			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consumers shopping in their local supermarket are finding an ever-expanding selection of soap commonly called organic, green, or natural, even though many contain toxic chemicals. With greenwashing rapidly expanding into the personal-care product market and with more and more products going onto supermarket shelves the choices may not all be better, and in fact there could be too much information out there, making it confusing for the consumer to know what to believe and which products to trust.</p>
<p>Soap shopping shouldn’t take so much legwork, but since no definition of Natural exists for personal care products, we are basically in the Wild West of marketing. There are almost no rules. What is required then is more transparency regarding ingredients and business practices, and improved consumer awareness of soap manufacturing practices.</p>
<p>How personal care products are formulated starts with the base, so when shopping for soap consumers should typically look for the first four ingredients in the product. You may also be surprised to notice that in the soap section of the supermarket the majority of products don’t say ‘soap’ on their labels, and the reason is simple, these products are chemically classed as detergents. Therefore we see a range of other terms used such as body bars, beauty bars,moisturizing bars, but not soap.</p>
<p><strong>So How is Soap Made?</strong></p>
<p>Central to soap making is a process called saponification which is the name given to the chemical reaction that occurs when a vegetable oil or animal fat is mixed witha strong alkali. The are two key products from this reaction; soap andglycerin.</p>
<p>A curious fact about the modern soap found in supermarkets is that commercial soap makers remove the glycerin produced during saponification. The reason for this is that glycerin is a very valuable substance that can be sold to other companies making lotions and moisturizers.</p>
<p>Most ofthe commercial soaps, even despite their greenwashed labeling, contain lathering agents, artificial colors, and a host of other chemicals that most consumers have never heard of. It is important for consumers to remember that their skin is absorbent, and regular use of these products will see these chemicals stored in the body fat where they may cause illness if the accumulated levels reach critical points. Additionally, these chemicals are finding theirway into our ecosystems as every time the lather goes down the bathroom drainthe pollutants are going with it. Even more worrying is that synthetic chemicals from soap, body washes, shampoo and other body care products may beable to pass through the filters of water purification plants.</p>
<p><strong>Cutting Through the Greenwashing</strong></p>
<p>So you have made the decision to avoid the potentially harmful and polluting commercially produced soaps, where to start in looking for safer alternatives? Just because soap is labeled as “handmade” or “natural” it may not be a lot better than the commercially produced soaps. The key for consumers is to inquire about the actual soap making process and ingredients, which in a reputable product should be clearly included on the label.</p>
<p>One common product are the “melt-and-pour” soaps where the soap maker simply purchases already made soap base from a manufacturer. This base is then melted down, and various ingredients added to produce a finished soap bar. The quality of these pre-made soap bases varies enormously, and in many cases are very similar in chemical make-up to commercial soap products. These may contain a number of added chemicals which usually are not included on the labels of the finished soap bar. Additionally, manymelt-and-pour soap makers tend to use synthetic fragrances as opposed to the natural essential oils extracted from plants.</p>
<p>The two other methods of soap making are the &#8220;hot process&#8221; and &#8220;coldprocess.&#8221; The hot process method utilizes heat after the saponification process has taken place, while the cold process method does not. The cold process method takes the most time, but is undoubtedly the best method for producing the highest quality soaps. An important characteristic of both of these methods is that the soap maker produces the soap from scratch using vegetable oils or animal fats, and therefore has full control over what goes into the soap and the final quality and characteristics of the finished soap bar.</p>
<p><strong>A Final Word</strong></p>
<p>Sifting through the greenwashing of soap is an increasing challenge for consumers wishing to avoid harmful chemicals, and the key is to read labels carefully. If you don’t recognize a soap ingredient then either ask the soap maker, or avoid the product if you are unsure. You should seek out soaps that use only oils or fats as their base ingredient, and avoid those that use artificial colors or fragrances. These are synthetic chemicals and you don&#8217;t want them on your skin or going down your drain. If you want a colored or scented soap bar, look for one that uses only essential oils and natural colorants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-1.jpg"><img src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-1.jpg" alt="Soskin" title="soskin-1" width="612" height="449" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-222" /></a></p>
<p>Soskin&#8217;s approach to skincare combines nature and science. Its developer, the Cosmetic Research Group Laboratories, is situated at a traditional botanical site between Grasse and Nice. The researchers combine nature and high technology, drawing the most efficient molecules from nature. </p>
