If you're playing flashlight tag while camping, make sure to keep the field of play safe. Do not play too close to the campfire and tents. You do not want to risk getting burnt by the fire, or accidentally knocking down a tent late at night. You should play flashlight tag with somewhat dim flashlights. You do not want to be shining bright lights into other player's eyes, as this can cause eye irritation. Never use laser pointers to play flashlight tag. Laser pointers can be extremely harmful to eyesight and even cause temporary blindness. This puts players at risk for falling and getting hurt. If you're playing flashlight tag, try to keep the play area small. For one, this can make the game more fun. If you're playing in an open area, like the woods, it can be nearly impossible to find everyone with unlimited access to hiding spots. Also, playing in a small area is good for safety. You do not want any players getting lost. If you're an adult supervising a game of flashlight tag, make sure you keep track of all the players. You do not want any kids to get lost or injured during a game. Do a quick role call before and after a game of flashlight tag to make sure everyone's accounted for.

Cosmetic tattooing is done with an electric needle that rapidly deposits ink pigments into the dermis layer of skin. Cosmetic tattooing is also known as permanent makeup. These procedures are often used to create the appearance of fuller eyebrows, permanent eyeliner, or permanent lipstick, but using it to create freckles has become more popular in recent years. A hollow, vibrating needle will pierce through the top layer of skin and release a droplet of pigment. While cosmetic tattooing is possible to remove, it is very difficult to do so, and your skin may never look the same again. To reduce the risk of negative side effects, like infection, make sure that the professional you hire knows what he or she is really doing. Check each tattoo artist's credentials. Make sure that he or she is a properly trained and licensed aesthetician. Get a recommendation from a plastic surgeon or former client. Speak with former clients, and ask to see before-and-after photos of freckle tattoos. The professional may have suggestions, but in order to get the look you really want, you need to have an active voice in the matter. If possible, go over a few photographs to determine which freckled look is right for you. The tattoo artist will help you determine the best hue and shade of color for your freckles. You should also discuss the placement of your freckles. When the time comes, schedule an appointment and get your freckles tattooed on. Before the procedure, the technician will sketch out the area that will be tattooed using a sterile surgical pen. Anesthetic gel will then be placed on the area to numb it. During the procedure, you can expect to feel a little stinging sensation. Make sure that the aesthetician uses sterile gloves and sterilized equipment during the procedure. You will need to reduce the swelling with a cold compress and apply an antibiotic ointment to minimize the risk of infection. Follow the tattoo artist's instructions about how to take proper care of the area while it heals. Note that immediately after the freckle tattoo is applied, the color will look dark. This should not be a cause for concern, though. The color will fade to its final shade after about three weeks. If the area seems unusually swollen, painful, or red after the first few days, however, there is some chance that an infection or allergic reaction may have been triggered.

When a cat's in heat, she advertises the fact to increase her chances of finding a boyfriend and having kittens. One way she does this is by vocalizing incredibly loudly and constantly. To an inexperienced owner, it may seem like she's in pain, but this is perfectly normal behavior. You can either choose to deal with the extra noise, or try to calm her down. Try plugging in a Feliway diffuser before your cat comes into heat. This synthetic feline pheromone surrounds her with safe, familiar scents. Pheromones are chemical messengers a similar idea to the pheromones a female gives off to advertise she is in heat. But the ones in Feliway might have a calming, soothing effect on her. It doesn't work immediately, but the pheromones build up the cat's sense of well-being over a couple of weeks. As such, it's best to plug the diffuser in early and leave it running constantly in the background, so she gets the benefit by the time she comes into heat. Not all female cats do this, but some mark their territory with urine. Urine has potent scent markers that she uses to attract mates. Again, there's nothing you can do to stop this behavior without getting her spayed, so you just have to make do. A few things you can do to make life a little easier include: Making sure she has a clean litter box at all times. Hopefully her house training will lead her to use the box instead of marking in the house. Deodorize immediately if she does mark. This will discourage her from returning to that spot to mark it again. Use an "enzymatic" cleaner to completely remove the urine odor. The enzymes in these products break cat urine down better than any other cleaner. Allow the product to air dry for best results. A home-made alternative is to dilute some biological washing powder in water. Use this to clean the area, then rinse it with water. Clean again with a solution of bicarbonate of soda. Finish by rinsing one last time. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden patch of fabric before treating a marked patch for odor. Your cat goes on a massive hormonal roller coaster,which changes her behavior when she's in heat. One difference is that her body language and social behavior might change quite a bit. She might seek out company far more than usual. She may demand that you rub her lower back. When you do, she might flirtatiously hold her tail to one side to better expose her genital area. She may 'commando crawl' across the floor by flattening her front half against the floor, then crawling with her rear end pushed up in the air. She is also likely to squirm and roll around enthusiastically. When combined with the loud crying, it might look like she's in pain. Don't worry she's just flirting. There's nothing to be done about this behavior. It's perfectly normal, and as long as no males are able to reach her, she'll be fine. Tire her out with regular play sessions. This may lessen her energy and help her to settle down and sleep instead of writhing around and yowling. Some female cats enjoy an extra fuss or even a massage when they are in heat. But don't be surprised if she starts acting flirty with you and presents her backside! Many female cats don't eat properly when they are in heat. This can cause them to lose weight and body condition, which worries their loving owners. But don't try to make up for her lack of appetite with higher calorie cat food. This will only supply her with even more energy to cry and call. Instead, leave large amounts of her regular cat food available for free-feeding. She can snack whenever she feels like it. If you own more than one cat, think of how stressful it is for the others to have a calling female in their midst for one week out of every three. This can be unsettling for them. The Feliway diffuser you use to calm the behavior of the cat in heat will also make your other cats feel better. Again, Feliway takes a couple of weeks to build up in your cats' systems, so plug in the diffuser before your female goes into heat.
