What are good bible verses about love?

Q. my boyfriend and i have been looking for a good bible verse for a tattoo, that we both can get on our ribs.. anything ideas?

A. Leviticus 19:28 – “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”

yea so the bible sais no marks on your skin and a tattoo is... a mark so if you want to follow the bible to the letter no tattoo

but seriously if you want one here are some good ones

Genesis 29:20
So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days.

Proverbs 5:19
A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Proverbs 15:17
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.

Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

Song of Solomon 1:2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.

Song of Solomon 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his

Song of Solomon 4:10
How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!

Song of Solomon 8:6
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

Song of Solomon 8:7
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Ephesians 5:33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

hope that helped


Where to put temp tattoo for special occasion?
Q. Where is the sexiest place to put a tattoo on a woman's body. Would like to get a temporary tattoo for a special occasion (for my man.) What designs are really sexy? Ideas please -- since it'll be temp, over the top is fine.

A. I would go for somewhere hidden from public view, like low on your hip, or maybe on your chest underneath your bra. As for tattoo ideas, you could go with the traditional rose or butterfly. Or you could do a pin-up girl, but I'd put that on your thigh or ribs for maximum inpact.

Since it's temp, and it sounds like you don't have any real ones, anything will be a shock when he comes across it.

Good luck!

How much important is to learn history?

Q. I totally suck at history. And I want some reasons or motivations to learn history. I'm taking this US history college class and I think I'm going to flunk it. I kind of need to pass the class. Is it worth it? I mean history lovers. Write about your passion in history and why?

Everytime I read something about history my head hurts and start to get dizzy (only at history class). Words such as war, governement, politcs, presidents bore the hell out of me.

Motivate me, and motivate others.

A. Yes, it is definitely worth it. I am passionate about history and I do agree that basic US history is pretty boring because you are basically learning the same information you learned in high school. However, I loved alternative history classes like Women in American History, a two part class that focused on women's issues and history, Material Culture, where I learned about history through objects like clothing, silverware and tombstones- what can the objects of the past tell us? I am passionate about the subject because of these, and many other alternative history classes that I took because I learned history from a new perspective and learned about what I was interested in. Also, the research papers I was required to write for the classes allowed me to focus on such neat topics as using objects like tattoo needles and sea chests to explain how the average seaman lived on a whaling vessel between 1820-1840 and how Queen Victoria contributed to Victorian mourning practices.
It is very important to learn about our country's history so that you can know how the past affects the present. I would suggest that you find a history class that interests you. There are so many types of history classes available- ancient, women's, military, gender studies, film (I took a class on Oliver Stone and his version of the Cold War- I got to watch movies in class and learn about the Cold War!), material, ethnic history like African-American, era-specific (Colonial, Revolutionary War, Victorian), geographic (French, Mexican, etc.), social (LGBT, Vietnam War-era counterculture), etc.
Don't let a boring US history class ruin history for you- explore your options (as well as your College's/University's course catalog) before you give up the subject. Read books about the history of unconventional subjects- I just finished a history of the New World told through stories about ten different rum drinks!


What do they say about women that have dragon tattoos?
Q. I have a Dragon tattoo and someone came up to me and said you know what they said about women that have dragon tattoos and I honestly don't know what do they say?

A. yes people say ignorant ,stupid inane remarks about women with the dragon artwork. it is just pure simple jealousy. women were the first to be tattooed , ancient greeks used the dragon . chinese ladies dragon different form. egyptians were full bodied art work . ignore the idiotic bigots. history has proven there ignorance and bigotry. pure simple jealousy. pathetic narrow minded morons. they have no life but gossip. forget them. you are the one with class . take care

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.


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 :/

How do I stop eyeing hot women?

Q. I have this habit of staring at a gorgeous woman when she enters a room where my neck would almost break. Yesterday I was in dance class and I kept staring at this girl's american eagle tattoo on her leg. She was right next to me so it was probably creepy. But It was hot! My dance partner was obviously not flattered by it.

How do I keep myself from getting distracted?

A. Realize that fantasy is very different from reality. If you knew who she really was, you'll see beyond appearance.


Would a tattoo on the wrist be detrimental to ones career?
Q. I've been wanting a (non-offensive) tattoo on my wrist for the longest time. It would either be totally around the wrist, or on the underside of it.

However, I am curious if others think it will be detrimental to my career. I work with computers currently, but plan on going to school to pursue a career as a veterinarian. My idea is that, when absolutely needed, the wrist tattoo can be covered with a watch, bracelet, or long sleeves.

What do you think?

A. I have done my share of hiring over the years. I won't hire anyone, man or woman, that has a tattoo..unless they show on their resume that they were in the military and the tats in questions shows their affiliation to their military service (ie: anchors and daggers on sailers, or an eagle and globe on a Marine). All others with trendy tats are thanked for their time and are not offered jobs. Period.

Tattooed women, Do you have any tattoos on your ankle/leg? If not then why? Is a sleeve better on arm or leg?

Q. This made me curious ever since I read someone else's similar questions. I have tattoos on each side of my ankle and just assumed that it never looked bad or bothered anyone, since I've gotten all compliments. I never understood though why people are saying that tattoos on the leg only look right on "certain" women who know how to pull off that look. What does that mean? I like the way a leg sleeve looks (a small one) + it can easily be concealed when needed. Also, why would anyone think it looks too masculine for a women to tattoo her leg.- Most guys I see have their arms & back, not their legs!
Thanks!

