an artist, I can and do design custom tattoos (in fact, I prefer it- a tattoo should be unique to the wearer), however, between working, designing flash and spending quality time with my family I can only design tattoos for people who will be clients of mine. I apologize and I do wish I could draw for everyone that requests it but unfortunately I would have no clue what to charge for an original custom piece that I would never be able to do on anyone else again.

The H5N1 virus is sensitive to heat. Normal temperatures used for cooking (70oC in all parts of the food) will kill the virus. Consumers need to be sure that all parts of the poultry are fully cooked (no "pink" parts) and that eggs, too, are properly cooked (no "runny" yolks). Consumers should also be aware of the risk of cross-contamination. Juices from raw poultry and poultry products should never be allowed, during food preparation, to touch or mix with items eaten raw.

Hepatitis A & B Vaccine: There are several different forms of viral hepatitis. Each is different and being "protected" from one, does not protect you from the others. Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B are vaccine preventable. Hepatitis C has no vaccine, so preventing the infection through safe(r) drug and sex behavior is necessary. If you are at-risk, get vaccinated for the other viruses, and get tested for C to find out if you've been infected so you can get the care and counseling you need. See similar questions...
