It's been emontional
Miley Cyrus may be a flawed role model for countless teenagers (first as an actress in Disney Channel sitcom "Hannah Montana", now a pop singer), with a famous Dad ( Billy Ray Cyrus is a country music singer ), but she's smart enough to be worth around $ 50 million.
Tattoos have been around in many cultures for thousands of years ( the Spaniards called Visayans "Pintados" / Painted Ones ). There are no official statistics but it's estimated over 1/5 British adults have them, and around a quarter of those later want them removing.
Modern tattoo pigment is usually carbon-based. It's inserted into the skin with one or more needles, often using an electrical machine. The needles should be "single-use", the equipment and the skin to be tattooed must be sterilised, and strict hygiene is needed. Possible risks are:-
* allergic reaction
* infection - local
- hepatitis B / C (hence blood donation not allowed for a year afterwards )
* scarring - local "bumps" (granulomas)
- excessive (keloid)
local swelling / inflammation if MRI ( magnetic resonance imaging) scan required, as some pigments contain trace elements like iron oxide.
Tattoo pigment remains in the skin and doesn't enter the blood stream. It does not cause cancer ( although it may "mask" a pre-existing cancer like a mole ).
Tattoos can be removed surgically ( with / without grafting ), dermabrasion ( "sandpapering" the skin), or laser, not always with good cosmetic results.
It's not known how much the NHS spends on tattoo removal, essentially a cosmetic treatment in most cases. One estimate is 40 million GBP. Primary Care Trust policy is inconsistent on this. However, benefits claimants
may "in exceptional circumstances" use taxpayers' money to pay for tattoo removal if it is "preventing a jobseeker taking up employment" ( www.telegraph.co.uk/news ; search "tattoos", May 9).
Henna tattoos are non-permanent dying or staining of the skin surface, using a paste derived from a plant (Lawsonia Inermis). They are safe, fading in 2-3 weeks, and may only cause an allergic reaction. "Black Henna", which caused the scarring in the 10 year old boy, is a chemical which should not be used.
Just for the record MY Wife is not a tramp and your very offhand with your insults sir
Welcome to the forum and please do not take offenceOriginally Posted by Jonbo
! I'm sorry also that raynaputi and subseastu are offended.
Most forum members are friendly and try to be helpful. There's much expertise and good information here, from members who respect each other, whether or not they have actually met.
A similar proportion of the population probably smoke, abuse alcohol, and eat too much, as have tattoos. But the cost to health, our NHS, and society, for the first three examples of what some might also call "moronic behaviour" far outweighs the tax revenue received. Nobody is perfect and lifestyle choices affect us all. We're each entitled to opinions, but if they're not backed up by facts, treat them as "water off a duck's back"
Thanks for your kind reply I was and still am a bit shocked to see such disrespect for any of our women folk regardless of from which part of the world they hail fromWelcome to the forum and please do not take offence

I remember when wearing slacks was considered unusual but that didnt make those women that did bad
I have often thought about having a traditional intertwining Japanese Koi on the top of my arm and shoulder... but have not done it yet, not sure if i ever will, but I am not offended by the thought.
While some tattoos can look quite 'tatty' and 'common' some can be tasteful and beautiful works of art. Some are worn as badges, some to shock. If done with discrection I see no harm.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Some of the Japanese tattoos do look good. Many years ago I went to the Tattoo Museum in Amsterdam, they have the preserved skins of several Yakuza in there, it might sound a bit sick, but the artwork was spectacular.
As I've said in previous posts, I'm not going to have any myself, but each to their own. Personally, I do think they look better on men than women, and I'm not a big fan of the ones that are just a scrawled name. Many friends of mine have tattoos, some regret them and others dont.
It does seem to be a subject that divides opinion. Rightly or wrongly people are going to judge a person on their physical appearance and first impressions do play a part in business. In my workplace we have very clear rules on tattoos, they must not be visible. It makes me wonder how people with tattoos on their hands, necks, faces and heads get an office type job? I suppose it's ok if you are multi millionaire rock star or run your own business, but it must be hard to get a job if you've got a swastika on your forehead.
Just for the sake of good order read about the imaginary insult here

I did read it and replyed to Admins diconary quote
What part of Promiscuous Or Prostitute is it that you dont find insulting since that is the definition of tramp
I've never found the need to consult a dictionary over a bit of slang
Put it to a live test then, next time your down the pub and some girls walk in with some tattoos try out your slang on them
Tramps,Slags,Parasites, just imagine what a perfect world this would be if we were all like deptworth...have you really got such a big problem with your world ? ?
Perhaps you should be looking closer to home...let him without sin ect ! !
Yes, I can spell, Just can't tpye
Think you've gone a bit OTT with this one Dedworth lad.
I had my first tat done aged 19 of my girlfriends name on my forearm. In hindsight it was pretty stupid as we split in the end, albeit after eleven years. Had it on my arm for twenty years up until last Xmas where instead of getting laser surgery, I got a tribal tattoo over the original one, and what a great job he made of it.
As for tattoo's on women. Some can be crude and ugly, especially on the arms but the smallish discreet tats I don't mind.
Wonder if I can get the top of my head tattooed black.
Girls with tattoos look 'dirty' to me....in a sexy way.
My kids have got one of those hedgehog things with grass seed on its back, that seems to grow quite well....you should give a packet of grass seed a go, you'd look cool with green hairWonder if I can get the top of my head tattooed black.

My Daughter always jokes"Dad why don't you have a Rabbit tattooed on your head"
I say why a Rabbit she says coz it looks like a hare
I think small tattoos you can hide are OK but the trend is to get more and more and they are getting bigger-saw some sights in Blackpool not pretty
Just celebrating my Irish roots at the moment.
You should have a 4 leaf clover / shamrock design shaved into it thenJust celebrating my Irish roots at the moment.
