People sometimes don't read the whole details, sorry) http://www.uktattoostudios.co.uk/women/butterfly-shoulder-womens-girls-tattoos-tattoo-designs-pictures-gallery3.jpg

not going behind my shoulder just on the front.

A. A piece like that for the most part will not be bad at all. But generally when getting up on your shoulder closer to your neck the pain greatly intensifies. Closer to your should the less amount of pain.

Best advise is to not worry about the pain. It is all tolerable. Just decide on your tattoo and where you think it will best fit.

Original Question

What is your view on women with tattoos?

Q. I work for Raven Tattoo Care, a tattoo aftercare product, and only hear one side of the story, people who have made tattooing their life! Big tattoos on the calves, on the shoulder, the low back - do you think they are pretty and make a girl/woman look more attractive or not? You can guess where I stand on the issue, but I am curious what the general population thinks - does this make you look differently at the person, as if they are lower class/trashy - or do you see it as something beautiful, a work of art, an expression of who the person is? Just interested in opinions.

A. as someone who also works in the business i get to see both opinions, and agree that both are right. There are women out there who are simply trailer trash and have a tramp stamp on their lower back simply to make people look at their ass (in my opinion most v shaped flash tribal down there is simply an arrow). I do see that as an expression of who they are, trashy.

However there are others, myself included, who have a true piece of artwork on their back. The style i have looks like the flowers are airbrushed on and people always want to touch it to see if its actually real or not. Never has anyone called it trashy. i dont see it as a personal expression of anything because i didnt get it to say ive got a tattoo there or even because i like that design more than anything in the world. It was a gift from my mentor and it was more a bonding experience than anything else. i dont think it makes me any different a person than i was before.

Original Question

Was it pretty normal for celtic and briton warriors to have tattoos and piercings?

Q. Out of all the different ethnic tribes of that age, with germanic and slavic people, were the celts most into tattoos and piercings and all of that?
Oh yeah, the Picts did have them eh. Second guy, I think some did. I know I have seen pictures, unromanticized, of Gaels with piercings and stuff.

A. Tattoos and body painting, yes. One of the bog-men from Lindow Moss had some kind of greenish/blue paint on him. Tattooing was probably common (the Romans described it) although the preserved British/Irish remains we've found so far haven't had tattoos--but the copper age man from the Alps, Oetzi, had tattoos,and some Russian prehistoric bodies were covered in very ornate designs. Certainly there's no reason why British tribes wouldn't have had tribal markings too.
Piercings are less likely,with the exception of earrings. A metal piercing would obviously still be in place with an ancient body,and I cannot recall any being found. The nearest I can think of was a bronze age British woman who may have had a small ceramic nose stud or lip plug.Can't say for sure that's what it was, but it was lying somewhere near her face.
I think some of the recent artistic depictions of celts have made them look a bit too much like 'new age traveller' types tbh :ie dreads and stuff braided or rolled into their hair. In fact celtic people were rather proud of their looks--especially the hair, which, rather than having it in some matted clump, they fashioned into ornate creations with lime or imported hairgel (true!). They actually had soap too,and were figure conscious-a fat warrior could be fined!

what do people think about white girls with a chinese goddess tattoo?

Q. I am getting a Chinese goddess on my back, the goddess is based on the book beautiful women, and the imagery is stunning as will my tattoo be, what do most people think about white people (females) getting chinese or Japanese inspired goddess/geisha tattoos? you never see a chinese girl with a Celtic arm band. do you all thin it is sexy, dishonorable, art lover
thanks
no I am not trying to be a harajuku girl or anything like that lol I just happen to love the art in this book and the goddess has great meaning to me

A. I can't answer for what Chinese people would think - but if easterners were getting tattoos inspired by my culture I think I would find it flattering if anything, if it was a good piece of work! I wouldn't think anything less of you for having it, particularly if you have an appreciation for the culture and the art. It's much better than all the teenagers getting (usually incorrect) Kanji symbols just for the hell of it when they have no understanding or particular affinity to the culture their tattoo comes from. I know those kind of tattoos are often the butt of many oriental's jokes, moreso because they almost always have the wrong meaning! At the end of the day, most tattoo styles have their roots in one culture or another, even if we don't realise it. Pin up girl tattoos are traditionally American but I know a lot of British people with them, for example! I go on a tattoo forum and recently there was a guy on there ranting on about how it was so disrespectful and pathetic how non-maori's often had maori tattoos (he was from new zealand) and that how his tattoo was better because it had no meaning it was just a 'popular pattern', until I pointed out that his tattoo was celtic and had it's roots in scotland, wales and ireland, at which point he shut up! Anyway, as long as you're happy with the design and the meaning it holds for you then the opinions of others are totally irrelevant!

