One of the biggest concerns most people have when first thinking about having a tattoo done is, are tattoos safe? And, what is my risk of contracting a serious infection? The short answer is minimal. This is due to the industry standards that have been adopted, and the local and state regulations that are being enforced today. There are some real concerns that you need to be aware of, but the fact is, you have control over most of them and I will try to answer those questions here.
The most common and least likely fears is contracting an infectious disease, such as Hepatitis or HIV. A tattoo is a minor medical procedure and when you get a tattoo done your skin will be pierced by a needle many times over, and injected with small amounts of pigments, commonly called ink. The larger the tattoo design, and more detailed, the more injections you'll need, and every one of these injections brings the needle into contact with your blood.
A recent study done by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, on approximately 3800 people, reported that there was a notable correlation between people with multiple tattoos, and having hepatitis C. At first glance the results indicated that people with hepatitis C were three times more likely to have multiple tattoos, or people with 3 or more tattoos were 3 times more likely to have the disease, however you look at it.
Although this study seems alarming, it did not point to the cause, only suggests that there is some kind of link between having a tattoo and contracting hepatitis C. The study didn't take into account lifestyle, which is the more probable cause. There have been several studies done about people with multiple tattoos on the topics of suicide, psychological problems, and risk taking, and the results were comparable, further suggesting that the cause of infections were less related to tattoos, than these other dynamics.
The bottom line is, although there is a small risk of contracting any infection during the process of getting a tattoo, or any medical procedure for that matter, it is highly unlikely, because the industry at large, as mentioned before, is regulated by state and local authorities. Any violation of these safety standards will result in serious consequences, carrying heavy fines and other penalties including being shut down, not to mention the reputation of the business is at stake, and potential liability to its owners.
As a side note, there have not been any reported cases of anyone ever contracting HIV when getting a tattoo inked, but many from hospitals, and even several cases from visits to the dentist, although it's hard to compare those numbers other than just saying none. So I think it's safe to assume that having a tattoo done in a qualified studio is very safe if you observe, and the artists adhere to simple procedure.
Here are some simple guidelines of what not to do and what to look from your artist.
Don't have a tattoo done at someone's house, garage, or basement unless that's where their studio is legally licensed and operated.
Observe weather your artist washes his or her hands. Artists are in most cases required to, and should wash their hands both before and after putting gloves on and off. Make sure they only use new pairs. All needles used must be new and in sealed packages.
Also make sure the equipment is sterilized-if in doubt ask. Sterilized is far different than being just clean. It involves chemicals or high heat to kill bacteria and viruses. The sterilization equipment used today in tattoo studios is similar to that of a hospital.
Is the business, and the individual work stations, clean and sterile? Clean tattoo needles can be contaminated when exposed to germs from an unclean work station or equipment. Again, when in doubt, ask.
Follow these simple guidelines and you will be fine and if you have any doubts what-so-ever, don't hesitate to ask, I can't stress this enough. Most artists are aware of your concerns and able to resolve any fears you may have.
The simple fact is, statistically, tattoos are safe, (most problems are the result of a breach of these simple rules) and your biggest risk of infection comes from how you take care of your new tattoo after it is done, during the healing process, of which you have total control. Follow aftercare advice that will be given to you on how to avoid these types of infections, to protect the look of your new tattoo.

How to select a racquetball racquet
You mean there's more than one kind of racquet?
Selecting the racquetball racquet that is right for you can be tricky. If you have been playing a while you may already know if you're a HEAD guy/gal, or an Ektelon guy/gal etc.
If you are looking to get your first serious racquet, or even your first racquet period, answering some simple questions can help you in your quest for the perfect racquet.
What Size Grip?
This is one of the easier questions to answer. If you wear an XL sized glove you might want an XS (eXtra Small, even though it is the larger of the two sizes of racquetball grips.) or 3-7/8" or 3-15/16" grip.
Most everyone else will want an SS (Super Small) or 3-5/8. Some Large glove wearers might like a larger size grip, but in general, the smaller grip allows you to move the racquet around in your hand easier for more control, and you can generate more wrist snap for more power.
If you are unsure, go with the SS, you can always build up the size of the handle with tape, but shaving a handle down is not recommended.