A. I have a tattoo on my ankle. It doesn't quite go all the way around and I do plan on finishing it, as well as getting one on my other ankle. For me, I would get my legs covered before my arms. It's easier to cover if you need to do so. I wear jeans most of the year anyway, so it would be less likely to fade.

To each their own. Put your tattoos where you want them, not where other people think they should be.


if i get a tattoo on the side of my ribs will it get stretched out when i get pregnant?
Q. i want a tattoo on my side where my ribs are, like where my arm falls when it's straight down by my side. is that a safe enough area, or will it stretch a little when i get pregnant?

A. It might just a bit. Depends on weather or not you're prone to gain a bunch of weight when you get pregnant. Ask your mother if she got real big during her pregnancy. Are you planning on getting pregnant soon? If so, then just wait the 9 months then get the tattoo. If you're just thinking about it for the future, then don't worry too much about it. If you make a conscious effort not to gain too much weight during pregnancy (now I'm not saying starve yourself and unborn child-gain the appropriate amount, but don't over due it like some women do when they use pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything and everything and then the weight is hard to come off after wards.) Like I was saying, if you just make sure not to go overboard with the weight gaining during pregnancy and do your best to tighten up after the baby comes, then yes I think you should be fine, ribs are one of the last places to accumulate weight...I'd be more worried about the tummy area. Especially if you turn out to be one of those women who gain it all in their belly and stay tiny everywhere else (those lucky
b!tc*es!) haha. Best of luck...

A new style of advertsing has started in Japan?

Q. Women would make available exposed parts of body ( Like back, legs ) for advertisers at a price. Advertising agencies would put stickers, tags etc over there at a price.

What do you think about this "innovative" fashion trend.

A. More materially rewarding than tattoos.
I would like to be the auditor for those kind of ads!!


If a woman has tattoos in Japan, is it looked down upon?
Q. I'm half Japanese, and this year I plan on getting several tattoos and hopefully a sleeve done. I'm going to be visiting Japan with my mom for the first time in 10 years and I just want to know if I will be looked down upon?

A. Not really. But if you have several visible tattoos, some old people might find you bothering especially if you visit rural towns and cities. If you stay in Tokyo, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Alot of young people now are sporting tattoos and associating it with art. Although the yakuza stigma might be very hard to avoid.
I'm a Japanese woman too and I have 1 star tattoo on my wrist.

What restaurant has more of a Christian atmosphere?

Q. Apple Bee's, T.G.I.F's, Olive Garden or Red Lobster.

I am taking my Bible study group to one of those restaurants listed next Wednesday, and I want to minimize the chance that anything satanic or atheistic happens when we are enjoying our fellowship. I also want to avoid being served by young men with earrings or anyone with tattoos or young women showing their inappropriate cleavage. Please tell me which establishment is the most appropriate for good Christian folks.

A. I'm a Christian and don't necessarily like going to places where alcohol is served. With that being said unless you cook dinner for your friends at home there is a chance no matter where you go you are going to run into what you mentioned above. Jesus met with all types and you should show your waiter by example that your group is different. Apple Bee's and Olive Garden (and I've never been to the other 2) serve alcohol. To me that should signal a red flag right away for a Bible group. There are several places in my town that don't serve alcohol and that is where I would go. I think of this one time we were out and about and the waitress was terrible. We left her a nice tip anyway and a track with the plan of salvation. It is all in how you approach people. I mean just seems a duh not to go to one of the places that serves alcohol unless you agree with it.


Will having a tattoo ruin my chances of getting employed in the music business?
Q. I'm going to school for Advertising/Public Relations, and I have full intentions of taking this into the music industry. I know a lot of people who work in this business have tattoos, but as a young woman just getting started would a visible tattoo hurt my chances of employment?
The tattoo I want to get would be on the inside of my right wrist, and its only one word.
Thanks!

A. I have my tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. I figured it would probably be better on the left than on the right because it would be easier to hide/cover up on my left wrist.

In all honesty, I don't like it'll matter... a lot of employers in all fields are realizing that body modification is becoming more common by the day and they're starting to look past the appearance to the work you'll do. Then again your position may affect how they view it.

Wrist tattoos are easier to cover with bracelets or a watch... especially if the word isn't huge.

What is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo about?

Q. So I've been watching the trailer for it and I'm really interested in it now. But it's looks really confusing reminds me of the movie Inception. I plan on going to see it when it comes out (December 21, 2011). But I want to know who is this girl with the tattoo, does she have some type of power or something? What does she do?