Original Question

Who can get a Maori tattoo?

Q. I want to get a Maori tattoo on my shoulder because I love the designs and they seem to have a good meaning from what I've read. Just not sure if its something only certain people are allowed to get because I'm certainly not Maori. Thanks.

A. You can get a Maori tattoo :) My mate got himself a tatt on his calf muscle and he's not Maori either.

Some Maori tattooists use a different style of tamoko for those who are not Maori. It looks Maori but in detail - the designs are slightly different, more contemporary, in contrast with the more traditional designs where a blessing is needed.

Most Maori aim to gain the blessing of their kaumatua (elders of the tribe) before they get their tattoo's done. Also, we must have a or special meanings in which the design of our tamoko represents. Only specific Maori patterns are used in the design to represent either our families, ancestors, culture... We don't just get one because it looks cool and we feel like getting one.

It is sacred to get a Maori facial tattoo however, unless you are fully blessed by the kaumatua and that you deserve to represent a Moko (Facial Tattoo). Only certain Maori woman (especially elderly) are blessed with a Maori moko on their chin.

How can I help my 13 year old daughter remove her NIPPLE piercing?

Q. How can I remove a nipple piercing from my 13 year old daughter?
She got her nipple pierced, lord knows where, and I need to remove it. I really don't care where she got it, I just need to get it out of her. I've tried and when I failed I made her father try to remove it and her brother and even her uncle and a male friend of mine. How can I remove the nipple piercing safely?

A. Take her to a doctor to remove it.

He should take a v shaped "clamp", spread the ring to get the ball out and then it should come right out.

Otherwise, sterilized needle nose pliers will do the trick. Those tension rings can be a ***** to remove.

On a side note: You need to talk to your daughter. What is a thirteen year old doing with what is considered a sexual piercing? Who did this? Did she get it at a piercing party?

You need to open the lines of communication with your child and know where she is and what she is doing, before she comes home with a FTW tattoo on her hand or something.


Edited to add: Those telling this woman to take her daughter to a piercing shop - that's a no go. One of the reasons it is illegal to piece in this area under the age of 18 ANYWHERE is because this is considered a sexual piercing. A piercer and a shop can be sued if they touch her daughter's breast or even see it for child sexual abuse (seriously). No place that does piercings will touch her because they are all aware of this, and the horror stories where people can be sued for this very thing. She needs to take her daughter to the family doctor.

Original Question

Do we have a right to invade other cultures and try to change them if we find them immoral?

Q. Suppose we found another culture that was practicing female genital mutilation. Or one that had established a theocracy and punished people who did not conform to the state religion. Or had a piercing ritual for people of a certain eye color that was enforced by law. Or routinely afforded people of certain races less respect.

Should we try to change their culture? What methods are acceptable - missionaries? Economic pressure and sanctions? Military invasion?

Flip the situation around - suppose a culture powerful enough to influence our own, finds some of our own customs to be immoral. Should they be able to tell us to stop the practice of women piercing their ears for jewelry? That male circumcision is barbaric? That tattoos are immoral? That the use of a death penalty is a crime against humanity? What methods should they be able to use to 'correct' our culture?

What gives one culture the right to invade and override the practices of another?
Uh-oh. I seem to have opened a can of worms.

Just for clarification, I'm not endorsing any point of view on this highly contentious, ongoing philosophical question - certainly not the point of view that a culture can never be wrong. What I'm asking is if we can think of a consistent way to draw that line - and, to keep us honest, I'm asking if our arguments still work if WE'RE the 'atrocious' culture that's being 'corrected' by outside influences.

The particular examples I raise are ones where the line might not be so clear: people are being 'harmed,' but perhaps not physically or not seriously or mostly voluntarily. Genocide, of course, usually demands intervention. Speaking the 'wrong' language doesn't. But how about those issues that are neither obvious atrocities nor completely innocuous?

A. No - the concept of national sovereignty forbids intervention in the affairs of another nation, under the rules of the same UN that gave us 'violence against women', an issue meant to address breast-chopping and such in darkened lands, but extended as a convenient tool for conquest of the West by pseudo-feminism.......

