Sorry if this sounds like a silly question... but I'm thinking about starting birth control, and I was wondering—do I need to see a gynecologist first to get blood work done, or can I just go in for a consultation and have them recommend something?

I hope I’m not hijacking this thread right out of the gate... =)

I picked up some Lindynette 20 at the pharmacy to delay my period (since I'm heading to the coast)... and the pharmacist told me to take two a day starting three days before my cycle is due, and then just keep going for as many days as I want to postpone it...

In that case, do these pills still work as contraception??

If you’ve chosen a reputable shop, you don't really need to lose sleep over disease transmission, though theoretically, things like Hepatitis or HIV can be spread via contaminated needles if standards aren't met. As for the cost, it’s a bit of a sliding scale; it depends on the dimensions, whether you’re sticking to a single color or going full palette, and just how intricate the design is. I personally had a black dragon about five inches in size, and it set me back $167.
If you have a low pain tolerance, you might want to reconsider, because let’s be honest—it hurts like hell. But if you happen to be a bit of a masochist, you’ll probably find the sensation oddly satisfying and end up wanting more (personally, I’m already planning my next one, maybe something around 🙂).

Regarding blood donation, the standard rule is that you have to wait a full year. That said, I wasn't exactly following the handbook myself; I went ahead and donated blood only a month after getting inked, which was probably a pretty irresponsible move on my part.

Oh man, I am incredibly sensitive to pain, but I would still go through with getting something on my upper back regardless. Does it really hurt that much??