A. December 2002. Mikael Blomkvist, publisher of the Swedish political magazine Millennium, loses a libel case involving allegations about billionaire industrialist Hans-Erik Wennerström. He is sentenced to three months in prison, and ordered to pay hefty damages and costs. Soon afterwards, he is invited to meet Henrik Vanger, the retired CEO of the Vanger Corporation, unaware that he had commissioned an investigation into Blomkvist's personal and professional history. This was carried out by Lisbeth Salander, a surveillance agent with Milton Security.
Blomkvist is promised considerable financial reward and solid evidence against Wennerström, in exchange for writing the Vanger family history. Vanger believes that his greatneice, Harriet, was murdered by a member of the family 36 years earlier. Blomkvist moves to the Vanger estate and becomes immersed in the history of Harriet's disappearance.
Salander, who was ruled legally incompetent as a child, is under the care of legal guardian Holger Palmgren, but he has a stroke. Her new guardian, Nils Bjurman, is a sadist who uses his position to sexually abuse her in return for access to her own money. After he rapes her, Salander takes her revenge by torturing him and threatening to ruin him unless he gives her full control of her finances.
Blomkvist discovers Salander has hacked into his computer, and persuades her to assist him with researching Harriet's disappearance. Together they uncover decades of buried evidence, and they begin to suspect that they are on the trail of a serial killer. They have sexual intercourse, but the antisocial Salander keeps Blomkvist at a distance emotionally, refusing to give herself fully.
Blomkvist discovers that the killer is Martin Vanger, who tells him that his father initiated him when he was a teenager. He admits to murdering dozens of women, but denies killing his sister. Martin takes Blomkvist prisoner and nearly kills him, only for Salander to arrive just in time to save him. Martin is killed in a car accident while escaping Salander's pursuit. Salander's hacker acquaintance, Plague, sets up a phone tap on Anita Vanger's home in London. This proves that Harriet is alive, and located in Australia. Blomkvist flies over alone to find Harriet, because Salander's mother has just died. Harriet tells Blomkvist that her father and brother sexually abused her for years, and that she went into hiding because she killed her father. With Martin dead, she returns to Sweden, where she reunites with her great-uncle, who makes plans for her to take the position of CEO of the Vanger Corporation. Blomkvist accompanies Salander at the funeral.
Blomkvist is furious when he learns that the evidence against Wennerström that Vanger promised him is useless. However Salander has already hacked Wennerström's computer and has discovered that his crimes go far beyond what Blomkvist documented. Using her evidence, Blomkvist prints an exposé and book which ruins Wennerström and catapults Millennium to national prominence. Salander, using her phenomenal skill with computer hacking, succeeds in stealing more than a quarter of a billion dollars from Wennerström's secret bank account. Blomkvist and Salander spend Christmas together in his holiday retreat and their sexual relationship continues. At the end of the year, she goes to Blomkvist's home with her Christmas present for him, but sees him with Berger and flees. She had intended declaring her love for him.
As a post script, Salander continues to monitor Wennerstrom and after six months, anonimously informs a lawyer in Miami of his whereabouts. He is found in Marbella, dead, shot three times in the head.


What color Hair dye or bleach should I buy to dye my hair the color like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thro?
Q. The Dragon Lady, I love her hair, and mine is naturally black, so where could I get they dye, and which would be the best and the safest to use?

A. Twitter her hairstylist and ask what color or brand to use. I don't live with the girl!

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.

Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.
> > > 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.

Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. 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.

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.


People have issues with my tattoo?
Q. So I'm part Maori (on my mothers side) part Ukranian (on my fathers side) and I have a Moko, which is a traditional Maori tattoo. But lately I've been getting a lot of criticism for having one. So I spent most of my childhood in Ukraine and my mother who is from New Zealand made sure that me and my siblings knew all about our Maori culture and heritage. So when I was 17 I had my Moko done and that was fine until I travelled to New Zealand where a Maori woman came up to me and said that it was disrepectful for "Whites" to have a Moko. I was gobsmacked! I couldn't even muster up the words to tell her that I was part Maori and had every right to have this tattoo. And I've had a lot more comments like that since then too.I know I just look like a typical white girl with blonde hair and green eyes but it's a bit upsetting and I'm not entirely sure how to deal with the people that comment these things and it's getting annoying having to explain why a "white chick who's not even from NZ" has a Moko. What do you tell people when they ask about your tattoos? Do you give them the story or just let them think what they want?

A. I think in your case, you should have told them. "I know I may not look Maori, but I promise you, I have Maori blood in my veins just like you do." And then just leave it at that. You shouldn't let people confront you and criticize you for your choices. It's your body, and it's a part of your culture. Who are they to say that you aren't worthy of a tattoo?

As for me, I don't have a tattoo with cultural significance like yours, but it does have personal significance. I don't feel it necessary to tell them why I got it unless they ask. But if they criticized me for it...I would set them straight.

What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?

Q. Either in person or online?

I saw a girl with a huge Hello Kitty tattoo on her chest at Hot Topic today. I thought that was pretty stupid :/ I wonder what she's gonna look like when she's 80 years old...

A. Oh i've seen so many funny, dumb and unnecessary tattoos!

i think the funniest one was when i saw an eldery woman (80-85) , with a tattoo that said 'forever young' with hearts around it, on her arm. it was pretty ironic.

and online i saw a lady who got a website name tattoo on her forehead. she got paid $10,000! and she did it so she could get her kids through school.. haha!

Guys, do you think tattoos on women are attractive or are they a turn off?

Q. Hey guys I have recently been looking for tattoo ideas and on one blog I notice a few negative comments from guys. I currently have 3 tattoos. A butterfly on my upper arm, roses from my hip to my thigh, and a swirly design on my shoulder. I like to think of these as very feminine tattoos. I would just like to know what is your opinion of tattoos on women?

