I got my tattoo 9 days ago with my friends and my tattoo artist told me to put A & D ointment on it for 2 weeks. My tattoo is flaking off the ink and looks like its fading. The tattoo is all black and looks faded in the spots where it was flaking off. This is my first tattoo and i hate for it to be ruined. What should I do?

So basically im planning to get a tattoo on my birthday next week and i want a chest piece. The tattoo will be from shoulder to shoulder like above my breasts but beneath my collar bone. It will be of a quote, no graphic or anything just words…not too detailed i guess. I know it will hurt because its a tattoo & all, but first off Im worried about it looking too "manly" with it being fully across my chest, and im not sure HOW bad it would hurt because most of the chest pieces ive seen are extremely detailed graphics. but yeah…can i get some input pleassse:)

After giving it much thought I have decided that I want a very detailed tattoo on my arm. However I do not have any experience with tattoos and do not know if any able tattoo artist would be suitable for this or if I have to search for a specific artist.
If you put "quasi-crystal pattern" into google images you can get an idea of the sort of pattern I want.
Is this too unrealistic?
I would also appreciate if anyone could recommend a good tattoo artist in England.
I would be prepared to pay the money a good tattoo takes and also to travel over a distance to find a good artist.
Here’s a link to a more specific picture of what I would like:

I’m 16 and my parents are finally cool with me getting a tattoo. I’ve picked one out that has a ton of religious meaning to me, and I absolutely love it. Now, I’m looking at all the detail and can tell it’s gonna be expensive, can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much this is going to cost me? I know you guys can’t give a 100% perfect price, but an estimate would be wonderful. Also, what are your guy’s opinions on this tattoo? Tell me what you think, thanks!

I love this tattoo and there’s obviously a lot of symbolism going on throughout it, but I’d like to know what it actually means. I know that the ‘body’ of the butterfly seems to be a kanji phrase… Anyone know any specifics?

Here’s the tattoo: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/041003h.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tattoo.about.com/cs/tatart/l/bl041003h.htm&usg=__-UG0nGX5-lb4je93Qs7b9adhdvI=&h=365&w=400&sz=47&hl=en&start=2&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=aIzKzID_gQqitM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkanji%2Bbutterfly%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26ndsp%3D21%26tbs%3Disch:1

Do they have nothing better to do??? Seriously, it gets old when you are trying to ask a question about a tattoo and some idiot comes along and says "tattoos are not attractive" or some other narrow minded BS. Maybe they just want two points? I’m not sure, but I know half the comments said on here wouldn’t ever be said to anyone’s face. So tell me anti-tattoo people why do you post in the tattoo Q&A forum?

I once saw a tattoo where two girls each had half a heart tattooed on their fingers, & when they held hands, it made a whole heart.

What’s that called?

I am planning on getting a tattoo, but the area of my body on which I plan to get it is heavily scarred in places due to a mis-spent youth. I was just wondering: a) is it possible to tattoo over scar tissue? & b) does the scarring adversely affect the look of the tattoo in any way?
