Hi there,

I asked my hubby about the tattoos. He said you should be very careful getting a tattoo anywhere that significant friction could be generated. He said it *is* posssible for the fiction of your shoes to cause the tattoo to become distorted or the ink to spread. Not the precise terminology he used, but you get the jist.

As others have pointed out, too, he said to be careful in selecting the location. Stomachs, breasts, and any other place where significant fat can be lost or gained, are bad places for tattoos, he says. The losing and gaining of weight can cause the tattoo to become distorted.

Finally, he wanted me to be sure to remind you to carefully inspect the tattoo parlor that you choose. Look closely at their sterilization methods. Ask questions. Find out how they sterilize their instruments. If in doubt, walk out. Better to be safe than sorry.

A-Phi love,

Geneen (and Dr. Andy)
