As tattoos for women, especially in the back area, become more and more popular, is it true that women who have lower back tattoos, cannot have an epidural to assist with delivery of their babies, and what are the dangers associate with back tattoos if any?
Once again this subject has hit the news, and just as in the past, has panicked many women who have a back tattoo and are pregnant.
There is actually very little information available since so few studies have been done. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) are currently conducting some studies about the inks used in tattoos.
According to Mayo Clinic obstetrician and gynecologist Roger Harms, M.D., most pregnant women who have lower back tattoos, can receive epidural,s. except if the tattoo is fresh and covers a large area, in other words, the skin is still healing.There have been very few studies on tattoos for women in the back area in fact there have been very few studies about tattoos in general and there is little conclusive evidence showing an increased risk of infection.
There are only three vertebrae where an epidural can be administered. They are L1, L2, and L3. This is also the area where back tattoos are positioned. Most anesthesiologists will give an epidural block to a pregnant woman with a lower back tattoo, and where possible will choose an area without a tattoo to inject the needle.
Does that mean that some doctors will still refuse to administer an epidural, sadly yes, if they believe that the practice may be detrimental or dangerous to the woman, then they can and will refuse to give an epidural, despite information to the contrary. Many medical practitioners will err on the cautious side rather than risk the health of the woman with the back tattoo.
If you have a back tattoo then it is a good idea to discuss your options with your doctor before the birth of your baby, and if you are planning on getting a tattoo to celebrate the new arrival, why not consider waiting until after the birth, again, discuss it with your doctor.
Pub Med, the Mayo Clinic and BME concluded that there is no proof to substantiate the dangers of tattoos and epidural,s
If having a tattoo is something you really want to do but are worried about the risks to you and your baby then why not try henna, henna has been used by women in the middle east, especially Egypt for thousand and thousands of years, and is believed to bring good luck during pregnancy,and can last up to four weeks. If you do decide to go in this direction, be aware that you do not use black henna. Black henna is a very dangerous substance and should never be used, ever, so stay with the safe and gorgeous colored orange and brown hennas.

Tattoo Designs - Ideas To Consider
Every day thousands of people elect to get a tattoo, but can't decide which design to use. It's a difficult decision unless you know what you want. Not only are there an unlimited number of tattoo designs available, you've got the permanancy factor to overcome. In all likelihood, your new tattoo will be with you for life, so you've got to be certain that your choice of design will be as relevant to you years into the future as it is today.
Tattoos are a highly personal items and can mean so many different things to each person. For example, some people use tattoos to express their personality, some people use them to show their love for another person, while some people see tattoos as art and their body as an empty canvas.
Perhaps the best way to go about finding your perfect tattoo design is to ask the basic question, "Why do I want a tattoo?". Hopefully that should help you to narrow down your options.
The next stage is to look at as many different tattoo styles as possible. Weed out the styles and the types of design that you don't like and see what's left. At present, some of the most popular tattoo designs include;
1) Angel
Angel tattoos are popular with people who want to reflect the religious or spiritual side of their personality. Alternatively, if you would like an angelic design without the religious overtones, why not consider a fairy tattoo?
2) Butterfly
A butterfly tattoo represents grace and freedom. They also symbolize beauty, which makes them popular with women. They're also perfect for people who have never had a tattoo before or those who want a small tattoo.
3) Celtic
These ancient patterns and designs, which are often represented by elaborate knots and crosses are perfect for anyone with Scottish or Irish family connections.
4) Cross
Again, these designs can symbolize religious faith, but they're also commonly used with eternity symbols to show enduring love or friendship. So they're good if you want to get a tattoo with your children's names on it.
5) Flowers
Flower tattoos are a sign of beauty, growth and regeneration. And if you want a bright, vibrant tattoo with plenty of color, flowers will give you an endless number of possibilities.
6) Stars
Star tattoo designs are extremely popular and as such have come to symbolize a different cultural, social and religious meaning for many millions of people. In general, star tattoos represent positivity, dreams and high ambitions.
7) Tribal
Tribal tattoo designs have got a long and diverse history. Over the years different styles and shapes have come to represent many different historical tribes and cultures. So they're great for people who want to show a connection with their past ancestors.
But beyond the actual design that you choose, there are a number of factors that will help to personalise your tattoo.
Some tattoos, mainly the larger designs, such as dragons, angels, birds etc, are much more elaborate and intricate. The attention to detail is amazing and the end result is a highly lifelike piece of artwork. Alternatively, many tattoos, mainly the smaller designs, such as hearts, stars, flowers etc, are much simpler and more like a cartoon character in style. Colorful but with less detail.
Which brings us to the issue of color. The colors chosen for your design play a large part in the overall look and spirit of your tattoo. In general, women tend to select smaller tattoos with bright, vibrant colors. On the other hand, men go for larger designs with more muted color and extra detail to make the design look as lifelike as possible.
If you want to emphasize a side of your life, such as your beliefs or your culture, it's possible to combine traditional tattoo designs with items that reflect these values. For example, your design could incorporate a small cross, tribal lettering or even the colors of your home country's flag.
And finally, if you want the ultimate in personalisation, some people have their tattoo custom designed by an artist to combine several items that represent the various themes of their life. So in effect their tattoo or tattoos tell their life story.