Unless there is a declaration of war, or a UN agreed declaration (see Desert Storm), no nation has any right to unilaterally intervene in the internal affairs of another. You can extend that to missionaries and so forth (ratchets eyebrows.. I know who you mean).. in many Muslim countries intervention by the West is seen as Crusaderism and thus cause for just war against the West...

One reason the excesses of the Sad Sam regime in Irak were let run for so long was that they were 'internal matters' and thus not open to international sanction except by vote of the UN Security Council or unless Sad Sam foolishly declared war on the wrong party and thus invited a response.... same-same Iran at this time.. where hundreds are sent to the wall every week on some trumped-up 'offence against Islam'...

Same-same Libya, a land which Hilarious alone in council wanted to invade, over the advice of generals and international affairs specialists..... guess that made her a 'strong' woman...(glurg) yeah... her guts.. our blood!

So no - we do NOT have the right to invade etc as you say.... not without reservations.

A. You should not steal a tattoo idea from anyone without permission.
But you can be inspired by one (like this one) to have a design of your own.
All you have to do, is bring a picture or pictures of the type of women and the pose and a description of the wings that you would like etc.
You want an angel, with a specific look. That one appealed to you, but there may be others (possibly from Renaissance paintings) that you could draw ideas from.
Tell your artist about this video (and that the image is at the very end).
Take pictures of faces that you like, body types, poses, facial expressions, wings, clothing, hands etc. Anything that you may want part of this and part of that. Write down everything that you want.
Have your artist draw up a custom piece for your approval.

tattoo tipping?

Q. What is the industry standard for tipping a tattoo artist?

A. There isn't one. Tipping everywhere else in the world but America is down to the discretion of the individual to reward poorly paid workers for a service particularly well carried out. In America, however, tipping isn't the choice of the individual as an expression of their gratitude it is expected as a right. I read an article yesterday about a woman in America who had a lip tattoo and wasn't pleased with the results but then went on to say that she paid $80 for it plus the tip! Why would you tip somebody for a job badly done??

A tattooist is not a low-paid person in the service industry. They get paid to do a good job.

In the UK tipping a tattooist isn't common practice and isn't expected. If you're in the States (you don't actually say where you are) pay whatever usual percentage you normally would on anything else.

How do I write the word vegetarian in Elven?

Q. It's a strange and odd request, but I'm looking to get this word (or something close to it) tattooed on me. I've been a vegetarian for 22 years now (my entire life), and a huge fan of Tolken. So, if anyone can help me out, it'd be fantastic.

A. Due to the incompleteness of Tolkien's Elven languages I recommend to use a simple transcription of the English word to Tengwar (one of his scripts).
Here is one possible way to write it:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32039090@N02/8287668894/in/photostream
You can check the letters with:
http://at.mansbjorkman.net/teng_general_english.htm
or http://www.acondia.com/fonts/tengwar/info/english.htm
Please note that I wrote G as J [dʒ], like it is spoken.

In Tolkien's Elven languages my first thought would go to something that might be construed as an insult, depending on how you see yourself. This is due to the difficulty expressing this idea in an incomplete language.

Sindarin (Grey-Elven):
Lassvador (masc.), Lassvadeth (fem.) -> leaf-eater -> lass - leaf + mad- - to eat; here mutated to vad- + -or - male name ending/-eth - female name ending (=woman)
Galasvador/Galasvadeth -> plant-eater -> galas - growth, plant
Galasben -> plant-somebody -> galas + pen - one, somebody; mut. ben
Dictionary: http://www.jrrvf.com/hisweloke/sindar/online/english.html (see A1 and A2)
Grammar: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/sindarin.htm

Quenya (High-Elven):
Laimamatindo (masc.), Laimamatinde (fem.) -> plant-eater -> laima - plant + mat- - to eat + -indo/-inde - "doer" (person connected to the verbal action)
Laimamo (m.), Laimame (f.) -> plant-person -> laima + -mo/-me - person connected to the noun
Dictionaries:

http://www.ambar-eldaron.com/telechargements/quenya-engl-A4.pdf
Grammar: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/quenya.htm

If you come up with any (better) ideas and aren't sure about the grammar or want to see them in Tengwar, or if you have any questions about this, feel free to send me a message.

Is it true that only female prostitutes used to get tattoos?

Q. My grandma (old old old fashioned) told me when she was growing up, only prostitutes got tattoos. Is this true?
She said that's how pimps marked their prostitutes.
Could it be that in certain cultures, this was the case?

A. After researching, some sources indicate that that was indeed the case! But obviously, there's other sources out there and when talking about history, there's always many other sides to an argument.

