Original Question

I have a homemade tattoo?

Q. Really stupid drunk idea i let somebody do on me. It happened about 4 months ago maybe.
It is on the bone on the inside of my ankle and is a music note.
It was done with black liquid eyeliner and a regular needle i believe.
Really dumb, I know.
I have seen many tattoos like that fade quite a bit, almost gone.
I'm wondering if anyone knows that it possibly will fade.
If so, how long will it take to fade.
If it would fade, eventually I would get it covered up with something small.
But I am only 16, and my parents would be pissed if they found it. It's been a bitch to cover up.
Help?
i dont drink anymore by the way... this was one of many bad decisions... =]

A. Wow live and learn huh?

Well, I know this woman who's 40. She has her ex's name tattooed on her inner ankle. Well her ex (husband at the time) cheated on her and due to other circumstances ended up in jail. She was so furious she sat there and scrubbed that tattoo until it bled and kept on after that. it's now just a scar that's skin colored.

I wouldn't recommend that, but it's possible to make a tattoo fade, especially with time. I would wear socks as much as possible. Also, sun will make a tattoo fade. Lemon juice applied to the site everyday might do something?

music tattoo i need some help?

Q. Allright, so I love music. I've been singing since I was eight, which I'm 19 now so it's been a while. I want a tattoo that goes along with it, without just the music notes, but i don't know if i want a microphone or not. I can't draw at all, so that's out of the question. Do any of you have any ideas for what I can do? I thought about just getting "sing your heart out" across my wrist, but if someone had some other words or phrases for me to consider that'd be awesome. I mean, I do have a general idea, I just can't think of anything other than that right now...

A. I have no problem with a microphone, you can do old style and you can even have a hint of something in the reflection. I just saw Cory do one on L.A. Ink that had a microphone reflected in the image of sunglasses. Cool.
You could take this idea, with a women singer silhouette and have it travel up your forearm... maybe on top of a red rose or other flower:

How about a torch singer on a piano (you can have a 30's or 40's look):
http://lancemannion.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/michelle_pfeiffer.jpg
If you have an idea and any and all images that even come remotely close to that idea, your artist can start drawing up a custom piece for you, and work with you.
other ideas:

Original Question

Would it be a bad idea for a bf/gf get matching tattoos at 17?

Q. just in general how do you feel about it?

A. Terrible idea. Tattoos are permanent, and your life will change in ways you can't even imagine at 17.

Things to think about:
1) I'm sorry, but the chances of you staying with the same boyfriend/girlfriend you're with when you're 17 are not very good. If the two of you REALLY want to have matching tattoos, wait a few years first.

2) The body you have at 17 is NOT the same body you will have at 47, let alone 27, or even 20! Your body continues to change throughout your life--you will grow, gain weight, lose weight, fill out, etc., and your skin will stretch to accommodate all of these changes. If you are a woman, you are even more prone to body & weight changes, particularly if you ever become pregnant. Depending on the size and location of your tattoo, it will not look the same in a few years. Are you prepared to have a stretched-out looking tattoo when you're 40?

3) Your tastes will change dramatically as well. Is "Johnny & Sally 4Ever" something you want to be explaining to your grandchildren? (Especially if their Grandpa's name is Robert?)

4) You will need to get a job and be an adult someday. Is the tattoo you get now something that can be covered with clothing or make-up? Many companies will not hire employees with visible tattoos, and there are a number of fields (from modeling to Fortune 500) where they can hurt you professionally.

5) What do your parents think? At 17, you may still need their permission before a reputable tattoo artist will touch you. (And believe me, you do NOT want someone who isn't a reputable tattoo artist coming near you with a needle!)

I have nothing against tattoos, but I've known plenty of people who had tattoos done in their teens that they regretted as adults (and a few who regretted them almost immediately). One of the best pieces of advice I've heard is to draw your tattoo on with black eyeliner--same design, same place--every day for a full year. If you still like it after a year, get it. If not... well, you're only out the cost of eyeliner, not the tattoo AND laser treatments for its removal.

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.

How long does it take a person to go from a jail to a prison?

Q. I know i have to go to court and from court to jail and then to prison correct? so how long does it take to go from jail to the prison? Also I hear alot about intake will there be an intake at the jail and prison? if so are the intake process any different between the 2?

