Tattoos and other body mods

Carl, they're probably just acrylic if they're colorful. Teflon is generally only black or white. She may want to try titanium if steel bothers her.
I shaved my legs before I got my calf tattoos, but the artist insisted on shaving the area again anyway. So maybe if you're really hairy it's nice to get the worst of it before you go?

Hmm, Bio-Flex is also a possibility.

Oh, I'll ask my friend who is a tattoo artist on tuesday when we go bowling. He would probably have opinions on that.
Also its really cool that I'm friends with a tattoo artist. Our friendship was actually born out of him tattooing me and us just getting on really well and having similar interests.
Welu:

I've never considered shaving before hand, although thinking about it I wasn't shaved for my last one on the front of my shoulder. I think Neko's way sounds best and it's made me think I'll be doing the same for my planned calf tattoos.

No, I asked - she says they're nylon. She was having trouble sleeping on them and they just weren't healing with the steel ones, so she got something more flexible. They're finally healing nicely.
Maybe this bio-flex stuff is a type of nylon? I get tons of different hits on bioflex, from nitrile gloves to lifting gloves to joint supplements.
