I’m planning on getting a tattoo on my wrist. It is words, so I want to know if the words should be facing me, so when I look at my wrist they are right side up, or if they should face away from me so when I show other people it is right side up to them. And why.
ive been invited to a formal black tie optional wedding in jan. also its in new jersey. i live in arkansas and i need help because all the weddings ive ever been to were no where near black tie affairs. but as much as what to wear i need to know if i should cover my tattoo on my ankle. its a black scorpion not something i think people want to see especially at a wedding of this caliber. what are ur suggestions?

Yes, this is a rant but I have to get this off of my chest. Stupidity that plagues American society and harms women’s self-esteem and image is body hair. I personally find hair on women to be extremely attractive. It just boggles my mind that just about anything else has been acceptable in our society, including body piercing and tattoos, but body hair on women is seen as freaky and gross. The whole “monkey”, “ape” or “chewbacca” label on hairy women is a classic example of corporate American media brainwashing. By shaving, women are saying “Screw you Nature, you goofed. How dare you ruin my beautiful body with hair, I’ve gotta fix your mess.”
Love or loathe body hair, you can never deny that hair grows on every human being and that’s how its meant to be. Women, does it make sense to spend money and time on creams/waxing and razors that cause irritation in return for stubble to grow back in several hours because the public hates hairy legs/pits/arms and so on? Do you shave because this society conditions you to do so?
Two commonly cited (and highly idiotic) excuses to get rid of hair are hygiene and perceived masculinity. You can remove all your body hair and still stink if you don’t maintain your personal hygiene and grooming. If having hair is unhygienic, why aren’t all women bald on their heads? As for body hair being “masculine” or “manly”, that has never made sense to me either. Body hair isn’t exclusive to men, it grows on women as well. Wouldn’t it make sense that female body hair is “womanly” and “feminine”? If you shave just to please your man, meet social standards and be “normalized”, that’s your loss. I don’t blame men, I blame ignorance, flawed media and a lack of education on the subject that makes us feel bad about something that grows on our natural, healthy bodies.
So the question remains: Why should women be ashamed of their body hair that nature gave them?
I am thinking of getting my ears pierced and i was wondering where the best place to get them done is. i’d like to go to a professional, clean place and not one of those tattoo and body piercing goth ones you would find in Camden. (sorry to sound snobbish) What shops did you go to? London area.
Thanks x
