The best tanning lotions on the market are California Tan products. They range from $20-$130. Cypher is their best product out now. If you are going to use coco butter to to maintain your tan, only use it in outdoor tanning.

Do your homework on the art you want before getting it, it would be a real bummer if you got something permanant which gave others the wrong idea about you. I know a person who got a Chinese character tattooed on her arm, the tattoo artist changed it so it meant "slut" in Chinese. Ouch, real costly to fix!

I am 55 years old now and have numerous tattoos on both hands and arms. Been there since I was 18 with no problems at all except in Middle East countries where I get some strange looks.

-in addition to this, i have heard of artists digging too deep in areas with bones close to the skin resulting in chipped bones. These stories go back plenty of years, so make sure you go to a skilled tattooist. Do your research before trusting your body with someone.

Can going to a tanning booth when you are about 5-6 weeks' pregnant harm your baby?

== == Yes, what do you think might happen? Don't pregnant women get a sun tan in Mexico, or Africa, without problems? If you are on vacation and tanning in the sun you should be aware that your tan may be patchy, you may get a large freckle across your face and also a darker line down the center of your tummy if wearing a two-piece bathing suit. These are both absolutely normal in pregnancy but may be accentuated by tanning. It is also perfectly okay to go tanning in UV beds. The biggest concern may be overheating. I would not go in for the full time, in a 10 minute bed I would say maybe 7 or 8 minutes and make sure to use a lotion.
