Will a ribcage tattoo stretch?

Q. I'm considering to get a tattoo for my 18th birthday, its a quote on my ribs just below my bra strap. It will look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/56136274@N03/5213073151/
But a different quote and a little more high up. The only thing i'm concerned about is if it will stretch if i ever have children and also since i go on holidays every year will it fade? This tattoo will be my first one and i know it might sound young to be getting tattoos at 18 but it will remind me of alot of things and it means alot to me. Would appriciate any help, thank you

A. Whenever women get pregnant skin is stretched in so many places. Your body is trying to make room to carry this growing baby for 9 months. So, yes... you more than likely will stretch there during pregnancy. I know one or two lucky people that had tattoos on the torso, had kids, and had them looking normal afterward. But the question really is... are you willing to risk it?
Tattoos do cost a good amount of money, and this is your body. Try finding another place for this tattoo if you're that worried. I recommend it at least.
If you do go on holidays often or are in the sun for even a little bit of the day... you should ALWAYS be putting higher SPF on your tattoos all the time. If not then you're going to find yourself with a faded tattoo and a lot of touch up appointments.

So - find another place or wait until after children. (And you have to remember you gain weight as an adult if you don't take care of yourself... soo..even then maybe not.) and lather up on that spf everywhere!

Enlisting in the USMC and tattoo?

Q. So Ive looked around, but I haven't seen anyone in my situation, which is this:

I am currently 17, and going into my senior year of high school. After high school, I am looking to possibly go into the Marine Corps. I am really thinking about getting a tattoo on my chest of my family name sake in chinese kanji, backed by a dragon. The tattoo would be about 3"x3". However, my recruiter told me that because I have not yet gotten the tattoo, I should not get it until I have gone through boot camp. I have read up on the USMC's tattoo policy, and my tattoo would still fall in lines with it. It did not occur to me at the time to ask why I should wait, or if it would disqualify me for enlistment.

So my question is this:
Would getting a tattoo now, just about a year before I actually go off to boot camp, disqualify me from the Marine Corps? If not, is there a reason I should wait till after boot camp to get my tattoo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A. The Marine tattoo policy has become really restrictive.

Any tattoo you get will require a waiver. Any tattoo. You would have to submit a waiver package that would include a digital photo, a written description from you, what the tattoo depicts and what it means to you. All tattoos are reviewed for: obscenities, drug use depiction, illegal activities, pornography, anti-patriotism... If your tattoo, IN ANY WAY, could be seen as fitting any of these you will be denied enlistment.

Your recruiter is concerned because you are possibly putting your eligibility to enlist into the hands of someone who might see your tattoo differently than you.

You won't be sneaking into bootcamp with a tattoo that hasn't been approved either. The General at Parris Island used to personally come to the initial IST with the approved tattoo waiver to verify the picture matched the actual tattoo. If any recruit showed up with a tattoo and no waiver; that was all bad.


You should save yourself the hassle and possible denial by waiting. While I was recruiting I put 293 young men & women into the Marine Corps, tattoos were always the most iffy waiver to get approved.

Best of luck to you.

Original Question

Do you think tasteful tattoos will be accepted in High Fashion Society anytime soon?

Q. Guys are already modeling with tattoos but women don't seem to be able to get high end work. What's your opinion on the matter? Tyra picked a few girls with piercings and tattoos (one or the other not both) but neither one of them made it very far. I don't see why everyone who likes tattoo culture should be lumped in with the rebellious divas, especially if they have damask, peacock or other feminine designs.
If you hate tattoos don't get on here like an immature broken record and try to degrade people that don't. People with tattoos are just that, PEOPLE with tattoos. In essence tattoos are a less vain approach to fashion than clothing, but they certainly don't make everyone with them the same.

A. There is still a stigma or double standard. Tattoos are not easily shaped into a high fashion photo shoot. If its a Victorian piece then a tattoo would look weird though a really good photographer would make it work and not accept the industry standards. To me certain tattoos in certain places are trashy but if done right by the right artist they can be very beautiful.

what is the sexiest part of the body a woman can get a tattoo?

Q. Sexiest place a woman can have a tasteful tattoo without it being trashy?

A. I think all parts of the body can be sexy when the tattoos are well done. I think poorly done tattoos makes the body look trashy and very unsexy. Look online of photos of well done tattoos versus cheaper tattoos. But I think the ribs and hips are the sexiest spots for tattoos. It is also super sexy for only part of a tattoo to be visible.

What is considered formal wear for a wedding?

Q. I have a wedding I am going to in August and the wedding is at 6pm. My husband and I have never been ones to dress up. We are more of the rocker/punk/goth style: jeans, t-shirt or baby tee, ol' school chucks and maybe a hat with dark make-up for me. Oh yeah, and not to forget the tattoos and piercings....