<p>To ensure stability and efficiency of the natural molecules and to obtain the best results for their beauty care products, the Cosmetic Research Group Laboratories invented a new technological process called ADVANCED MICROCAPS SYSTEM. It consists of the encapsulation of the pure active ingredients in a casing which promotes their action on the skin with precise targeted diffusion. The overall result of the combination of nature and technology is that the Soskin skincare range are well adapted to the needs of modern women.</p>
<p>Soskin&#8217;s Advanced Microcaps System comprises membranes which possess a remarkable affinity to skin. Indeed, the membrane has a positive pole, while skin has a negative charge due to the skin&#8217;s keratin. Thanks to this attraction, the microcapsules are bio-adhesive.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-2.jpg"><img src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-2.jpg" alt="Soskin" title="soskin-2" width="404" height="246" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223" /></a></p>
<p>When an cream containing the microcapsulated active ingredients is applied, the microcapsules are attached to the skin and their membranes are gradually degraded by the skin&#8217;s enzymes, so that the active ingredients are progressively released to the epidermis.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-3.jpg"><img src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soskin-3.jpg" alt="Soskin" title="soskin-3" width="404" height="237" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-224" /></a></p>
<p><strong>BENIFITS OF THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS</strong></p>
<p>The active ingredients protect the vital elements from oxidation, light, heat and interaction with other ingredients. It enhances their stability and performance. It also allows the use of some unstable active ingredients in cosmetics formulation, such as retinol (Vitamin A) and Vitamin C.</p>
<p>Improvement of the bio-availability of active ingredients for the best level of penetration is applied deep into skin cells.</p>
<p><strong>SOSKIN HYALURONIC SERUM [A+]</strong> &#8212; Key to the fountain of youth </p>
<p><em>1 gram of its content = 6 liters of water level</em></p>
<p>Hyaluronic Serym- This pure concentrated solution regulates natural hydration factors and restores the protective hydrolipidic film while ensure optimal quantity of water supply to the skin. The skin is instantly protected and moisturized while volumizing and plumping the wrinkles and fine lines imperfection. It contains Hyaluronic Acid whereby 1 gram of its content able to restore 6 liters of water level in your skin. It has become the best natural moisturizing agent in its class.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aloha! It&#8217;s been a while <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  How have you all been?</p>
<p>I thought as a come-back post, I would like to share some good stuff with you all, the wonderful, fabulous babes out there <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Not a lot to ask, just One a Day.</p>
<p><a href="http://oneaday.com/womens.html"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-215" title="One a Day (Women)" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/head_womens-300x60.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="60" /></a> This is the US version.</p>
<p>I bought the one in pink bottle and it was through a young pharmacist at Guardians/Watsons (I can&#8217;t remember now) who recommended this. At that time, there was no huge banners of display or any mega advertisements going on for this brand. She said this would be good.</p>
<p>Now before going further, let me share with you why I needed her advice and why this was recommended.</p>
<p>I did some readings and wanted to look for the right supplements for myself.</p>
<p>Not a big secret to reveal, I am not a very disciplined person. All I need is something easy, just one type of supplement so I don&#8217;t have to curse and swear if I forget to take one other supplement. I learn about other brands but I wasn&#8217;t convinced because I needed something for women. Something that is catered for women, to help me with my PMS, my hormones, my bones, hair, etc.</p>
<p>My aim at that point of time was to find something of high calcium, but not so much of just Calcium supplement. Read <a href="http://www.estronaut.com/a/calcium_woman.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. But my time at the racks of multivitamins, I just couldn&#8217;t decide what would be good for me. Then I met her, the pharmacist. I asked for her advice and she directed me to this One a Day (Women). She grabbed it from the lowest shelf and handed that over to me. I took a look at it, dubious at its reliability but upon reading what was on the label, I decided to give it a shot!</p>
<p>And since then, I have no regrets.</p>
<p>To be frank, I have pretty bad PMS symptoms. I&#8217;m sure many women experience this and it varies to a great degree. On a personal experience, I had days when I felt so depressed with lots of crying spells over any reasons I could pick on.  On some days, I would have huge appetite, craving for food with high sodium such as instant noodles. Not forgetting severe backache that I had to lie in bed for 2-3 days, swollen or sore breasts, bloated, sluggish, oily skin, sleepless nights or never-enough sleep. Oh my! The list can go on. Sometimes these days (a combination of symptoms) would last up to 2 weeks! Yes 14 days! Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!</p>
