Tattoo Impact Studied: Divided Opinions
April 5th, 2011
According to the Pew Research Center, results are almost equally divided about the impact of more people getting tattoos. 40% agree that it has been a change for the worse, 45% say that it has not made much of a difference either way and a scant 7% believe that it has been a change for the better. However, it appears that age played a role in the respondent opinions, among other factors. Older Americans that took part in the survey were more likely to think that the popular inking trend was regarded negatively. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 4 Americans between ages 18-49 have a tattoo. Searches for TATTOO rank consistently in the weekly top 50 popular search terms on the Internet.
When to Consider Cosmetic Surgery, When not to
March 9th, 2011
Cosmetic surgery may make you look better and this physical change often results in feeling better. When is surgery a better option than embarking on a concerted effort to exercise and eat a healthy diet? Certainly these simple changes can accomplish some things, all without the need for surgery. There are some instances when surgery is the only remedy.
Loosing unwanted weight and toning muscles often does the trick to boost morale and usually results in an overall improvement in appearance. Besides the simple changes becoming a potential health benefit, people often report a better sense of well-being. However, there are no exercises, no magic lotions or potions to get rid of droopy eyelids or sagging jowls. This type of normal aging contributes to looking tired and perhaps looking older than one would choose. These conditions require cosmetic surgery to correct the problems. Likewise, many of the permanent physical changes that women experience due to pregnancy, may also be corrected with cosmetic surgery.
The association between looking good and feeling great can be a powerful one. When used properly, elective cosmetic surgery can make you look better. So just like a great new haircut, by making you look better, it often makes you feel better.