I found this link, which basically talks about tattoos & women. If you scroll down, you can see that it says this: " America, during the 30s, a psychiatrist and writer by the name of Albert Parry wrote about and spread the idea of deviance in correlation to tattoos. Parry especially shined a negative light on women, who possess tattoos, by giving them the stigma of "abnormal and accessible commodities". He also preached the idea that mostly prostitutes were the ones to get tattoos and he "relished the stereotype of tattooing as a perverse and deviant activity."
This is the link for that info: http://www.indiana.edu/~urbanflk/body_art/patterson1.html

Want even more OLD-school info relating to that? The following link talks about tattoos found on ancient Egyptian women, who were thought to be "dancing girls."

What does this dream about tattoos mean?

Q. I dreamed that my sister & a younger girl that was suppose to be my sister in the dream, came in the house with full arm tattoos. My sister had like a anime samurai woman holding a sword tattooed on her arm. I didn't make out what the other girl had tattooed. I the dream I said "wow, I need to get one", does this mean anything?

A. Hmm. The presence of your sister in the dream probably means you have unresolved issues with her; could also just mean that she has some quality you admire and want to emulate. Tattoos can represent a desire to experience more commitment in your life. Samurais represent loyalty and discipline. A sword represents ambition, competition, etc.

Does your sister have some kind of discipline or committed activity or relationship in her life that you aspire to for yourself? I think the dream means you want to throw yourself into something with your whole heart.

How do women act when they're having a mid-life crisis?

Q. For years I've heard that men have a mid life crisis. I believe women have them too when they get to the point they begin to see aging and that they are not young looking anymore. How do women act/deal with it in general? And yes, I know different people act differently. I'd like to hear some different scenarios.

A. They may start to evaluate their life.
I think this is a time that women are aware that they may be half way through their lives and start to question what may not be working in their lives. Scenario 1-They may quit a job they feel bored in to go back to college to train for the career they really want.

Scenario 2-They may divorce their husbands.


scenario 3- some may get tattoos

scenario 4-start doing voluntary work to give back!!

Some like myself might do absouletely nothing different and be happy in where they are in life.

This question is for women only. Have any women had reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy?

Q. I am facing the choice of reconstruction surgery and have heard good and bad reports about this surgery. I would like to hear from other women or men that have wives who have had this surgery. Please explain your results and any complications.

A. I had reconstruction after I was done with chemo and radiation.
I chose to have a diep flap done, but since my tummy was so small , and my original breasts were so big, I also had to have a saline implant put in. This surgery consists of the plastic surgeon removing the fat and skin and a large blood vessel from your belly button down to you pubic area. They take this flap and attach the blood vessel and then attach the rest. There is a 4-5 day hospital stay after this surgery. You will feel like a truck hit you but it does get better.
Keep in mind that the reconstructed breasts are not going to look exactly like the original ones. Bras and shirts will fit a little different, and you will not have any feeling in the breast.
You can also get implants put in. You will first have to have stretchers put in and then they will insert the implant. This is a personal decision and it's not an easy one to make. I am glad that I did it, it made me feel more complete. After reconstruction you will have to decide if you want a nipple. I have had this surgery, but in most women as with mine it usually shrinks up to nothing. If you want the color tattooed on they can do that also, but that usually fades to nothing.
I did have to have 8 surgeries to have my reconstruction completed. You will leave the hospital with drains in which you have probably had after your mastectomy. It is about 8-10 weeks recovery.
I am pretty happy with the results.
I hope this helps out and doesn't scare you.

What is and isn't attractive on a girl?

Q. Do you rather stick skinny girls, a little weighty, or curvy/round? Do you rather long hair, short hair, or in between? Whichever, do you rather blonde or brown? Are toes and fingers a major factor? Do you have to have coloured eyes, or is brown suitable? Do you like more than just ear piercings? Are tattoo's too repulsive and rebellious? [Add anything else.]

A. Here's the deal...

If met women that were perhaps not very attractive, but they had great personalities that made them seem attractive. Another thing that helps a woman (or girl) be attractive in the eyes of a man is to wear NICE clothes. So many people seem to go out of their way to "dress ugly", as if it were a contest to look like a total dork. There's nothing like a woman in a nice dress, skirt or pant suit, with dress heels and a bit of jewelry to accent her clothing.

My preference is for...

Short hair
Eye Glasses (I think they are sexy)
Skirt suits
Heels
Modest jewelry
Pleasant fragrance
Personable

Hair color and eye color don't matter. Nicely done nails are fine, but I think that the airbushed look is a bit too much (sorta looks like trailer trash).