A. There will be guys that love them, and guys that hate them. It is all a matter of personal preference. You can't please everyone all the time, so why try? I love tattoos on women, the more tattoos the better. Before I got my sleeve, I would gawk at and compliment women with visible tattoos. They are the ones that inspired me to decorate my own body. I find I get alot of male attention due to my tattoos. Before my sleeve, I was a plain Jane that never got male attention. After my sleeve, I had something beautiful and unique about me. They are a great conversation piece. Both men and women come up to me and strike up conversations about them. I even inspired my mother in law to get her first tattoo at age 55. I say get as many as you want. Some people buy pretty paintings and hang them in their houses. We buy pretty artwork and put it in our skins. Best of luck to you and happy inking!


Is 2 upper arm tattoos on a woman a bit much?
Q. I have 11 total one on my left upper arm about 9 inches and 1 on my rt forearm about 6 inches I to get another one but feel it may be a bit much. I was thinking other forearm or bicep a scroll and 7-8 inches thoughts?

A. I don't think that it would be too much. Just remember that you do have other skin, and take into account having the tattoo on any part of your body and seriously consider all of your options. That really helps me decide on where to put it. But if you are set on your arm then go right ahead. It is your arm after all, nobody else's.

Where does a tattoo look best on a women?

Q. And what's your opinion on a woman having a tattoo on her wrist?

A. Well That depends.....There is a thin line between Sexy and Trashy! Easier way to distinguish is to imagine yourself in a wedding dress, If you can see your tatts then you'll definitely look unflattering. Also remember that tattoos are forever, think twice before you get one done. What looks sexy today might not look too sexy in 10 years. And in 20 years it might look down right ridiculous!!! I have asked a few of my guy friends and they all seem to like the back and hip best Sooo best of luck!!

Should I get a scorpion tattoo?
Q. So here's the background story. My step father passed away a few years ago and he was obsessed with scorpions for some reason (no he wasnt a scorpio he was a libra) he even had several scorpion tattoos on his body. Ive always wanted a tattoo, I dont have any now. I figure I get a scorpion tattoo like one of his instead of his name or face like many people do. My boyfriend doesnt think its a good idea because he says scorpions arent femenine, what do you think?

A. i actually find that a nice idea. and me personally, i think your boyfriend is wrong. they may not look feminine but the scorpion symbol is a sign of strength in small form for women. for example women are seen as a weaker individual compared to men, but scorpions represent how strong women can be even if they appear weak and small on the outside. as soon as i saw this question i thought of my favorite youtuber and she has a scorpion on her ribs. here is her tattoo collection video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3d23EA-28

if you wind on to 3:00 she gets to the scorpion tattoo and shows a picture. i find it really nice :)

Tattoo Artists: What is considered a quarter sleeve? Where is the line from large tattoo to quarter sleeve?

Q. Just looking for a classification. I think I got a really good deal on what I consider to be a quarter sleeve, however I cannot seem to find anything clearly defining what it is. Half sleeve and full sleeve seem to be pretty self-explanatory. Thanks!

A. A sleeve tattoo of any size by definition wraps all the way around the part of the arm. A large tattoo or a collection of tattoos does not make a sleeve until it wraps all the way around and has background fill so not much if any skin is left peeking through.

Full sleeve - Goes from shoulder to wrist
Half sleeve - Goes from Shoulder to elbow
Quarter sleeve - goes from shoulder to mid bicep or sometimes from wrist up to the middle of the forearm.

It is easier to cover up a quarter sleeve and that is why they are more popular. however these days with how common place tattoos ahve become many people are getting half and full sleeves also. Even women are getting full sleeve tattoo designs. Right now a lot of guys are going for traditional Japanese themes like koi fish, samurai and evil spirits or masks.

For women koi fish are also popular but flowers are pretty common place also.

It is best to decide if you are going to want a full, half or quarter sleeve before working out the design. If you are not sure you can work with the artist on the possibility of leaving the design open to be added on to but typically sleeves that get added on to later don't flow as well. For example a dragon sleeve design might not weave around the arm in the best of ways etc.


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!

What does getting a tattoo feel like?

Q. I wan to get a tattoo when I'm of age, but I'm scared. I have no clue what it feels like, and no friends or family have tattoos. I might get a white ink one at that. And a black one.

A. We write a daily tattoo blog so we have a ton of information that you could use! Don't know what you want for your first tattoo, we wrote a blog post about that:
"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. If not an RIP tattoo, get something small that is noticeable but not something extreme and loud so people won’t make fun of you about it if its a dumb tattoo that was an accident. Getting small tattoos are always a good idea because if you don’t like it, its easier to remove and you it’s not too noticeable. "