Body piercing
Body piercing has become more and more popular among teens and young adults
Pierced ears have been common for many years. But now, no part of the body seems to be off limits for rings, studs, and bars. Navels, tongues, eyebrows, and nostrils have become popular places for piercings.
Piercing has been around for a long time. It has been used in religious and cultural ceremonies and is common in some cultures around the world. For many of today's American youth, piercings are fashion statements. Like tattoos, daring clothing, and extreme hair styles, piercing may be a badge of identity.
Adults may worry that piercing is unsafe, or just plain wrong. They may view it as a sign of delinquency and rejection of traditional values. While this may be true for some teens, others see body piercing as a form of self-expression.
So, which is it? Is body piercing a passing phase--part of a personal declaration of independence? Or, does it signal an urge to push social limits and to take risks? The answer is different for each teen. Risk-taking can be a growth experience; the key is to take the right kind of risk. This means taking part in activities that build ability, awareness, and character.
What To Say
If a young person wants a piercing or comes home with one, ask why he wants it and how it fits into his self-image and social life. Discussion will be more useful than anger or immediate rejection. You may learn something by listening to your teen's views on the subject and you may get a chance to share your own thoughts.
What To Know
Learn about piercing, including the proper procedures, risks (there's that word again), and safety issues.2 Having the facts will help you provide guidance and make it tougher for a child to dismiss your concerns. If a child gets a body piercing, remember, the industry is not well-regulated. However, there are professional standards for which some piercers are certified. What To Do
Urging caution, keeping an eye on behavior, and enforcing rules can go a long way toward helping your teen make healthy choices. Prevention is about more than stopping problem behavior. Channeling a young person's search for adventure can yield great results. Exposing teens to people, places, and ideas can open them up to a world of opportunity, but that world is different for each teen. For many young people, body piercing is a decision to try something new and may satisfy their appetites for adventure.

Would You Put Motor Oil on Your Skin?
According to a study done by the American Academy of Dermatology, 36 percent of the nation’s young adults (ages 18 to 29) are decorated with at least one tattoo. These results also indicated that 24 percent of the population between the ages of 18 and 50 have been tattooed with the amount of tattooing divided equally between the sexes.
Tattoos are not just for sailors, bikers, or carnival workers anymore. Men and women from all walks of life are appreciating the beautiful art of tattooing. The look of the traditional tattoo parlor has changed. These tattoo parlors have been changed to upscale studios. These studios now follow very strict guidelines concerning sterilization and the age requirements.
Approximately five years ago, Debra Landis’ son came home with a tattoo. After the shock wore off, she set out researching the best way to heal it.
“After my son got his first tattoo, I came up with a formula that would help in the healing process. I just wanted to be sure that his tattoo would heal correctly. At the time, I owned an all natural body care company. I was already familiar with various healing ingredients for skin, but I did further research specifically for healing a new tattoo,” stated Debra Landis, owner and manufacturer of Tat Jam. “His artist was amazed as to how well the tattoos healed and my product sprang from there. The formula has been refined and perfected over the years. I only use the freshest and finest ingredients possible. I stand by my products. They are of the highest quality. I trust in them and believe in them. Personally, I use all of my own products. I would not recommend anything else.”
“Would you put motor oil on your skin? Anything with ‘lube’ or ‘petro’ on the label is the same thing as using motor oil. Tattoo artists are finally taking a second look at the ingredients of the product they put on fresh tattoos,” said Ms. Landis. “Anything with a petroleum derivative gives the skin a temporary feeling of softness because it sits on the skin. In reality, it draws the moisture OUT of your skin. That's why they say people are addicted to their Chapstick. It gives a temporary feeling of softness and then it slides off. You have to keep reapplying the product to continue the feeling of moist (moisturized) lips. I have even heard of an artist recommending hemorrhoid medication—that is way off track! Zinc is found in some of these products. My research had indicated that 1 in every 100 people have a reaction to Zinc. And then there is lanolin. This comes from sheep. All I can say is, “How many people do you know allergic to wool?”
“Getting a tattoo is very traumatic to the skin. You really need to nurture the skin, replenish the cells, and bring it back to health. With proper healing, the color is retained. If the tattoo doesn't heal correctly you will probably have to go back in to get it repaired,” continued Ms. Landis. “We currently sell at the wholesale price. You can find Tat Jam at a retail location, online distributors, and, of course, at various tattoo studios.”
Keep the color and heal the skin. Tat Jam is the best product to heal a new tattoo by nurturing the skin and replenishing the cells. Tat Jam will also help in keeping the color. Only the finest ingredients are used in the manufacture of Tat Jam. If you would like to become a retail distributor or would like more information, visit the Tat Jam website at http://www.tatjam.com