Turn-offs are...piercings, tattoos, and women that have to always be preoccupied with their electronic gadgets (cell phones or iPods).

Original Question

What are your opinions about the Abomination Theory?

Q. There are several verses in the Bible which are similarly contested - there are however a much smaller number of seemingly clear statements. The most famous of them is probably from Leviticus: "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination."

Seperate verses in the same book forbid a wide range of sexual activities, including having sex with a woman who is having her period do they not? Is this an indication that the passage embodies specific cultural values rather than God's law?

A. Levitical laws from the Bible also say abominations include men who shave, tattoos, eating pork, football players (by touching pigskin), shellfish eaters, and wearing clothes from blended materials.

When it comes to people saying something is wrong based on a certain Biblical quote, it can be helpful to remember a quote from Shakespeare...
"Even the devil can cite scripture for his purpose."

Where to get a tattoo on a female body?

Q. Where is the best place on a body for a woman to put a tattoo without the least amount of worry of it wrinkling with age decades down the road? I heard stomach is the worst but I see some women who have had kids and their stomach tats never changed form.

A. The shoulders / back don't get too wrinkly / saggy. Stay away from the stomach, ribs, hips if you're planning on getting pregnant.

If you saw someone like this with a tattoo what would you think?

Q. Just curious. 200lb female. A little tall but has a good sized belly and some fat on her ribs/thighs/butt blah blah. She has a tattoo under her ribs. Not trashy just a small cute little thing. Would you think its gross for a bigger person to have a tattoo there? Or is the main problem the fact that she would wear a bikini to somewhere like a beach when she is that big?

A. I don't see anything wrong with an overweight woman getting a tattoo on her ribs. I have a tattoo on my ribs and I am overweight.

However, at the same time...I'm around that weight and I would never wear a bikini on the beach. My personal pool? Heck yeah. But at the beach I rather keep my stomach covered as it definitely isn't my strong spot.

And some of you people are jerks. There's no need to hate on people that are overweight. Good for you that you don't struggle with weight problems in life, some of us do. Stop being an douche for the sake of being a douche.

How can i save my tattoos while tanning in a tanning bed?

Q. I have a big colored tattoo where my front ribs are, and ive heard that tanning will fade it out. I spent alot of money on my tattoo and if its going to be on my body for the rest of my life, i want it looking good as long as possible. Advice please, (im aware of the dangers of tanning blah blah okay cool were clear)

A. You could use sunblock or cover it with a towel. Tanning beds WILL fade your ink. I know maybe you think that being "tan" is sexy but seriously reconsider this. Tanning salons are going out of business left and right. For starters, fake tans usually LOOK fake. Secondly it destroys your skin and makes it look like leather when you are old and this is a proven fact. I don't even have to go into the health risk because you probably know already.

I am a man and I have LOTS of tattoos. I love to surf, hike and be outside. BUT being inked is a lifestyle choice and I know that. So I wear a wetsuit, I wear long sleeves and I wear sunblock all the time. I have spent thousands of dollars and I have my bodysuit almost complete. This means I can NEVER use a tanning bed and I have to avoid excess sun forever. That is okay with me. I love my ink and want it to last forever.

As a guy I am going to be honest here. I think overly tanned girls look stupid! It isn't sexy, it isn't cute and it isn't healthy. It also makes you look old and will destroy your ink. People who bake in tanning beds look weird. Especially if a woman has nice ink that is attractive to me. I also like people with their NATURAL skin color! Baking in a tanning bed was hot in 1985. It isn't hot in 2011. There are tons of self tanners on the market if you want to look darker. If you care about your ink STOP with the beds! Good luck!

If i get a tattoo on my rib cage , will it be affected in the future when i become pregnant ?

Q. It will be a quote of about 8 words going diagonally down my rib cage , nothing too big .

When i become pregnant , and get bigg , then small again ,what normally happens ?

A. Any body can be toned back into shape after a pregnancy. I'm sure you've seen imagery out there of women in their 50's that have the bodies of 20 year olds. Haha, as far as tattoos are concerned, depending on *where* you get it on your ribs, you may or may not have problems. (I digress; eventually, a text tattoo will get "old" looking, so you'll need to get it touched up eventually... but that's whether you're pregnant or not).