Don't know what the pain will be like? Guess what, we wrote multiple articles on that too! We wrote one article called "Do Tattoos Hurt and How Will It Feel? Women Feel Less Pain Then Men?". Being a female is actually a plus because you might feel less pain. The pain will vary by person and how much each person can tolerate it. Also depends on what type of equipment the tattoo artists uses. If they use equipment with fewer needles, then obviously you will feel less pain. Tattoos in areas with softer skin will have more pain then others. Tattoo artists and surveys will show that women tolerate the pain more then men for some reason.
We also attached an image in the blog post that shows the amount of pain each part of the body hurts the most and what hurts the least. So you could look at the image and see what part hurts the least and get a tattoo there!
Read more here: http://tatopia.com/my-first-tattoo/do-tattoos-hurt-and-how-will-it-feel-women-feel-less-pain-then-men/

I will add one more post we added called "Where Should I Put My Tattoo?". You might ask why does it matter where I get the tattoo placed on my body? If you get a tattoo in certain parts of the body it might ruin the tattoo in the long run a few years down the road or it might take longer like 10+ years. It really all depends on where you get it placed on your body and if you take care of it properly. Here is an infograph on a few suggestions on where you should get your tattoo placed on your body. We thought this might be helpful on choosing where you will place your next, or first, tattoo on your body.
We also added an image here that recommends the best place to get your tattoo!
Read more here: http://tatopia.com/my-first-tattoo/where-should-i-put-my-tattoo/

Hopefully this helps you out when your eventually get your first tattoo!

What's the significance of that painting? The one of a farmer with pitch fork and his wife looking at him?

Q. What's it called and what's its significance?
I have the feeling its iconic in some way. If yes than what?

A. American Gothic
by Grant Wood, 1930
Oil on beaverboard
74.3 × 62.4 cm, 29¼ × 24½ in
Art Institute of Chicago

From
http://www.bookrags.com/research/american-gothic-sjpc-01/
This painting of a stern-visaged, tight-lipped, nineteenth-century country couple posed in front of their pristine farmhouse has become not only one of the most reproduced images in American popular culture, it has also virtually become emblematic of the moral fiber and simple virtues for which America is said to stand. Painted by Grant Wood in 1930, American Gothic has been interpreted both as homage to the artist's Midwestern roots and as slyly witty commentary on American "family values." After winning an important prize in 1930, American Gothic quickly became, as Robert Hughes notes, "Along with the Mona Lisa and Whistler's Mother … one of the three paintings that every American knows…. One index of its fame is the number of variations run on it by cartoonists, illustrators, and advertisers…. The couple in front of the house have become preppies, yuppies, hippies, Weathermen, pot growers, Ku Klux Klaners, jocks, operagoers, the Johnsons, the Reagans, the Carters, the Fords, the Nixons, the Clintons, and George Wallace with an elderly black lady." In the visual culture of the millennium, American Gothic remains the most potent and pervasive symbol of America's heartland mythology, as witnessed by its perpetual permeation into all areas of popular culture.

From
http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/American_Gothic
In 1930, Grant Wood, an American painter with European training, noticed a small white house built in Carpenter Gothic architecture in Eldon, Iowa. Wood decided to paint the house along with "the kind of people I fancied should live in that house." He recruited his sister Nan to model the woman, dressing her in a colonial print apron mimicking 19th century Americana. The man is modeled on Wood's dentist, Dr. Byron McKeeby of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Wood entered the painting in a competition at the Art Institute of Chicago. The judges deemed it a "comic valentine," but a museum patron convinced them to award the painting the third medal and $300 cash prize. The patron also convinced the Art Institute to buy the painting, where it remains today. The image soon began to be reproduced in newspapers, first by the Chicago Evening Post and then in New York, Boston, Kansas City, and Indianapolis. However, Wood received a backlash when the image finally appeared in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Iowans were furious at their depiction as "pinched, grim-faced, puritanical Bible-thumpers". One farmwife threatened to bite Wood's ear off. Wood protested that he had not painted a caricature of Iowans but a depiction of Americans.

Art critics who had favorable opinions about the painting, such as Gertrude Stein and Christopher Morley, also assumed the painting was meant to be a satire of rural small-town life. It was thus seen as part of the trend towards increasingly critical depictions of rural America, along the lines of Sherwood Anderson's 1919 Winesburg, Ohio, Sinclair Lewis' 1920 Main Street, and Carl Van Vechten's The Tattooed Countess in literature. However, with the onset of the Great Depression, the painting came to be seen as a depiction of steadfast American pioneer spirit.

A. It's beautiful but tattoos are all about you being true to yourself, so stop asking others about your tattoo. Get your tattoo! Just not in Madison. You need a good custom artist for this piece of fine art. The closest is:

How do I stop eyeing hot women?

Q. I have this habit of staring at a gorgeous woman when she enters a room where my neck would almost break. Yesterday I was in dance class and I kept staring at this girl's american eagle tattoo on her leg. She was right next to me so it was probably creepy. But It was hot! My dance partner was obviously not flattered by it.

How do I keep myself from getting distracted?

A. Realize that fantasy is very different from reality. If you knew who she really was, you'll see beyond appearance.


Would a tattoo on the wrist be detrimental to ones career?
Q. I've been wanting a (non-offensive) tattoo on my wrist for the longest time. It would either be totally around the wrist, or on the underside of it.

However, I am curious if others think it will be detrimental to my career. I work with computers currently, but plan on going to school to pursue a career as a veterinarian. My idea is that, when absolutely needed, the wrist tattoo can be covered with a watch, bracelet, or long sleeves.