Lower Back Tattoos
Most commonly found on women, lower back tattoos are often reserved for the daintiest of designs. Everything from flowers to hearts and even lettering can be used as lower back tattoos. Popular in part because they are so appealing, lower back tattoos have quickly become a symbol of sexiness and are commonly seen during swimsuit season or on women who wear low rise jeans.
As for popular lower back tattoos, the possibilities are limitless. The rose and/or the lotus flower are among the popular lower back tattoos in the floral design. Hearts are also very popular, as are wing and sun tattoos.

There are many meanings to images, but it is important that individuals select a symbol that means something special to them. Whether it’s a reminder of a special day or time, a hope for the future or the name of a loved one, lower back tattoos are chosen with just as much thought as any other.

Sagittarius Tattoos
In deciding which tattoo to get, many people choose to select an image that represents their astrology sign. Sagittarius is the sign for those who are born between November 22 and December 21, which means that Sagittarius tattoos are popular among those who celebrate a birthday later in the year.
Energetic and active, Sagittarius is a sign that is also attached to those who enjoy traveling and being close to nature. For this reason, Sagittarius tattoos may include images of a favorite vacation spot or some aspect of nature that holds a special place in the wearer's heart. Because they are also curious, Sagittarius are very intelligent and are great thinkers. With this in mind, a scholarly image may also be ideal when selecting a Sagittarius tattoo choice.
Sagittarius tattoos may also be indicative of the sign's colors, which include blue, bronze and beige. The astrology sign itself features an image of half man and half horse. The bottom part is the horse and the upper half is a man. Holding an arrow pointed upward toward the sky, the Sagittarius sign is one that symbolizes man's ability to aim high with his thoughts. As the official symbol for the astrology sign, this is a popular choice for Sagittarius tattoos.
Because Sagittarius tend to aim high with their thoughts, they are optimistic. More likely to see the sunny side of things rather than the bleak, Sagittarius may also choose a tattoo that features a sun or other symbol of bright and happy times. Also spiritual and religious, Sagittarius tattoos often depict an important image of faith and hope.
When choosing a tattoo, most customers choose a symbol or image that represents something about themselves, a place they have traveled, someone that they love or a special memory of a certain time in their lives. Sagittarius have a number of positive characteristics, which include being open-minded, direct, optimistic, adventuresome, well educated, eager, social and charming. Any of these characteristics can be used as the basis for Sagittarius tattoos.
If in doubt about selection, the best way to learn what a tattoo artist is capable of is simply to ask. Most studios have samples available to help each customer to make his/her decision, but it may also be possible to provide your own image and ask the artist if he/she can work with it. Sagittarius tattoos are not unusual and should be available at most tattoo studios. Internet images, pictures from a magazine or simply a hand drawn sketch can all be used as inspiration for Sagittarius tattoos.

As the official symbol for the astrology sign, this is a popular choice for Sagittarius tattoos.
Because Sagittarius tend to aim high with their thoughts, they are optimistic. More likely to see the sunny side of things rather than the bleak, Sagittarius may also choose a tattoo that features a sun or other symbol of bright and happy times. Also spiritual and religious, Sagittarius tattoos often depict an important image of faith and hope.
When choosing a tattoo, most customers choose a symbol or image that represents something about themselves, a place they have traveled, someone that they love or a special memory of a certain time in their lives. Sagittarius have a number of positive characteristics, which include being open-minded, direct, optimistic, adventuresome, well educated, eager, social and charming. Any of these characteristics can be used as the basis for Sagittarius tattoos.
If in doubt about selection, the best way to learn what a tattoo artist is capable of is simply to ask. Most studios have samples available to help each customer to make his/her decision, but it may also be possible to provide your own image and ask the artist if he/she can work with it. Sagittarius tattoos are not unusual and should be available at most tattoo studios. Internet images, pictures from a magazine or simply a hand drawn sketch can all be used as inspiration for Sagittarius tattoos.