If your pregnancy does effect it, it would likely stretch the lettering out and make it... "thicker", I guess is the only way I can describe it. Cocoa butter rubbed on your skin on a daily basis will make it easier for the skin to maintain elasticity and it'll help the skin go back to its... "original" pliability after the pregnancy. Of course, you will have to get back to your original weight after having a baby, which for some women, is never an easy task.

I'm trying to say, it doesn't have to turn into an unsightly mess if you don't want it to or if you don't allow it to happen. But you're going to have to work for that result.

What do these tattoos give the impression of me?

Q. I want a tattoo for my 18th b-day. It's my first tattoo and I want it to look cool, but at the same time I don't want people thinking the wrong impression on me. I don't want people thinking my tattoo looks douchy or makes me look like a conspiracy theorist. I want women to look at me and think that I am hot.

A. 2nd one. But to be honest, i kind of dig guys without being all tatted up. Just as long as you have a good sense of humour, nice personality and the way a guy would treat me is more than enough. Being hot is just another bonus. Good luck. :)

Q. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/27866091417682429/

I was thinking of getting this quote on my front shoulder with a cute heart and I wanted to know what you all thought about that idea

A. Cornier than sweetcorn. If you have a 'favourite emotion', live it. Don't get it annotated on your body.
A discreet symbol is the most attractive tattoo for a woman. More powerful and original too.

What do you think of half-sleeve tattoos on women?

Q. I really like them and I'm even considering getting one but I am curious what the general public thinks of women with them? Large tattoos, at least where I live, are typically a male thing.

Tattoos on women should be illegal.
If you get even one tattoo you may as well say goodbye to your femininity and class.
Not to mention they look gross when you get old.

What is a good place for a last name tattoo on women?

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)

Who can get a Maori tattoo?

Q. I want to get a Maori tattoo on my shoulder because I love the designs and they seem to have a good meaning from what I've read. Just not sure if its something only certain people are allowed to get because I'm certainly not Maori. Thanks.

A. You can get a Maori tattoo :) My mate got himself a tatt on his calf muscle and he's not Maori either.

Some Maori tattooists use a different style of tamoko for those who are not Maori. It looks Maori but in detail - the designs are slightly different, more contemporary, in contrast with the more traditional designs where a blessing is needed.

Most Maori aim to gain the blessing of their kaumatua (elders of the tribe) before they get their tattoo's done. Also, we must have a or special meanings in which the design of our tamoko represents. Only specific Maori patterns are used in the design to represent either our families, ancestors, culture... We don't just get one because it looks cool and we feel like getting one.

It is sacred to get a Maori facial tattoo however, unless you are fully blessed by the kaumatua and that you deserve to represent a Moko (Facial Tattoo). Only certain Maori woman (especially elderly) are blessed with a Maori moko on their chin.

How do I write the word vegetarian in Elven?

Q. It's a strange and odd request, but I'm looking to get this word (or something close to it) tattooed on me. I've been a vegetarian for 22 years now (my entire life), and a huge fan of Tolken. So, if anyone can help me out, it'd be fantastic.

A. Due to the incompleteness of Tolkien's Elven languages I recommend to use a simple transcription of the English word to Tengwar (one of his scripts).
Here is one possible way to write it:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32039090@N02/8287668894/in/photostream
You can check the letters with:
http://at.mansbjorkman.net/teng_general_english.htm
or http://www.acondia.com/fonts/tengwar/info/english.htm
Please note that I wrote G as J [dʒ], like it is spoken.

In Tolkien's Elven languages my first thought would go to something that might be construed as an insult, depending on how you see yourself. This is due to the difficulty expressing this idea in an incomplete language.

Sindarin (Grey-Elven):
Lassvador (masc.), Lassvadeth (fem.) -> leaf-eater -> lass - leaf + mad- - to eat; here mutated to vad- + -or - male name ending/-eth - female name ending (=woman)
Galasvador/Galasvadeth -> plant-eater -> galas - growth, plant
Galasben -> plant-somebody -> galas + pen - one, somebody; mut. ben
Dictionary: http://www.jrrvf.com/hisweloke/sindar/online/english.html (see A1 and A2)
Grammar: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/sindarin.htm

Quenya (High-Elven):
Laimamatindo (masc.), Laimamatinde (fem.) -> plant-eater -> laima - plant + mat- - to eat + -indo/-inde - "doer" (person connected to the verbal action)
Laimamo (m.), Laimame (f.) -> plant-person -> laima + -mo/-me - person connected to the noun
Dictionaries:

http://www.ambar-eldaron.com/telechargements/quenya-engl-A4.pdf
Grammar: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/quenya.htm

If you come up with any (better) ideas and aren't sure about the grammar or want to see them in Tengwar, or if you have any questions about this, feel free to send me a message.