A. In Texas, figure about 40 days to get from jail to prison. The state has to start paying the county to house you after 45 days, which is something they don't want to do.

If you're ever stayed overnight at a jail, you know what intake is there. It's everything that happens from the time you first walk in the door and someone asks you if you have medical problems to the time you reach your bunk...fingerprints, mug shot, interview, etc.

Intake for prison is a little different. You strip and change out of your jail uniform into a transport uniform, get chained up, and get on the van with any other women going to prison. They take you across state to the intake facility. Intake then takes a couple of weeks, after which you sit around waiting to get transferred to your permanent unit. The whole process takes about a month.

In Texas, the first thing that happens is a strip search and property inventory...you get told what you can keep, what you have to send to relatives, and what gets thrown away. They inspect you head to toe and note all your scars and tattoos. You shower and dress, and go to a place called the "dog pound" (because it has open cells that resemble a giant dog pound). I think it's about 4 women to a cell. From there, it's just like checking into a jail...hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait...except that every time they take you out for something, they return you to your cell when you're done.

During intake, you'll get complete medical and dental exams, various psychological tests, an IQ test, tests to see how much high school stuff you remember, etc. The idea is to see if you need any particular classes and such. Part of this is the Sociology I and Sociology II tests. They are the exact same test...questions about your crime, your family life, you history, how you get along with people. The difference is that during Sociology I, the questions are "straight"...they just ask, and you answer. During Sociology II, they try to push your buttons. Same questions, but they try to stress you out to see how you act under pressure. To pass Sociology II, just give the same answers, and don't lose your cool.

After about a month in intake, you'll go to your assigned unit, where you'll spend most of your time. Near release, they may move you to another facility to do "pre-release classes".

I dont like jewelery at all and i never wear it. What else can i do other than a wedding ring?

Q. I have hated jewelery all my life. Unfortunately its my wierd little quirk as a woman. I am dreading the day i have to get married because i dont know of any other reasonable traditions other than a ring. Any ideas?

A. You can speak with the officiant/priest beforehand, and request the part about the rings be left out, or write your own vows in such a way they do not mention rings. If your really doing traditional, and can't leave out the ring exchange for some reason, buy a cheap band, use it for the ceremony, and you never have to wear it again. I would highly advise against a tattoo. What if your husband passes away before you, and you remarry someday? A tattoo isn't going anywhere. Plus it will fade over time, and just look like an ugly black mark on your finger.

A ring doesn't make you any more married anyways. So long as you know your married, and abide by your vows, a ring is nothing more than a symbol. It doesn't make a happy marriage. My parents 40th anniversary is in July, and my mom has never worn a wedding ring. She doesn't like jewelry, and she doesn't need a ring to know that she is married.

How do I dye my hair blonde/white with 40 volume white out hair dye?? (Manic Panic from hottoppic)?

Q. I have dark brown hair but right now it's dyed like a reddish/brown. I have the kit that I got from hottoppic, and it is 59 mL, 2 fl oz, and then I have the conditioner, 118 mL, 4 fl oz. I don't know how much to use. I want to dye my whole head, and I want it to be really blonde, to where it is almost white where it has like idk blackish roots, but I also have NO idea how to do it.

A. Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. 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.

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

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

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

Where is a good place to put a butterfly tatoo if you are over 40; but look 35?

Q. Any suggestions will do, but honest ones.

A. That's something I can't say, without looking at you. I put one on a woman about your age the other day. She wanted a butterfly with a wasp rear end and stinger, in blue and green, with a tan body. New tattoos on older people ALWAYS look good. They usually get top quality artwork. Sight unseen, the ankle is your best bet. And the only reason I say the ankle, or the back of the neck, sight unseen, is so that the tattoo will fit the area it's being put on well. Above the breast, but not ON the breast is also a sexy spot. Many men find breast tattoos, or 'titoos' as we lovingly call them, are a turn-off for many men that are otherwise comfortable with them being closer to the top of the breast, rather than ON it. It's a common thing with men. Just being honest. And the butterfly is always popular for a reason, it's colorful, insinuates freedom, and there are a million ways to do them. You can do them in an abstract fashion, you can do them as realism, (with bloodlines) so that you can do it like a painting, instead of lining them. Where you put it can best be decided by sticking the stencil in different spots, so you can get an idea. The stencil can be restuck about six times. If you get it on your left hip bone, for example, it should be flying to your left, as if in flight away from you. Also, the eyes naturally follow art from left to right, and then sweep around, counter-clockwise. But, hey, it's your ink. Whatever melts your butter.

