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):

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.

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.

Original Question

Why do some people expose their tattoos in the business work environment?

Q. I work in an office environment where people are supposed to look and act �professional.� But every week, one of my co-workers (a woman) wears these short pants that go a little past the knee. Therefore, her legs are exposed. And on her right leg is a tattoo. It�s a medium sized tattoo (not too big, not too small). She�s a quiet person and she seems nice, but I don�t understand why she exposes her tattoo like that at the office. I know some people like tattoos because it represents themselves, but can�t they represent themselves OUTSIDE the office? It looks very unprofessional when people do something like that. Why would they do that?

A. They want people to notice their tattoos.

Yes, it is indeed unprofessional. But this is the way it is in this day and time.

tattoos????

Q. i know that i'm young (13-15) and i can't get a tattoo just yet. but i kind of wanted to get something written on my wrist. how dangerous is that? and how much does a tattoo hurt? and no, please don't compare it to child labor. my mom already said that but i can't exactly relate to that. at all. anyways, and if not on my wrist i would want to get one where my dad wouldn't see. other than my butt or boob?
to tonycast.
what the heck.
i meant that if i said where my dad cant see (he's against tattoos) everyone would say butt or boobs.










pervert.
guys you seriously think i was getting one now???? get real. my mom would murder me. i mean when im 18 (supposed to be a b-day present for me for her since she got my sister one). my mum would be signing and watching over it.

A. As far as the danger goes, the only place that is NOT a good idea is on your head, as there can be a LOT of bleeding. Another bad place: the hands and feet. The skin on these places sheds and regrows so fast that the tattoos fade quickly- but not dangerous. Otherwise, if you talk to a tattoo artist, they will be able to tell you the risks of getting it where.

The pain involved with a tattoo depends on the person, but generally anywhere that it is over bone with no fat or muscle (ie ankle, tailbone, shoulder blade, spine!) really hurts. Also, places where the skin is naturally soft and tender- wrists, forearms, armpit, ankles, inside thighs- all hurt.

I've known girls who have passed out fom getting the "tramp stamp" on their lower back, and also guys who've been reduced to tears when getting inked on their ribs. Other people sit with a smile and read a magazine.

Since you are so young, it is not likely that you will get a licensed tattoo artist to do this for you- and maybe not even with a parents' consent! Many artists are bound by the rules of the parlor they work for. I would not advise going to a "garage artist" or a friend of a friend who happens to have a tattoo gun. This is how AIDS and Hep. C get spread!

My advice is try Henna. It is a strong dye made from plants, and comes from India. It takes a little practice to use it right, but you can get some stellar effects with it. It stays on for 3-6 months, and fades after that. Women in India get their hands and feet decorated in it before their weddings, and it can look just as good (if not better) than real tattoos!
You can order it here, or google for a place in your city on where to get it:
http://www.earthhenna.com/

If you really like it, you can just re-apply it every few months until you are old enough to actually get inked. If you don't like it, you don't have to reapply it! You're happy, Mom's happy!

Hope this was helpful, and Good Luck!

PS~ The only reason anyone mentioned giving blood to your kids: you just can't get inked when you are PREGNANT because of the risk of infection. Before or after you have kids doesn't matter!

Tattoo on my rib cage time and pain level for women?

Q. So I really want a tattoo on my ribs. It will be my first tattoo and I'm kind of nervous. I know what I really want so despite how much people says it hurts I will still end up getting it. What I want to know is personal stories of WOMEN who have gotten their ribs tattooed and how it feels to them. I am a larger girl so I do have body fat... does anyone think that that will help cushion the blow? ha ha I just want to kind of have an idea of what to expect.


just so you know I am planning on getting a tree with a quote from a french philosopher that says out of difficulties grows miracles. that really means a lot to my family life and i thought it was kind of clever tieing in the growing with the tree. How long do you think this will take... all in black and white no color.

A. having body fat will not cushion the blow, it may in fact intensify the pain. As far as the pain level in concerned...it is right up there with the most painful places to get done. Women handle rib pieces 10 times better than men. We are simply built different and we are built to tolerate pain in a different Fashion. Is it going to hurt? Yes! will it hurt bad? Yes! Is it unbearable....NO!

It sucks, its tender and I find the tattoos I have gotten while I am larger weight wise all hurt far worse than when I was thin. If this is something you want, get it. You can handle it!!! Since your getting it in black and grey, it will hurt less because there will be less blending of colors which is the more painful part!

I cant help you with price because I dont know the size you are getting it and the size determines the cost. Your looking to spend a decent amount if the piece will be large...$300-$400 maybe.