Original Question

What does the Bible say about gay marriage?

Q. Yes, I do understand that all Christians think gay marriage is wrong.
And that God made man and woman in the beginning but what exactly does the Bible say?
I mean, it's very hard to believe that God would create people and not allow them to be happy. I'm sure he wants everyone to be happy.

A. Nothing

Christianity attracts a small contingency (whom everyone should ignore) of nasty people who simply use the religion to justify expressing hatred towards others when in fact the essence of christianity encourages/demands tolerance, love and respect.

Jesus says nothing about same-sex behavior. The Jewish prophets are silent about homosexuality. Only six or seven of the Bible’s ONE MILLION VERSES refer to same-sex behavior in any way — and none of these verses refer to homosexual orientation as it’s understood today.

Jesus and five Old Testament prophets all speak of the sins that led to the destruction of Sodom — and not one of them mentions homosexuality.

Listen to what Ezekiel 16:48-49 tell us: “This is the sin of Sodom; she and her suburbs had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not help or encourage the poor and needy.”

It was common for soldiers, thieves, and bullies to rape a fallen enemy, asserting their victory by dehumanizing and demeaning the vanquished. This act of raping an enemy is about power and revenge, not about homosexuality or homosexual orientation.

Leviticus is a holiness code written 3,000 years ago. This code includes many of other outdated sexual laws (like stoning adulterers and brides who are not virgins, and executing a married couple for having sex during the woman’s period), and a lot more. It also includes prohibitions against round haircuts, tattoos, working on the Sabbath, wearing garments of mixed fabrics, eating pork or shellfish, getting your fortune told, and even playing with the skin of a pig. (There goes football!)

So what’s a holiness code? It’s a list of behaviors that people of faith find offensive in a certain place and time. In this case, the code was written for priests only, and its primary intent was to set the priests of Israel over and against priests of other cultures.

What about this word abomination that comes up in both passages? In Hebrew, “abominations” (TO’EBAH) are behaviors that people in a certain time and place consider tasteless or offensive. To the Jews an abomination was not a law, not something evil like rape or murder forbidden by the Ten Commandments.
Jesus and Paul both said the holiness code in Leviticus does not pertain to Christian believers

Paul sees women having sex with women and men having sex with men, and he condemns that practice. But let’s go back 2,000 years and try to understand why.

Paul is writing this letter to Rome after his missionary tour of the Mediterranean. On his journey, Paul had seen great temples built to honor Aphrodite, Diana, and other fertility gods instead of the one true God the apostle honors. Apparently, these priests and priestesses engaged in some odd sexual behaviors — including castrating themselves, carrying on drunken sexual orgies, and even having sex with young temple prostitutes (male and female).

'The Bible is clear that sexuality is a gift from God. Our 'Creator' celebrates our passion. But the Bible is also clear that when passion gets control of our lives, we’re in TROUBLE"

As Rev. Dr. Louis B. Smedes, a distinguished Christian author and ethicist, explains: “The homosexuals that I know [have not] given up heterosexual passions for homosexual lusts. ... They did not change from one orientation to another; they just discovered that they were homosexual. It would be unnatural for most homosexuals to have heterosexual sex.”

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.

How are tattoos viewed in South Korea?

Q. I'm from the states, but am stationed here in Korea on a military base. Yesterday I spent the day out in Seoul. It was hot, so I wore shorts, exposing two large tattoos that I have on my thigh and my calf. I did not notice anyone else with tattoos at all, which made me wonder if Koreans have negative opinions of tattoos. Do they? Is it worse if you're a female with tattoos, or do they think it's ok because I'm a foreigner?

A. Older Koreans see tattoos as a sign of being in the Korean mafia.

Younger Koreans (20s) see tattoos as cool.

If you're foreign you get a pass generally, although it's a bit uncommon to see women with large tattoos here.

Original Question

What are the native girls in Hawaii like? Do they like white guys?

Q. There is a good possibility I will be stationed in Hawaii with the Army. I definitely look east-coast American ben affleck type. Will I stick out like a sore thumb there? I know Hawaii is a state, but the native islanders aren't caucasian. Are the girls there pretty? Honestly. And do they like white guys?

I know the pussycat dolls singer is from Hawaii and she's gorgeous. If she is any indication of what Hawaiian girls like, I'm quite pleased.