<p>So can you imagine my relief after consuming One a Day?</p>
<p>The first month was great. I didn&#8217;t have any of those symptoms, maybe too minor that I didn&#8217;t even realize they exist. And I definitely feel better. It was good for my emotional health too! I have not stopped taking One a Day and I hope you will start if you haven&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I bought a bottle each for my sister, my brother&#8217;s girlfriend and my mom. And I decided to buy this for my other girlfriends as Christmas gifts <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  What&#8217;s better than living healthily and feeling good about oneself?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BB Cream, Blemish Balm Cream, is one of the hottest beauty products among asia ladies now. It was used to treat and cover the skin of patients who went through laser skin surgery but was popularised by Korean celebrities. Many believe that Korean celebrities used BB Cream on a daily basis during recovery process of plastic surgery due to the skin regenerating properties. Besides, it was used for general beautification purpose as well.</p>
<p>I really recommend this for day to day use especially if you have sensitive skin or have acnes, scar that need to be covered.<br />
You can use that as the foundation, which not only give a very good layer it also help with the sun block, whitening, etc.</p>
<p>Some of the BB Cream&#8217;s benefits include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Foundation and concealer</li>
<li>Mosturizing</li>
<li>Whitening</li>
<li>Sunblock</li>
<li>Oil control</li>
<li>Healing</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the cosmetic labels with BB Creams include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dr. Jart</li>
<li>Etude House</li>
<li>Hanskin</li>
<li>Missha</li>
<li>Skinfood</li>
<li>Skin79</li>
<li>The Face Shop</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m currently trying Dr Jart. and will get my hand on Skin79 soon. Here is what you can start with :</p>
<p><img align="middle" title="BB Cream" alt="BB Cream" src="http://www.malaysianbabes.net/forum/uploads/1274697714/gallery_37_186_83124.jpg" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, 14th February is approaching. I mean those who are in a relationship and do care about what to do on that &#8216;romantic&#8217; day might be perplexing, biting the fingernails, pulling hair, or wait&#8230;do I hear the clicky keyboard sounds and do I see google as one of the main websites with the keywords &#8211; valentine&#8217;s gifts?</p>
<p>You see the single ladies and men might be snorting at the thought and trying really hard to emphatise with people who are desperately looking for something new this year to surprise the girlfriend or boyfriend, wife or husband. Frankly, this is also one of the best time of the year for the singles to hang out a group of single and hot friends while the couples can only watch the fun that you will be having. Ah! Sceptical.</p>
<p>Anyway, I should stop being bitchy about this topic. In fact, I am writing today to suggest some good stuff for men especially. Well these are some suggestions on what you can do on the 14th of Feb. Girlfriends, if you read this and love some of my ideas, you can pretend to leave this page on his laptop so he can have a good read <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Just ensure he doesn&#8217;t see this paragraph of my sly, cunning move <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well&#8230;Valentine O Valentine! Women are creatures who couldn&#8217;t make up their mind, not all but most of us especially when it is for pleasure. I mean why do we need to crack our brains for something that is meant to be pleasureable? We just want to be pampered, need the attention, want some good laugh &#8211; not old, lame jokes though. So, although this Valentine is not really in a good time with the impact of the economic crisis &#8211; it&#8217;s good to just make it simple yet astonishingly romantic.</p>
<p>However, for those who are not affected by the economic crisis and are still doing very well, in fact a lot better, you can do the following:</p>
<p><img id="image188" alt="airplane.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/airplane.jpg" /></p>
<p>A first class holiday to any first class destination &#8230;.</p>
<p><img id="image189" alt="hot-air-balloon.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/hot-air-balloon.jpg" /></p>
<p>Hot Air Balloon with a bottle of champagne Bollinger&#8230;</p>
<p><img id="image190" alt="creditcards_1411_18748581_0_0_6000860_300.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/creditcards_1411_18748581_0_0_6000860_300.jpg" /></p>
<p>An.. all-you-can-shop-or-spend day with your cards or cash &#8211; whichever you prefer..</p>
<p><img width="618" height="270" id="image191" alt="spa_2.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/spa_2.jpg" /></p>
<p>A day of spa and beauty treatments for her and her girlfriends <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Well if you would like to be pampered, you can have a couple session too&#8230;even better!</p>
<p><img id="image192" alt="stargazing_zoom.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/stargazing_zoom.jpg" /></p>
<p>A star-gazing experience with your coolest gadget or in your convertible sports car&#8230;both are equally fine&#8230;</p>