What is considered formal for going to a wedding and then to a reception at a really nice resturant? I am in dire need for help b/c I am not the type to spend a lot of money on dress clothes when I know I will probably never wear them again?

Also, is is ok for a female to wear pants if it is formal or does it need to be a dress?

Please help!


Thanks in advance!

A. Formal for a women is a formal dress. Try second hand stores as sometimes they have some very nice women's clothing for affordable prices.

As you can see from my photo, formal for a man is a formal suit and tie.

How do I write the word vegetarian in Elven?

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

A. Due to the incompleteness of Tolkien's Elven languages I recommend to use a simple transcription of the English word to Tengwar (one of his scripts).
Here is one possible way to write it:

or http://www.acondia.com/fonts/tengwar/info/english.htm
Please note that I wrote G as J [dʒ], like it is spoken.

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

Sindarin (Grey-Elven):
Lassvador (masc.), Lassvadeth (fem.) -> leaf-eater -> lass - leaf + mad- - to eat; here mutated to vad- + -or - male name ending/-eth - female name ending (=woman)
Galasvador/Galasvadeth -> plant-eater -> galas - growth, plant
Galasben -> plant-somebody -> galas + pen - one, somebody; mut. ben

Grammar: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/sindarin.htm

Quenya (High-Elven):
Laimamatindo (masc.), Laimamatinde (fem.) -> plant-eater -> laima - plant + mat- - to eat + -indo/-inde - "doer" (person connected to the verbal action)

Why would a ghost woman be in my grandmas house, she looks like she wears a old dress sometimes?

Q. She appears in photos, and video tape only. She dresses in a see through dress, she has real long hair. She has left 3-5 finger scratch marks on my uncles neck and my little cousins arm skipping over his tattoo I bought him, Which takes some credibility out of my cousins story.

A. Ghost,I would love it if you could post some photos of what you have captured on film.If I were to venture a guess,it would be someone that lived in the home or on the land at one time.Some times spirits will do this to grab our attention and some need help as far as crossing over.I would try and communicate with this spirit,grab a digital tape recorder and run it and ask some questions,such is there a spirit here,what is your name and why are you here.Play back the tape and see if you find any intelligent responses to the questions that you have asked.This is how paranormal investigators communicate with spirits.If you can possibly post some photos,that would be awesome!

Do tattoo magazines except photos from anyone?

Q. I just did a pin up/ tattoo type photoshoot. I am wondering if it would be weird to send a few 8X10s to tattoo magazines, and ask if they would be interested in using my photo. I've never done this before and just wanted some background info.

A. No. And don't send anything before asking. Not weird, but your work could end up in the trash.
I'd suggest you e mail or write them to ask if they accept photos from readers. Some do, most don't. You also need to write up a contract as to how your photos will be used, as well as a model release for the woman who posed for you.

How can you find young women (18+) would would like to model nude?

Q. I'm trying to put together a photo book and I'm looking for models with a story to tell...I'd like to have an artistic nude picture of them with their story. It can be about anything. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested.

A. It is certainly not "perverted" to take nude photos and I can understand some of your difficulty in finding models.

There are many places that you can find models, however, and it should not be a very big problem or one that cannot be overcome.

The first place to seek nude models is a modeling agency. Look in your local phone book for "modeling agencies." Be prepared to pay a model for her time and nude models will not be inexpensive. Professional models normally charge a premium for nude work.

A second way might be to approach an art teacher at a local college and inquire about life models. You might find someone who would pose for tasteful photos and who might not charge quite as much as a professional photographic model.

A third way might be to advertise in the local paper or on Craig's list, making sure to state that there is no eroticism or pornography involved. If you get any response make it clear that the model is welcomed to bring along any friend either male or female to chaperon the proceedings.

I also suggest meeting the model and the friend away from your chosen photographic place or studio before the shoot to ascertain both your and their safety, trustworthiness, appearance, etc. and to go over the details and what is expected of each participant.

There is a web site which features alternative models such as those with tattoos, body piercings, etc. and it might be worthwhile to contact some of the models there or to advertise there and let them know that you are willing to shoot photos with the dual purpose of producing your book and helping them to get some well produced photos (if you are capable of producing such.)

I forget what the name of the site is, but you might find it by searching the archive here on Yahoo answers as I am sure that I have seen the reference more than once. It might be something like "Black Widow."

Maybe ask the questions "What site is it that features alternative style models (tattoos and piercings) both nude and semi-nude?" I'm sure you'll get a response.

Good luck in your endeavor.
