A. Stu, as a 40-something woman with 2 tattoos(one I have had for 20 years, the other one just a year)...nothing crude and strategically placed (so that they can be covered by most clothing choices)...I say go for it! You've wanted it for a long time, and you deserve it! Enjoy!

Original Question

I'm getting my first tattoo and I need some advice!!?

Q. I have decided finally to get my first tattoo ever. I've thought about it for well over a year and I know I'm ready. I've decided to get a daffodil [or buttercup if you're from the south] in memory of my grandparents. Growing up they always had these beautiful buttercups growing along their driveway and I remember picking them every summer. I miss them greatly and can't wait to get the tattoo.

I'd just like to know basically what the process will be. Also, I'd like to get the tattoo over a small surgical scar on my back.. is that possible to do?

Thanks in advance, and please... give all the information you can!

A. At 40 years old, I have NEVER met anyone who regretted NOT having a tattoo.
I've met hundreds, and read about THOUSANDS who did regret their tattoo.
I was never dumb enough to get inked.
I have always considered a tattoo as being something for the proletariat. If you don't know what that word means, look it up.

Tattoo, the mark of regret. http://www.av1611.org/tattoos/regret.html

Look at any woman over 30 with a tattoo. That's you one day.

How many people do you know regret their tattoos?

Q. and what was there tattoo and wear?

A. Almost all of the people I know who have tattoos regret at least some of them. I have sons who got tattoos on their arms while in the military. They feel that the tattoos no longer reflect who they are. In other words, what was cool at 20 isn't cool at 40.

I also know some young women (three) who got tattoos on their ankles a few years ago and now regret the tattoo that they picked. They're not sorry that they got the tattoo, but wish they'd picked something else.

Original Question

What do men think of women with tattoos?

Q. I am 40 and single. My tattoos are in places where they are concealed & are mostly religious in nature. I just don't understand why its such a thing.

A. This is personal preference. Some tattoos are quite beautiful but I think tattoos in general belong in the category of "less is more." Some people disagree and have large, bold, blatant and inappropriate tattoos that I don't consider attractive. I also find that too many tattoos are boring in design, careless in execution and ultimately lackluster in appearance due to aging (both of the person and the tattoos).

Women only: Do you have tattoo and where is it? What is it of?

Q. I just got one this last summer on my lower back and I am 40. My 17 year old daughter went with me so I had to act like it did not hurt too bad! It actually hurt like hell-but I love it now Mine has the word "IMAGINE" with angel wings highlighted in lavender on each side. Kind of a tribute to someone ery special who has passed.
I didn't ask if you thought they were trashy I asked if you had one-so glad you got your 2 points for answering. Mine is dedicated to my dad who passed from brain cancer 3+ years ago. The song "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me was my inspiration.
I am actually going to let my daughter get one (small) on her foot. She is a dancer so we are looking for a symbol to use.
Thanks for all the answers-it was fun!

A. Lower Back - Butterfly & Fairy on a Big heart with 3 little hearts floating around them like bubbles. 3-4 little bubbles added to make it look dreamy.. It's really pretty cool. Had it done in Vegas by the "famous" Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company, one of Las Vegas’s hottest tattoo parlors I might add.... It's located inside the Palms Casino Resort. Great Place!

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. Overlapping dye onto previously colored hair is what creates dullness and dryness. If you color your hair @ home or salon, let your roots grow out as long as you can stand, so the line of demarcation is easier to spot. Only run color through the lengths for five minutes to refresh the ends. To extend the time between touch-ups, use a gloss and deep -conditioning treatments. They will help smooth cuticles roughed up by daily wear & tear, and the hair will look shinier. ~ Harry Josh, hairstylist of the celebrities.

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

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 36 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <

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

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that don’t contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they don’t, are not being honest. “Big brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,” she explains.

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

Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.