<p><img alt="clouds_blue_sky_002.jpg" id="image201" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/clouds_blue_sky_002.jpg" /><br />
Or engage a small airplane to write these words to express your extravagant love for her&#8230;.<br />
Well well&#8230;.for you who prefer a simpler version of Valentine&#8217;s and wouldn&#8217;t want to donate any unnecessary extra coins to the marketers, here&#8217;s what you can consider&#8230;</p>
<p><img id="image195" alt="41fdsawqcxl_sl500_aa280_.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/41fdsawqcxl_sl500_aa280_.jpg" /></p>
<p>A good body massage&#8230;.if you have coarse skin, slap on more moisturiser on your hands a couple of nights before the massage night&#8230;it works wonders <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img id="image196" alt="cooking_with_wine.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cooking_with_wine.jpg" /></p>
<p>Or whip up a good meal&#8230;..time to check the recipe book&#8230;</p>
<p><img id="image197" alt="cocktails_1.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cocktails_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Make your own cocktails ..the easiest is vodka+cranberry juice &#8211; slurpilicious&#8230;</p>
<p><img width="541" height="463" id="image199" alt="michael-buble1.jpg" src="http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/michael-buble1.jpg" /><br />
No, no&#8230;I&#8217;m not suggesting you to engage Mr Buble for a night melodic performance but well you can interpret it as &#8212;- to get ready with such pose..who wouldn&#8217;t fall for such a hug? I know I definitely will&#8230;</p>
<p>Or you can turn on some good romantic or jazzy music to heighten the romance of the night&#8230;have a good slow dance and spend a lovely evening together&#8230;</p>
<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is just another day and it is important to have romance and sparks every now and then, not just once a year otherwise, the relationship is just mundane, dreadful and boring until someone appears&#8230;a dinkum advice <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Wishing everyone a lovely day every day&#8230;have a good Valentine&#8217;s too &#8230;.</p>
<p>signing off..</p>
<p>LOL &#8211; I mean Lots Of Love&#8230;. <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><!--articleExtras-wrap--><strong>Lemon juice gets rid of freckles</strong></p>
<p>Mums do know what they are on about, sometimes. Applying lemon juice to your freckles does act as a bleaching agent. However, dermatologist Dr JoAnn See says you have to keep going to maintain the faded affect. &#8220;Lemon juice offers an optical lightening, yes, but it won&#8217;t get rid of freckles altogether. It&#8217;s like putting lemon juice in your hair in summer &#8211; that works as a temporary method, too,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Verdict: Fair dinkum</p>
<p><strong>Brush your hair 100 times a day</strong></p>
<p>Well, if it was good enough for Marcia Brady it should be for us, right? Wrong, says hair stylist George Wilson. &#8220;You should try (to) brush your hair as little as possible, especially when it&#8217;s long, because brushing causes split ends,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And if you do have to brush dry hair, do it from underneath to avoid all those flyaways on the top of your head.&#8221;</p>
<p>Verdict: Give it the brush-off</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t go to bed with wet hair</strong></p>
<p>This beauty no-no does not just leave you with a stiff neck and a bad case of the sniffles the next morning. &#8220;If the scalp is moist for a long period of time it can aggravate the small amounts of bacteria found on the skin&#8217;s surface, which will cause flakiness and irritation and itching,&#8221; Wilson says.</p>
<p>Verdict: Right on</p>
<p><strong>Cucumber alleviates puffy eyes</strong></p>
<p>While at face value it appears that mum just invented this to stop teenage daughters wasting their pocket money on expensive eye creams, there actually is some truth to it. Sydney make-up artist Anya Fransman says turning to the vegie crisper can work wonders.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cold cucumber slices placed over the eyes can help to alleviate puffiness simply because the coolness of them helps to constrict blood vessels, aiding in slowing down fluid retention,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Verdict: Yes</p>
<p><strong>Using toothpaste on pimples makes them go away</strong></p>
<p>If your spots are looking particularly red and nasty, you can dab on a smidgen of toothpaste &#8211; but don&#8217;t expect long-lasting results. JoAnn See says toothpaste should only be used as a temporary treatment. &#8220;It will dry your pimples out because toothpaste is an anti-inflammatory agent. It can reduce the redness if left on overnight and the results are usually evident within 24 hours,&#8221; she says. &#8220;But it&#8217;s not designed to stay on your face as a cream; it&#8217;s supposed to be washed off, even on your teeth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Verdict: Quick fix</p>
<p><strong>Never wash your face with soap</strong></p>
<p>Soap can not only strip away all the natural good oils and sebum that keeps your skin healthy, it can disrupt the skin&#8217;s pH balance. &#8220;Instead, choose a soap-free, gentle facial cleanser suitable for your skin type (dry, oily, normal, combination), making sure that you use it in the morning and in the evening and massage it into the skin for up to 30 seconds or until all the impurities have dissolved,&#8221; Fransman says.</p>
