Aloe Vera Good for Healing?
"I was just wondering.. i recently had my nipple pierced and is aloe vera something good to use on a new piercing. and also my belly button has been done for almost 9 months and still has not healed wat will help heal it quickly and not leave a scar??" - lenwa

Tattoo Cover Up Makeup?
"Does anybody know of any tattoo cover-up makeup that actually works? I have a tattoo on my right hand and am thinking of getting a partial sleave on my left forearm that extends into my left hand . I want to make sure that I have the option of covering up the hand part of this new tattoo before I get it, though, so I can still get employed." - lolitaz3

Covering Tattoo with Skin Colored Ink?
"It's been almost 4 yrs now since i got a tattoo on my lower back. I still like it but want to do something with it. it's a tribal that spans from hip to hip (im quite petite) and there's a sun in the middle of it. What im wanting is to take away the tribal part and leave the sun, only i dont want to do laser surgery. Is it possible to tattoo over it with a color thats more my skin tone or just a lighter color to to cover it?" - KLD1019

Tattoo Placement and Bra Issues
"I have a new tattoo in the works, and I want the placement to be on my side on my ribs. At least part of it will be where my bra sits. Will this be a problem while healing? If I have to go bra-less for a few days it shouldn't be a problem, but if I have to for the entire healing period, it might have to rethink the placement. Thanks for any help!" - 1TuffCookie

Looking for Contributors for Tattoo Book
"I am in the process of writing a book on World War II tattoos. I need a few more individuals to profile. Do you know anyone who may be interested? Perhaps a grandparent, great-grandparent or family friend? I can be reached at BookOfTattoos@yahoo.com. I will need to have a close-up of the tattoo and a picture of the person - full length or face. Along with the photo's I eventually need the story behind the tattoo. Thank you!" -bookoftattoos
