About Martin M
Expertise
Health is in the body, it`s in the mind and it`s in the emotions. About the body you can ask anyone, the other two are not so easy to discuss. Genitals are tricky subjects as well. So, just when sex is new and relationships become complex, who can you talk to? Teens need to grow up healthily in ALL respects. Your sex-life has just started, don`t let it start all knotted up. If you worry about the first time, kissing, virginity, STD`s, love, genital size, masturbation, homosexuality, self-confidence, oral sex or any such matter, ask away. Get it off your chest, don`t worry, be happy.

Experience
I?m not a doctor, but I learned much about much. On this site I advised and helped hundreds of people who had problems and questions about their body, sexuality and relationships. I specialize in questions that are SILLY, PRIVATE, EMBARRASSING, DIRTY and STUPID. Somewhere in your teens, you run into puberty and sex gets to be an item. You learn the basics about puberty and sex at school and at home, but where do you get the details? The weird and naughty bits? Who do you ask those private and embarrassing questions? You don?t want to look dirty-minded asking a teacher, you don?t want to look silly and stupid asking a friend. If you don?t ask, you worry and blunder. That?s where I come in. Old enough to know, young enough (at heart) to understand you.

Question
hey if u do a tattoo an piercing in a good place ,is it still dangerous ?

Answer
Dear Dina,

I'm not an expert on that, I do sexual problems mostly. But I do know that a tattoo or piercing, done by a professional, is not dangerous in itself. There is always the chance that the wound of a piercing may get infected if you don't clean it enough, but that should not be the end of the world. Infections heal after a while. I guess tattoos may cause complications like that too, but I don't expect anything serious.
About the danger, don't worry and go ahead.

About beauty: Me myself personally, I don't like piercings and tattoos. I like girls. Real, whole girls-as-they-are. Themselves. They are lovely and pretty, hardware and rampant dragons don't add to the loveliness a lot. Why look like a Hell's Angel?  

About later: tattoos don't come off again easily. And piercings leave scars. You sure?

It's your choice, but whatever your worries: danger need not be one of them as long as you get a pro to do it.

Yours,
martin