What do you think?

A. I have done my share of hiring over the years. I won't hire anyone, man or woman, that has a tattoo..unless they show on their resume that they were in the military and the tats in questions shows their affiliation to their military service (ie: anchors and daggers on sailers, or an eagle and globe on a Marine). All others with trendy tats are thanked for their time and are not offered jobs. Period.

20's is a hard age to find books to read?

Q. I am 26 and love to read. I feel like I hard a hard time finding books that interest me. The young adult books are too young, but the adult books bore me. I really like fantasy! Anyone have the same problem??? Any book recommendations ?

A. If you find the adult books boring, you aren't reading the right books for you.

There are many adult books centered around characters about your age and written by authors about your age.
Try some of these.

Fiction:
Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen
A novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932. When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, grifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.

The Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson Book #1
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.

If you like art, political intrigue and European settings, read Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series.
Like horses-read Dick Francis.
Romance, action Navy seals & women sharpshooters appeal. Try Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series.

Vampires with some humor- MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series is for you.

Have you read the Anne McCaffery Pern books. How about Katherine Kurtz or Robert Jordan, since you're fond of fantasy.

Why are women expected to only have small nonvisible tattoos?
Q. I'm just wondering why men expect women to have small tattoos that can be covered up. I have 4, but I chose to have a black phoenix on the inside of my forearm tattooed as a memorial for my father (he had a blue phoenix on his arm when he died). I later want to add symbols for "Father" tattooed near the bird.

I haven't really gotten any negative feedback from it, but I just noticed that a lot of people on this forum think that women should only have them small, cute in nonvisible locations.

Do guys prefer small cute tattoos like butterflies and flowers on women, or do some prefer that the tattoos have some kind of meaning? I'll never regret mine, but I think it's unfair that my father was covered in tattoos without anyone questioning him, yet some think it's "unusual" for me to have a large tat in a visible spot like my arm. It's a bit of a double standard. Your thoughts? Thanks for answering.

A. Personally I don't see any reason why men and women should be treated differently with regard to tattoos. But I agree with you, there's often a double standard. It also often comes out in the many, many questions which purely ask whether women with tattoos are still attractive, as if a woman's only role in life is to be looked at by men.

I think that very often the people who believe that 'small cute' tattoos are OK on women but larger ones aren't probably just haven't given it all that much thought from this angle. They have a sort of vague idea that tattoos are 'unfeminine', and that women should therefore only get 'cute' tattoos to counteract this, without having really considered the implications of these ideas - the fact that it suggests that a woman's main function is to be attractive, to appeal to other people, to be non-threatening; that she's a visual object rather than a human being with a head full of valid, interesting, unique ideas. Which I think is pretty sad, really.

In some ways I actually find this halfway-house suggestion that teeny-tiny flowers and hearts and butterflies are OK on women, but nothing else is, even more irritating than those people who just don't like tattoos full stop. Although I do like tattoos, I don't expect everyone else to as well. But the whole point of tattoos is that they can express anything you want them to, and to suggest that women should be restricted to certain subjects, sizes and placements when choosing their tattoos in order to 'fit in' is really hypocritical. There's nothing wrong with flowers, butterflies and so on; they can make great tattoos and if someone does want them, that's fine. If that's the tattoo someone truly wants then it's great, in fact. But I suspect that in some cases women are half-heartedly driven to get these kinds of tattoos for fear that if they got anything more individual and personal, people would ask too many questions and look down their noses, and that's such a shame.

So what I would say is, well done you for getting the tattoos you wanted! The more people do that, and show the world why it's important, the less 'cuteness' will be the main issue, and the better off we'll all be.

Hope this helps!

What are some bible verses about being close with your family?

Q. I am a christian girl who is very close to her family and I want to get a meaningful verse tattooed on my rib. I want a verse that is about always sticking together with your family and staying strong.

Please help!
Thanks :)
I mean family like mom, dad, sister, etc.

A. Ezekiel 23:28-35 is about two sisters who are close.

Deuteronomy 22: 28-29 is about how a man can find a woman to marry for just a few pieces of silver.

Edit:

Yes, I know what family means.

Okay, how about Genesis 19:30-36 which is about the love between two daughters and their father.


How to get and hide a tattoo from parents?
Q. Now I don't need people telling me to wait and it's not worth it. I've talked to my parents and they are completely unreasonable about it. My dad has two tattoos and all of my mothers family has multiple tattoos, but they tell me I can't get one. My dad says "women shouldn't have tattoos" and my mother says "do you want to end up like your aunt?" (my aunt has multiple tattoos all over).
The tattoo I want is really special to me. This January my grandmother passed away. In my eighth grade graduation card from her she wrote "The best is yet to come." I want to get that tattooed in her handwriting. Not only is it a reminder of my grandmother, but it is also a physical reminder that things will get better, especially since I have depression.
I really want the tattoo on my wrist so I can see it all the time. I would get it small enough to cover it up with a few bracelets (which I wear multiple bracelets/hair ties on my wrist daily). I really want to get the tattoo, but I don't think I could hide the tattoo if it were on my wrist. I've considered getting it on my ribs, but I want to be able to see it all the time.
Is it worth getting it on my ribs instead? I really don't want to wait; I'm eighteen and can legally do it. Any advice on either hiding it or placement? Thanks

A. Tell your parents exactly what it means to you, and why you want to get it.

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.