Original Question

Agree with God that gays are an abomination?

Q. Agree with God that gays are an abomination?
He has made it clear in the Bible that a man who lies with another man as with a woman is an abomination unto him (it disgusts him). Do you agree?

A. Leviticus, right? Let's do some Bible study.

Leviticus 20:13 and 18:22 - Men should not have sex with men. Well, at least there's nothing about making out with men, or loving men. So I suppose this is only against gay people who have sex. Also, it says nothing about lesbians.

Leviticus 20:9 - If you curse your parents, you get to die. Well, that's a lot of people.

Leviticus 20:10 - If you commit adultery, you get to die.

Leviticus 20:18 - If you have sex with a woman when she's on her period, you both get to be exiled.

Leviticus 21:17 - Don't let "blemished" people near the offerings to God. This includes the blind, the lame, the mutilated, and people with one limb slightly longer than the other.

Leviticus 21:23 - Oh, and they can't come near the altar, either.

Leviticus 11:7 - No more bacon for you.

Leviticus 11:10 - No oysters, or crabs, or lobsters. I think vegetarian is the safest option. You can eat crickets, though (11:22).

Leviticus 11:29-32 - If your pet gecko dies, throw the whole cage out, and don't touch anything the gecko corpse touched. Gotta buy whole new stuff if you want another gecko.

Leviticus 12:2-6 - If a woman has a male child, she's not allowed in church for 33 days. If it's a girl, that's 66. Also, when that's over, she has to have the priest sacrifice a baby sheep and some other stuff.

Leviticus 13:45 - If you have leprosy, you have to act like you're a loony.

Leviticus 19:17 - Don't hate your kin. Yeah, even if they're gay. It says it rather plainly, actually: "You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin." 18 covers "love thy neighbor." Even if they're gay.

Leviticus 19:27-28 - Don't mess with the beard, don't get piercings (doesn't exclude ears, sorry), and don't get tattoos.

Leviticus 19:24 - Love the foreigners. I'm pointing this one out because I quite like it. : )

What were the others again? Oh, right. Judges. Apparently giving a bunch of rapists your virgin daughter is okay in that one.

Addressing Romans 1:26-27... To my knowledge, Paul was not writing God's word. This is Paul's letter, not a direct dictation from God. Paul mentions lesbians when the rest of the Bible does not--where did he get the idea that it was wrong? Certainly not from scripture, or people would be quoting that one, too.

Corinthians: Eh, this is Paul again. So is Timothy. Jude is, well, Jude. In the Bible or not, these are religious letters, not God's word. They're man's word, at best, based on their interpretations of God's teachings.

Based on the above, I'm afraid I give more weight to the New Testament than to the old, and then, to God's word and Jesus's teachings--not interpretations of teachings in letters.

I'd like to end this answer by bringing up Matthew 25:40 - "Just as you did it to one of the least of those who are members of my family, you did it to me." If anything, the Bible teaches that we should not hate, not even the sinners, because we are all sinners. Hating someone, including someone who is gay, is the same as hating ourselves. Treating someone badly, including someone who is gay, is treating the Lord and his teachings with disrespect. You can consider homosexuality, the act, an abomination if you'd like, but do not consider the people anything less than people.

That said, I personally don't consider homosexuality an abomination, same as I don't flinch when I eat bacon. The rules in Leviticus were important for the time--have sex with women so you get children, keep the women clean when they're on their period, have all diseases checked out by the priest... But in today's society, they're outdated. We're overpopulating the earth and killing that with which we were entrusted. What would God say? Sometimes, I wish he'd come down and tell us. Until then, I'll pray and let Him guide me.

Aren't you glad we didn't get into Deuteronomy? :D That one's a lot of fun!