A. When topics like this come up most people here will try and sugar coat their responses. This is the truth, like it or hate it: Many, not all, locals are prejudice towards mainlanders, ESPECIALLY people in the military. It's mostly due to ignorance, like all racists, but beware that you most likely will face some sort of racism here. If you go out to the clubs and try to pick up on true local chicks (they're called local not "native") then be ready to fight a local dude or two or three. Many local men here have a "tough guy" complex and nothing pisses them off more than a fresh-off-the-boat mainlander showing up and trying to pick up on "their" girls. And if you're a) white and b) in the military, then you're just about everything a racist local hates. Again, not all locals are like this. There are many, many nice and intelligent locals that respect the military (like most Americans) and have no problem with mainlanders coming here to live. The type of guy that'll give you trouble is pretty easy to spot - usually ghetto-thuggish looking, bald head, thick-ass gold chain around their neck, usually pretty big and built, drives some kind of suped up truck with loud mufflers, and has tons of tattoos. When you see a guy wearing a shirt that says "go home haole", or "I grew here you flew here", then you've found a guy that hates you cause you're a white mainlander.

On to local girls. There are many, many different types here. The actual number of "islander" type girls - island girls with Hawaiian blood, or from Tonga, Samoa, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, etc. - are actually pretty low. You'll see them around but every girl isn't a true "islander" like what you may be thinking. The majority of local girls have a mixture of different Asian, and sometimes Caucasian blood in them. You'll find a lot mixed with Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Samoan, Caucasian, etc. Almost all of them have black hair, some have dark brown, but practically none are blonde. Their body types range from really skinny to enormous, and I'm talking ENORMOUS! I don't care where you're from on the mainland - you've never seen bigger women than what we have here. 5'-3", 250 - 300 lb women are common here. I'm originally from Seattle, and there I might see three or four women that big maybe once a month. Here, depending on where you are, you'll see five to ten a day. Don't believe me? Go to Costco or Walmart on a weekend. Not that I have a problem with it or care or anything, just saying. That's just the culture here, and a lot of them are born that way I guess. Either way it works out for them because they all have either a boyfriend or a husband . . . or a baby daddy.

Now don't get me wrong, I've seen some pretty freakin beautiful local girls, they just aren't everywhere. Most of the girls who move here from the mainland are hot, most of the young tourist girls are hot (they spend weeks getting in shape for their vacation to Hawaii), but only some of the true local chicks, in my opinion, are hot. The hottest local girls can be found on the beaches of Waikiki and in the Kahala and Kailua area (where the rich people live of course).

Local girls seem to be more into local guys, but it's not unusual to see them with white guys. You tend to see more of the Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Filipino mixed girls with them and not so many of the Hawaiian/Tongan/Micronesian/Samoans.

Basically don't come here thinking you've died and gone to heaven because you'll be rudely awakened. That is, of course, unless you're into fat chicks. When I moved here 11 years ago I thought there would be tanned, fit, hot-bodied, bikini clad babes EVERYWHERE. Boy oh boy was I wrong! Everyone talks about how hot southern California and Miami girls are, so you'd think the same would apply to Hawaii, especially Honolulu. Nope, not even close.

By-the-way, you won't really stick out like a sore thumb unless you go somewhere that's full of nothing but locals. If you're just out shopping at the mall or hanging out at the beach you'll be fine. Actually just stick to the more popular beaches and you'll be fine. There are some that locals consider "theirs".

Are the lower back "tramp stamp" tattoos the stupidest most ugly things in the world?

Q. Are those hideously ugly tattoos that so many young ladies are getting on their lower backs today the stupidest thing you have ever seen? Is it proper for women to scar themselves this way and then display the disfigured bodies for the world to see? Should they get the tattoos on their foreheads instead so that their husbands won't have to look at the tattoos during "intimate moments"?

A. I have to agree. The tramp stamps are usually the ugliest of all tattoos. No wonder the "artists" hide them where the women can't see them. They're probably scratch the guy's eyes out if they knew what an ugly tattoo he put on their bodies.

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?

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.

What will you feel or think about a woman with tattoo?

Q. So I'm planning to have a little tattoo on my wrist. A remembrance of my effort for my weight loss.. I love tattoos but I know what people might think of me. What will you think of me if you don't know the reason? Thanks! :)

A. Congrats on the weight loss. I think of tattoos as a way of self expression. Some people think they are trashy but don't listen to them. Don't care about what people think of you, if you love your tattoo that's all that matters.
