Tattoo Removal – is That Tattoo Worth the Cost Years Later

July 31, 2008 at 3:57 am · Filed under Arts and Crafts

When someone first thinks of getting a tattoo they usually only think of how neat colorful it will look on them. Many people do not think of the repercussions that getting a tattoo can have. You should really think of everything that a tattoo means before getting one because it is meant to be permanent.

Tattoos are not readily accepted by everyone everywhere you go. People will look at you differently if you have a tattoo, it is not right but this is the truth. If you plan on having a professional career in a corporate environment you might want to think twice about getting a tattoo. If you still decide to get one you might seriously want to consider the placement of it. You should select a portion of your body that will always be covered up by clothing and never be seen while you are at work. If you do not heed these words of advice you might discover that you are a candidate for tattoo removal since it has begun to interfere with your life.

One of the most common misconceptions with tattoos is that people believe that if they do not like it later in life they can just have it removed. While this is true to an extent it is not all that simple. Many believe that since the tattoo can go on so easily the tattoo can come off just as easily. This is not the case by any means. Tattoo removal can be quite complicated and is not always successful. The success of the procedure has to do with a number of variables. The colors that were used for the tattoo can play a large role in the success of its removal since colors like black are more easily removed than colors like green or red. The reason is that the darker colors absorb the laser pulses better than the lighter colors.

Laser tattoo removal is not a pleasant procedure to have done. It is a serious medical procedure that must be done by an experienced dermatologist. The procedure can be quite painful and is often described as feeling as though tiny drops of boiling water are being splashed on the area of the skin that is being treated. The real annoyance is that sometimes it can take more than one session in order to have the tattoo removed. Removing a tattoo is much like getting a tattoo in the sense of time. The larger the tattoo is the longer it takes to have it removed.

One other very painful fact that isn’t physical pain is the cost of having tattoo removal procedures done. It can ranged anywhere from several hundred up to the thousands depending on the size of the area being treated and the detail of the tattoo. Medical insurance will often not cover tattoo removal procedures so this makes having a tattoo removed impossible for some people. Since the procedure is considered to be cosmetic, insurance companies classify it as unnecessary and therefore the cost is solely on the person to have the tattoo removed. You should always know all the facts about tattoos before getting your first one and should be prepared to have it your entire life.

What is a Claddagh Ring?

July 30, 2008 at 1:29 pm · Filed under Arts and Crafts

Although there are many Celtic designs used in making jewelry, one of the most interesting and popular is the Claddagh. This design most often used for rings is named after a small fishing which was located to the west of Galway, Ireland just outside the city walls. What makes the this ring unique is the fact that this village has exclusively used this traditional design for over 400 years.

How exactly this design came into being is still greatly debated as there are several stories that are regularly told, which is one of the reasons there is such fascination the world over. The most widely accepted however is the story of Richard Joyce of Galway. While Richard was on his way to the West Indies he was captured by an Algerian corsair who went on to sell him into slavery. In the Algiers he became the property of a wealthy Moorish goldsmith, who he ended up working with and learning from. Fourteen years later when William III of England became king he demanded the release of all British subjects who were detained in slavery in the Algiers which led to the release of Richard Joyce. In an effort to stop Richard Joyce from leaving the goldsmith offered him his daughters hand and half his property. To his disappointed Richard Joyce headed home. When he returned to Galway he immediately proposed to his love who had been waiting for his return. He is said to have made his proposal with a ring he made while he was waiting to return. This of course is the original Claddagh ring.

Another interesting element of this traditional ring is that it is used to symbolize not only love and loyalty but also friendship. The design itself is unmistakable as it features two hands clasping (or forming) a heart, which is then surmounted by a crown. The hands represent friendship, the heart represent love and the crown represents loyalty. A more modern version is on the market which no longer has the crown but it not nearly as popular as it does not have the traditional symbolism.

There are two expressions or phrases that are often associated with the ring. The first is “With my hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my love.” The second is “Let love and friendship reign.” Regardless of which one you chose to use or accept there is no doubting the symbolism attached to the ring.

The fact that the Claddagh ring has a specific design lends itself to another long accepted tradition with the use of this ring. If you wear the ring on your right hand with the crown turned inwards then you are letting others know that you are very much single and still looking for love. If you turn the crown so that it is turned out than you are already considering a love. If the ring is worn on the left hand with the crown turned inwards then you are most likely engaged and once you are married the crown is then turned outwards. The simple rule is that the heart goes closet to the body when a commitment is made.

While Ashlee’s ring is new it is certainly reflective of the growing trend for square settings and vintage inspired engagement rings.

* Mariah Carey has never made any secret that her favorite color is pink. Not surprisingly, her engagement ring from Nick Cannon features 58 intense pink diamonds coming in at a hefty 17 carats.

* Carmen Electra has a black diamond as her central stone. This makes for a very striking engagement ring.

* Katie Holmes may have been married for a while but her engagement ring is still worthy of a mention. Katie has a 5 carat flawless round solitaire diamond as her central setting.

Costumes can disappear days or even weeks before the event, especially in the case of smaller stores where they only order a limited number. Also, a day or so before a special occasion, the store will be full of other browsers and you will have to fight your way through them and wait for fitting rooms.

Something fun about adult costumes is that you can adapt them to give a completely unique look. If you do this, that means that anyone else at the party who has chosen the same adult costume still looks different because of your adaptations. Just adding one or two extras and different touches can make someone in an identical costume look very different. If you have a different hat and different waistcoat or apron or whatever your character needs to wear, you will look unique too in your adult costume.

Older standbys are both popular and easy to customize. There are witches and wizards at every Halloween party and this type of costume is easy to make. You have the choice of being scary or kindly. You can make the costume mainly or partly from your own clothes and add your own personal touches to make it yours.

Pirate costumes are quite popular nowadays too. You can use different styles and colors when making a pirate costume. You might like to be a cheeky deckhand in black and white or a wooden-legged pirate with a bright stripy outfit. You might want to attach a toy bird to your shoulder for a fun touch! You can really let your imagination fly if you want to create an adult costume like this.

Imagination is very important when it comes to adult costumes. A devil costume might be fun or it might be scary. You can alter the costume details and your hair and make up depending on whether you want to be a spooky Halloween devil or a cute one for a Valentines party. You can be this creative with your character because it is possible to adapt shop bought adult costumes. Let your imagination guide you and have fun!
