Contact Karen L Hudson

I love hearing from my readers, and I read every email that is sent to me, but I just don't have the time to respond to every question personally. A lot of questions have already been answered in articles that I have written, or if I think your question has general appeal, I may write about it in the future. If you need a personal or immediate response, your best option will be to post your question on the message board, where there is almost always someone online that can help you out.

You can still email me anytime at tattoo.guide@about.com. But before you do, you might want to see if your question has already been answered, so please check the FAQ below.

F.A.Q.

  1. Q. General questions about tattoos
    A. For answers to many questions about tattoos, please read the Tattoo FAQ.
  2. Q. General questions about body piercings
    A. For answers to many questions about body piercings, please read the Piercing FAQ.
  3. Q. Can you send me a picture of.....(insert whatever you are looking for)
    A. I do not have a huge collection of tattoo pictures at my disposal to send out, nor do I have the time. The pictures I do have are in The Gallery and I also have a list of great sites that provide free tattoo flash. Please check them out, and if you don't find what you are looking for, consult your local tattoo artist. Most of them welcome custom work, and would happy to draw up whatever you are looking for.
  4. Q. I'm doing a school project/research paper on tattoos. Here are a list of questions I need you to answer.... (OR) Please send me the following information.......
    A. I'm really glad that you're interested in this subject enough to want to do a report or project on it. However, the reason I spend as much time on this website as I do is to make sure that you can find the information you are looking for. Please don't ask me to do your homework for you. If you need to find people to interview, the members on the message board are usually happy to help!
  5. Q. How can I get my website listed here? or How can I get my website featured as a Link of the Week?
    A. Commercial sites no longer receive free listings. If you wish to advertise on this site, please visit About Media. For non-profit/informational or studio listings, I have placed a form on the site just for this purpose, to make it easier for both of us. Please use the Link Submission Form to send me your URL for consideration. Please be advised that sending me your link does not guarantee that it will be included, and it may take several weeks for me to add your link even if it is approved.
  6. Q. I would like to have my studio added to your list, but I don't have a website. Can I send you my information anyway?
    A. I'm sorry, but the studio listings are for websites only. Regular tattoo directories are available on some other sites, and also through many tattoo magazines.
  7. Q. How can I be included as a Featured Artist?
    A. Featured Artists are chosen on an INVITATION ONLY BASIS. However, if you are a tattoo artist and would like to submit some of your work for possible FA conideration, please email me with at least 5 examples of your tattoo work and a link to your website, if you have one. I will review the photos and if I feel you qualify, I will contact you for further information to create your pages. Even if you don't qualify as a featured artist, I may still publish some of your work in the main gallery.
  8. Q. I have photographs but no scanner - can I mail them to you? Will you scan them for me?
    A. If you have pictures that you would like to submit to this site and you don't have a way to send them digitally, you can mail them to me. Email me for an address. However, bear in mind that your photos will not be returned to you, and sending them to me does not guarantee that I will put them on the website. You must include your name, the artist's name, the shop where you got it done, and an email address or phone number you can be reached at.
  9. Q. I have a book/product I would like you to review. Where do I send it to?
    A. Email me for an address.