Tattoo design ideas to represent my son?
Q. In August I will give birth to my first, a boy, and I had always kinda thought I would get a small set of baby feet to represent it but now I am having second thoughts about it. I want something to represent how blessed and lucky I feel to have him and how no matter what happens throughout his life he will in a sense always be with me. So do you have any tattoo design ideas that would help me achieve this? Thank you so much!

A. This is kind of along the same lines of just general baby feet but a little more personal.
One time, I saw a woman who had tattoos of the footprints that were from the birth certificate on her feet. His left was on her left foot, and right on right. It was like the regular baby feet but cuter because they were actually his footprints.
It was a really neat idea.
I'm sure anything representing your son will be sweet though.

What are some weird perceptions of what is beautiful in cultures around the world?

Q. I'd like to know about dressings and body types (wierd is the keyword) that are considered as beautiful accross the world. I'd love it if links can be provided too. Thanks guys.

A. Ethiopia, the women of the Karo tribe wear scars on their stomachs meant to attract a husband. The scarring process starts in childhood and once finished it means that the woman can get married and have children.

In Mauritania being skinny is definitely not a sign of beauty. Here a beautiful woman is a woman with curves…big curves. Nowadays forbidden, the gavage is in many cases the way of achieving a true, Mauritanian beauty. Through gavage young girls are being force fed in order to fatten them up. A “heavy” lady is more likely to be desirable and get a husband.

In the Middle East beauty is sometimes not connected with what ones sees, but with one does not see, or with what one smells or catches a glimpse of. From the head to toe black covers women wear (called abaya) that sometimes reveal only the eyes, to the dark eye kohl pencil, henna tattoos, oud and coloured fabrics, scarves and jewellery.

The Polynesian women are considered to be beautiful if they wear traditional tattoos on their lips and on their chins.
http://www.pbs.org/skinstories/culture/

In the Far East, in Japan, a century old tradition offers an original beauty recipe treatment: nightingale droppings. These are transformed into a powder, mixed with soap and used as a face wash. The facial is supposed to make the face look young.

What is the name of the western that has a samurai trying to avenge his brother's death?
Q. All I can remember is that there are two samurai in the beginning. And one of them is shot by a group of cowboys. The other samurai then tries to find and kill the group of cowboys. He has another cowboy helping out, and he only has seven days to find the group who killed his brother or he will kill himself.

A. This movie has some of the elements of your description:Plot summary for
Soleil rouge (1971) More at IMDbPro » with Charles Bronson

The story takes place in Arizona, around 1870. Link and Gotch are two ruthless robbers that attack along with their men at the train which carries the ambassador of Japan over to Washington. During the robbery, Gotch takes a very valuable gold sword, which is a gift from the emperor to the president of the U.S. and tries to kill Link, so that he can take all the money for himself. Now Kuroda (the only survivor of the samurais that escorted the ambassador) and Link must leave their differences aside and work together. They both want to find Gotch, but for different reasons: Kuroda wants to take back the sword, and Link wants the stolen money. All this must be done in seven days, or the samurai will kill Link and himself. Written by Chris Makrozahopoulos {makzax@hotmail.com}

Why do virtuous women imitate pirates and pagans by having holes stuck in their ears?

Q. What's next, are tattoos going to be perfectly acceptable?
Piercing a hole in your body for any reason other than surgery was once frowned upon by civilized Christian society.

A. Tattoos already are perfectly acceptable.

Piercings are not symbols of paganism or immorality. If they have any set symbol it's that of submission to a master. So for a woman to wear cross earrings is actually quite virtuous, so long as she understands their meaning and lives out what she preaches with her choice of jewelry.

Edit: "Piercing a hole in your body for any reason other than surgery was once frowned upon by civilized Christian society."

That's because Christians didn't understand the purpose behind it. In the Torah (Pentateuch) God gave instructions for bondservants regarding ear piercing. If after seven years of servitude a servant chose to remain with his master for life he was to have his ear publicly pierced as a symbol of his devotion. Thus in Israel a pierced ear came to represent a loyal servant.


Will a tattoo behind my ear hurt?
Q. So basically I am 19 and I want to get my first tattoo, I want to get 3 paw prints behind my ear, I was wondering how bad it will hurt? I am pretty good with pain as I have 9 piercings. Also what is the average price for tattoos behind the ear? How long do you usually take to get it done? And should I get just black or colour?

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 do you think of young women with tattoos?

Q. What is your opinion on young women (like, 18-30) who have tattoos?
Either a seductive low-back tattoo, or artsy elaborate shoulder blade tattoos, or colourful half to full sleeves?

I've asked this question in the tattoo forum, but now I want to hear from people in the general fashion boards. ;D

A. I think they make women look very unattractive. They are tramp stamps.


Will my tattoos prevent me from finding a steady girlfriend in Korea?
Q. I have one foot completely covered and one half sleeve, shoulder and a full back tattoo. Generally speaking is this too taboo? Will a westerner with all these tattoos, have a hard time finding a steady girlfriend in Korea?