<p>Verdict: You heard right</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The name of this blog site is named after the word fashion. Fashion is defined a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc.: <span class="ital-inline">the latest fashion in dresses. Or it can also mean the conventional usage in dress, manners, etc., especially of polite society, or conformity to it; the dictates of fashion; to be out of fashion. The definitions are direct quotations from the online dictionary but when it comes to men as fashion, the definition will be this whole entry. Read it only if you are game for some controversial thoughts! No, if you are not open to having wild random thoughts, this is probably not a very good entry for you <img src='http://blog.malaysianbabes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</span></p>
<p>Now, how do we look at the whole situation where men become items or some form of dresses that we can pick and use according to whichever function or events that we intend to attend. When it comes to men-fashion, there should not be any rule or dictation that constraint what we want to put on for the day and how we want to dress them. No one could say this is right or wrong, no one could rule out with the tapestry and announce how this piece of jewelery can be worn.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it liberating to wake up every morning, and knowing you can open up the wardrobe and make the best selection for the day, sometimes more than a selection in a day; say a sundress for the afternoon and an evening gown for a ball or dance event. No matter how fine certain material is, sometimes we just prefer to put on baggy clothes and stay put at home. Not enough! When we get sick of thinking what to wear, we can always go for our birthday suit when we sleep or walk around in the house. This is truly a no-string-attached business. Again, who would care or to be more precise, who could actually care?</p>
<p>We bid them in e-bay, we buy them from boutiques, we exchanged with our girlfriends and sometimes, we get them for free. When we get tired of them, we donate them to The Salvation Army or we leave them outside our house and see who would pick them. If we are the sentimental ones, we then keep them in our wardrobe, far end or in a box that is sealed and kept in a store room, probably in the basement, a place where we don&#8217;t normally hang out.</p>
<p>Now, you must be frowning as you read this entry and probably are thinking what the **** fefe is doing with this entry. No respect at all towards men and values system. Now what I can say is this is just an entry of how men can become a form of fashion in our lives; just as how we allow our fantasy to hover around celebrities&#8217; shoes or dresses. Some are within our reach, but some will always remain as a form of fashion fantasy with some minor realization that can be reflected with some adaptations or changes done to our dresses or wardrobe. This explains why some articles offer views for female readers to dress up like a celebrity under RM100 for example.</p>
<p>I gather men-fashion wardrobe is probably one of the million items that women would want to have in our life, but how many can actually afford such fashionable lifestyle?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a guy or rather a girl walks by with tattoes on his or her body, people will turn their head and their eyes follow him or her to wherever they go to. People&#8217;s perception on those who have tattoes were bad, that they aren&#8217;t good people, there must be something bad within them, that they aren&#8217;t as simple as people think they are and bottom line, it&#8217;s everything very negative. People started become judgemental towards them. These days it&#8217;s considered a fashion item, or to some, it&#8217;s art or rather related to religious issues. However, the older generation still has the conservative mentality though.</p>
<p>I have thought about having a tattoo ages ago, somewhat like 8 freaking years ago. Yes no joke 8 freaking years! How people decide to have a tattoo? Well, as for me, I got inspired by my dance instructor then who really has tattoos all over his body and it was just darn cool on him. Ever since then, I dreamt of having one and I never did until this year.</p>
<p>Once I told people my dream of having a tattoo, majority says NO and that I will definitely regret during my old age. I say .. let&#8217;s think about now rather than later. If it turns ugly later in life, so be it. The pain was bearable, and it wasn&#8217;t pain throughout the whole process. It was cool all the way.</p>
<p>If people &#8230; decide to have a tattoo, make sure you don&#8217;t ink your partner&#8217;s name, or something to do with your partner and *touchwood* something happens between the both of you, the name stays on forever though the person don&#8217;t. Also a piece of advise, don&#8217;t ink something to do with fashion today. Tribal used to be an &#8220;in&#8221; thing but right now it&#8217;s fading away. SUggestions &#8230; please if you wanna do a tattoo, do something you really like and love and it&#8217;s best if it brings meaning to it and not just for the sake of tattoo-ing. There must be a certain level of trust between you and your tattoo-ist or else the end result won&#8217;t be good. You just have to trust your tattoo-ist. Ask around, survey around only decide because this will last a lifetime and one last word, do not regret.</p>