On top of that, some grips are rounder and others are flatter. In general Ektelon and ProKennex have somewhat more rectangular (flatter) grips while the other manufacturers have more square (rounder) grips.
What weight?
Good racquets range from 150 to about 195 grams. Some cheaper racquets are heavier, but we're assuming if you're looking at this, you are somewhat serious about racquetball.
Lighter racquets are prefered by more advanced players. The lighter racquet is more maneuverable and therefore can provide more control. Almost all professional players use a racquet in the 170-175g range. This is the range where the racquet is light enough to move around, but an athletic person can still generate quite a bit of force with it.
In general a heavier racquet will help "bring your swing around" and provide some extra power, after all Force equals Mass x Acceleration (F=MA). If you have a slower swing speed, buying some Mass can make up for less Acceleration. Less experienced, or just slow swing speed players will tend toward the heavier racquets. Heavier racquets may lead to more arm fatigue over extended play.
Racquets lighter than 165g, in general, are designed for people not seeking a lot of power, or just can't swing a heavier racquet effectively. Petite women and younger players might like a 150g racquet because they can swing it easily, most players will probably find these racquets too light, and might even experience some elbow pain from swinging such a light racquet.
So that's all there is to it?
Not quite. There are some other factors to consider such as balance and swingweight.
Balance helps describe how the weight of the racquet is distributed. Head heavy refers to a racquet that has it's center of mass toward the head of the racquet. Mass further away from the lever point (your hand) requires more inertia move, but generates more power. Mass closer to your hand, allows more control, but not as much power. HEAD, Gearbox, and Wilson tend to be head heavy. Ektelon and E-Force tend to be slightly head light to slightly head heavy. ProKennex has models that are all over the place.
Swingweight is how heavy the racquet feels when swung. It is a combination of the total weight and the balance. 2 racquets can have the same swingweight even if they are different stationary weights. For instance a lighter racquet with it's weight distributed toward the head can actually have a higher swingweight than a heavier racquet with a head light balance point. For instance the GB-250 165g and GB-250 170g have the same swingweight despite one being lighter than the other.
Durability?
As long as you don't smash your racquet against a wall after you skip a shot, durability should not really be an issue with today's modern racqeut technologies. Most new racquets come with a one year manufacturer's warranty just in case.

Do you have any ideas for somewhat-personal homemade gifts?
Im 16 and a job is hard to come by, especially in my small town. So far Im completely done shopping for one person, my brother's girlfriend.
Here's what I have so far and what each person is 'into'
My mom- two expensive lipsticks she wanted. Shes kind of easy to please. Im not sure
My dad- a picture frame and a really beautiful picture of the two of us. He's the redneck hunting and fishing guy
my brother- weight-lifting gloves. hes the same as my dad
other brother- racquetball balls. He likes hunting too and hes athletic..ish
sister-in-law- phase 10 plying cards. I got nothin
And finally,
nephew- He loves pretzels so I was going to get him a bag of pretzels. He'll be 11 months by Christmas
I was thinking maybe burning CD's for everyone?
Let me know if you think of anything. Thank you!
I think burning a CD is a great idea.
It evokes a lot of thought on the giver that they took the time to create something personal.
Anybody can go out and buy a gift, personal gifts like that is more meaningful.
You can have a lot of fun creating the covers for the cases.
As for the brother's girlfriend, it depends on what she's into. If she's into coffee, I've given expresso cups with homemade biscotti as gifts or a Starbucks travel mug with a Starbucks gift card in it.
If she has an Ipod, an iTunes gift card of your personal cd she can download.
You can do a themed gift. Is she into books? How about a bookstore gift card in a basket filled with a pretty tea cup or coffee mug, flavored coffee or tea with the gift card tucked in.
You can make a movie night basket with popcorn, toppings, candy and a Blockbuster gift card.
Hope this helps.