A. Korea's attitude toward tattoos is gradually changing. Tattoos are considered to be markings of an asian mafia membership (such as Yakuza or Chinese Triads). Most Koreans will understand that you are not in a mafia but they still may be reluctant to get too close to you personally because of the cultural attitudes towards tattoos. While you are here, do as much to cover the tattoos as possible. I know this advice sounds harsh, but it will keep you from being ostracized. A Korean girl will need to be slowly eased into the fact that you have tattoos because it will be a major culture shock to her. Hiding your tattoos is also important because they will attract the wrong kind of Korean women, the ones who hop from western guy to western guy seeking material pleasures. There are many attractive western girls here also that are completely okay with tattoos.

Is it hot when women have two tattoos?

Q. I'm am trying to get my sister to not get these tattoos but she really wants it. I think guys don't like tattoos. What do you think?
One is a cross with flowers around it on her rib cage, its about the size of a quarter piece of notebook paper (so like 4in X 5in) and another that says made in canada on the bottom of her foot.

A. It just depends on the woman and the tattoos. I LOVE tattoos, but certain designs can look tacky, especially in the wrong place. The ones you describe sound cute, so I think they would be ok. What matters is if SHE is comfortable with the tattoos, it's her body.


Does anyone know any good tattoo place in LONDON?
Q. Does anyone know any good tattoo place in London.
How much does a tattoo normally cost and how much do they hurt.

A. There are a lot of tattoo studios in Camden Town that I hear are quite good. I can't give you a personal recommendation as I've never used any personally, I'm up in Leicester, but I would go there and take a walk down the main street and pop into the ones down there, get a feel for the place, chat to the artist and ask to see a portfolio of some of their work, and then see where you're drawn to. As for how much they cost and hurt - totally depends. Tattoos can range from £15 to £500 and beyond lol. Totally depends what you want. Studios always have walls of flash (pre-designed tattoos) with a price list. You can take a look at those and get an idea of the price. For custom work, they usually charge by the hour. My artist is about average and charges about £60 an hour, although I imagine the prices will be a bit higher in London. Never be tempted to go to anywhere just because it's cheap, cheap doesn't usually equal good with tattoos. But even if you wanted a tiny design, shops usually have a minimum amount they'll charge, usually between £20-£40, which is the minimum you'd pay even if you hypothetically wanted a tattoo of a little dot. Go and check it out. And the pain depends on your tolerance, the artist, and the placement of the tattoo. I have a really, really low pain tolerance, and the tattoos I've had on my back and rib areas have hurt me a lot, but the fleshier areas have been virtually painless. The most painful areas are your spine, ribs, feet, chest, etc. Least are like, calves, upper arms, bum, stomach (although I don't recommend abdominal tattoos, women's weight fluctuates there over the years and they can become distorted, and if you have children it can really ruin them). But for a small tattoo, even on a painful area it's not so bad, for me the pain is more when he's been going over the same area for hours on end. Little tattoos can take less than half an hour, so that'd be bearable wherever you had it. My advice is not to walk into a studio and pick a piece of flash off the wall and get it done there and then. If you want to use flash, that's your choice, but at least go away and have a good think about it before getting it done. But it's probably better to design something personal to you, you can look for inspiration on the internet and take pictures into your chosen artist who can draw something up for you if you can't draw well yourself. Always take a few weeks to consider the tattoo you want. I've been certain I've wanted something before and then actually changed my mind while waiting, and been glad I waited. Other things I've waited and still been set on, and been able to get more comfortable in the knowledge that this is what I really want. Good luck.

Guys, do you think tattoos on women are attractive or are they a turn off?

Q. Hey guys I have recently been looking for tattoo ideas and on one blog I notice a few negative comments from guys. I currently have 3 tattoos. A butterfly on my upper arm, roses from my hip to my thigh, and a swirly design on my shoulder. I like to think of these as very feminine tattoos. I would just like to know what is your opinion of tattoos on women?

A. There will be guys that love them, and guys that hate them. It is all a matter of personal preference. You can't please everyone all the time, so why try? I love tattoos on women, the more tattoos the better. Before I got my sleeve, I would gawk at and compliment women with visible tattoos. They are the ones that inspired me to decorate my own body. I find I get alot of male attention due to my tattoos. Before my sleeve, I was a plain Jane that never got male attention. After my sleeve, I had something beautiful and unique about me. They are a great conversation piece. Both men and women come up to me and strike up conversations about them. I even inspired my mother in law to get her first tattoo at age 55. I say get as many as you want. Some people buy pretty paintings and hang them in their houses. We buy pretty artwork and put it in our skins. Best of luck to you and happy inking!


Is it still tacky to have a Chinese tattoo symbol even though you're part Chinese?
Q. I'm actually half Chinese and am considering a Chinese symbol tattoo. I'll be the first to admit my tattoo ideas are not the most original

A. I love tattoos, but I've never been fond of symbols from different languages that mean something cheesy like "peace," "BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF" in Arabic or, whatever. Because it doesn't mean anything to you; it's pretentious. Even if you are part Chinese, and you understand the writing, I wouldn't go for it. People make fun of white women for getting them, imagine what they will say to you.

Try for a rose on you hip, or a heart near you collar bone. Reds go nicely with Asian complexions and hair. :)
