Q: If you are getting a small tattoo such as a single word in a basic font or a small symbol with no shading, you may be subject to a shop minimum. Your artist or the shop manager should be able to tell you the minimum. Getting your tattoo done at a popular shop could increase the price you pay for your piece. If your shop has a world-famous artist working at it, expect to pay more. Likewise, if your shop is locally popular and consistently booked due to its reputation for high-quality tattoos, you can expect your tattoo to be more expensive. Sites like Yelp are great places to check to get an idea of how much a tattoo could cost. Check online reviews for your shop to see how much people have paid in the past for pieces of similar size and with similar styles and levels of detail.
A: Inquire about the shop minimum if you are getting a small piece. Consider the popularity of the shop. Check online reviews for the shop.

Q: It is important that the animals you intend to breed are old enough and large enough. A male typically needs to weigh over 700 grams and be at least one year old. Evidence of maturity can be determined by expressing a sperm plug. Gentle pressure on the cloaca (the vent at the back of the snake) will produce a little white, cheesy matter that will tell the male is ready. While females as small as 1200 grams have been successfully bred, most breeders recommend that females be at least 3 years old and 1700 grams in order to breed. The process is too demanding on smaller animals and represents a health risk. It is best to be sure of the sex of the animals you intend to breed. This can be determined by probing. There are video tutorials available that teach the process. This can be dangerous to the animal, so do not probe a snake without first having received proper instruction; or call in an expert. Female snakes will probe to a depth of only 3 or 4 scales. Males will generally probe to 7-9 scales. It is possible to get a false positive for a female if the snake is constricting itself sufficiently to prevent the probe from achieving full penetration. In order to become fertile, a cooling-off period is required. The ambient air temperature at night needs to be in the mid 70's (F) low 20s (C) for a period of about a three months. The warm spot in the cage AT NIGHT should be reduced to low to mid 80's(F) low 30s (C), during the day temperatures should return to normal temperature in the high 80's(F). The idea is to replicate the weather conditions of winter in Central Africa. This short cool spell whispers sweet nothings into the brains of these beautiful creatures and tells them that Spring is coming and new life needs to be created. During the cooling off period, periodically introduce the male and the female. Have them together for a few days, then apart for a few days. They may try to breed at that time but it won't take. Still, it is a good sign. After the cool spell, the temperatures can be returned to normal. Good temperatures for ball pythons produces perspiration on most humans.
A: Make sure they have reached maturity before breeding. Determine the sex. Provide a cooling-off period. Warm it up again.

Q: . One of the best things you can do for your lips, in fact for your skin in general, is to make sure to drink a lot of water. Water not only hydrates your body, it nourishes your skin and promotes new cell growth. In fact, dry lips can be a sign that your body is not getting the amount of water it needs. Although it might be counterintuitive, wetting your lips by licking them with saliva actually causes drying. If you tend to bite your lips when nervous or without realizing it, try using chewing gum to satisfy an oral fixation. Biting your lips causes cracking and can create open sores that may need to be treated with antibiotics. Foods that contain vitamins B and C are especially good for your skin. Consider taking a supplement if your diet lacks these vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids are also extremely good for your skin and can be found in foods like fish, avocado, and almonds. You can also take a daily Omega-3 supplement.
A: Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day Refrain from licking your lips. Try not to bite your lips. Eat a diet heavy in fruits and vegetables.

Q: Even if you are looking directly at the road as you drive, you can become mentally distracted, which will prevent you from reacting to obstacles that appear in front of you as you drive. If a passenger brings up a subject you feel strongly about, wait until you've parked the vehicle to discuss the topic. Difficult conversations can distract the driver from things that occur on the road. It can be difficult to pay attention when experiencing strong emotions. Before setting off on a journey of any length, make sure children are safely strapped and secured in car seats and any animals in the vehicle are safely placed where they cannot interfere with or distract your driving. If your dog is restless, put it inside the boot and have a barrier installed between the back seat and the boot ao that it cannot jump over. For extra security, put in in a cage; but ensure it has access to drinking water and gets to stretch it's legs once you stop the car. Have a rest break if embarking on a long journey, and take the dog a walk aswell. Small dogs and similar-sized pets should be kept off of the driver's lap while driving to avoid distractions. Cage them so they don't jump around. Make sure all children are wearing their seat belts and unable to move freely within the vehicle to cause distractions. Children will often fuss if they do not have access to their usual snacks or toys during a car journey. If you have a passenger that may create a distraction, make sure they have everything they need prior to setting off on a trip. Keep snacks or toys within the reach of children so they don't attempt to unbuckle their seat belts or leave car seats. If your vehicle is fitted with a child lock, use it so that the children can't open it from the inside. Reaching around the car to get snacks or pass things to a child can be extremely dangerous while driving. If there are several passengers, you can ensure that another passenger will cater to the needs of the children (eg. snacks, toys, cleaning up) so as to take the worry off the driver. If you are driving with other people in the vehicle, ask that they respect the fact that you would like to drive without distraction. This means passengers should remain in their seats, not move around the vehicle, not play loud music, and not try to gain your attention while you're driving. Passengers should not attempt to distract you or gain your attention while driving; unless it is an emergency. Passengers should remain buckled up and seated while you drive. If something comes up that is unavoidable, such as an important telephone call or a discussion that requires the driver's full attention, simply pull over to avoid allowing the distraction to become dangerous. Pulling over on the side of the road to take phone calls or engage in discussions is safer than doing so as you drive. Using a mobile phone behind the wheel is illegal in many jurisdictions/countries. You can get a hefty fine and/or a driving ban as a result of being caught. Use a hands-free kit or switch your phone off before driving to be extra safe. On many highways, there are rest stops specifically for the sake of phone calls or other things a driver may need to do whilst on the road.
A:
Avoid stressful or emotional conversations while driving. Make sure children and pets are secure. Keep snacks or toys where your passengers can access them. Ask passengers to respect that you're driving. Pull over when you can't avoid a distraction.
