Anyone who has every been to Los Angeles has witnessed the way that Iranians have created a name for themselves. This has been accomplished with the aid of signature bleached blond tresses, nose jobs, Benzes, and the fact that we are all engineers and doctors.

All of these attributes are aside from the fact that we have established ourselves as a people cursed with having a nature of being poolakee, which is something we are all a little guilty of from time to time.

I enjoy a good Gucci bag just as much as any other Persian gal, but the trends I have spotted lately are enough to make anyone with even just a little "shakhseeyat" sick to their stomachs. God has officially become a fashion statement in Westwood Village.

The latest fashion "do" in the Iranian community seems to be sported by the young, trend setting crowd that mingles in LA on nights and weekends. These twentysomethings can be seen on any given Friday or Saturday night, walking around or loafing in front coffee shops, sipping cigarettes as fast as they are lit.

"Allah" necklaces seem to be the rage, with most of them diamond-studded and made of platinum. Some of the versions worn by the young men can be seen expanding three inches in every direction, which is something that would even bring Mr. T to tears.

The ironic part of this whole new phenomenon comes from the people seen adorning these jewels. I'm not surprised that they chose to put up the huge bucks to show their piety. In fact, the comedy stems from the fact that there is nothing else representative of being religious outside of wearing this necklace.

There just seems to be a dichotomy of sorts when spotting young men chain smoking and discussing their next sexual conquest with the vulgarity of a sailor, while wearing a holy enscription. Is it just me, or is something terribly wrong with this picture?

Another practice that sent me into shock came as a result of over hearing a conversation between a few Persian girls on campus. One girl was explaining how she wanted to get a tattoo that was "meaningful and representative" of who she was. She had decided on getting "Allah" tattooed on the small of her back, and now all she needed was someone with good writing to give her a design for the tattoo artist to trace off of. I nearly fell of my chair. I wanted to scream, "divooneyee dokhtar?" ("Girl, are you nuts?")

I knew for a fact that this girl had never read a word from the "KHoran", and that she thought Mohammad was the guy who worked the graveyard shift at 7-11. I am not an expert on religion, and I do not claim to be a religious authority in the least, but I do know that something as holy and precious as the word God itself should be guarded, not stamped across someone's ***.

It seems to me that anyone who has studied Islam or has an understanding of the basic concepts of the religion would refrain from putting a tattoo of God's name anywhere. It came as a complete shock to see this dullard whine about wanting an "intelligent" tattoo.

Both of these practices of flossin' and flauntin' religion seem to be as fake as the "Prado Shoes" or the "Kate Splade" bags that some people still try to shamelessly pull off. It seems to be a disgrace to the people who have devoted their lives to a religion that they truly believe has provided hope and meaning to their lives.

I wouldn't be brazen enough in making the claim that these kids are frauds if I hadn't witnessed friendships with people like them and had not witnessed it time and time again as I went out.

Call me crazy, but I think that if we consulted God on this matter, he would want nothing to do with being a fashion statement. I think the job of working miracles and answering prayers is enough to keep His To Do List full for eternity. It's time we look somewhere else for fashion inspiration or signature style.

Getting a new tattoo can be a long process, and can result in infections and imperfections. Caring for the tattoo as soon as you get one, is important. It is like caring for a new car. Maintaining it will make it last longer. Same thing with a tattoo It is important to give it proper care so it still looks just as good after ten years.

Go to a good tattoo artist for your new tattoo. The reason that tattoos require healing time is that getting a tattoo is traumatic for your skin. A good experienced tattoo artist will be able to get you inked with the least amount of trauma and as such your skin will heal faster and with fewer complications.

Leave the bandage on for at least forty five minutes after getting your tattoo. A new tattoo is essentially a wound on your skin that permit bacteria to get through the first line of defense that your body has, your skin. This allows new tattoos susceptible becoming infected,causing patchiness in a healing tattoo. Keeping your bandages on for up to one hour will allow time for your skin to begin to heal thus reducing your risk of infection.
Soak the bandage with warm water when removing it.

This will eliminate pulling off skin that might have stuck to the bandage while wet. Never just yank off the bandage. This step can be skipped if your tattoo was bandaged with cellophane wrap. Cellophane traps in bacteria, and seals the tattoo off from air. A regular bandage, or a plastic/gauze pad is better for your tattoo.

Clean off the gunk on the new tattoo after the bandage is removed. Wash it lightly with some warm water and non-scented or soap made especially for tattoo healing. Never use bar soap, it will dry out the area. Merely lather some soap on your hand, and gently wash the tattoo and rinse off. Pat dry with a clean towel.

Apply a thin layer of non-scented moisturizing lotion, or products made for tattoo healing on your tattoo. Most lotions are acceptable so long as they are non-fragrance and non-coloured, as fragrance and colour can irritate the tattoo. Use whatever your artist recommends,because they can refuse touchups if you don't follow their aftercare.

Continue to apply the lotion or salve in thin layers twice a day for three to five days. Then switch to an unscented lotion for about five to seven days or so until your tattoo has completely healed. Tattoo healing normally takes about 6 days to two weeks. A tattoo will generally go through two peels before it is completely healed.

Don't pick any scabs or peeling skin that may form on your tattoo. You might pull off pigment and reopen your tattoo to infection. Any scabbing and peeling will resolve itself in time. Be patient and your tattoo will look all the better for it.

As your tattoo heals it will itch terribly. Scratching a peeling tattoo has the same effect as picking at a peeling tattoo. Apply moisturizing lotion or lightly slap the itchy spot. Treating the spot with some cooling agent (like an icepack) might help, too, as it prevents histamines from puffing up the tissue (as it might if you scratch or slap the spot).

When a tattoo is in the process of healing, expect it to look dull, gross, and as if it's losing color. After it has healed and still looks bad then maybe you need touch-ups. Most dependable tattoo artists will touch-up their work free for the life of the tattoo.

Even after your tattoo has healed try to avoid exposing it to the sun without sunscreen. Sunscreen 30 SPF or higher will work the best. Sunlight over time bleaches tattoos.

Tattoos are permanent. Think very carefully before deciding to get one.

There are modern laser removal operations available, but they can be very expensive (up to $100 per square inch) and take up to 8 sessions to remove depending on color and size. Even though it's possible to do with today's technology, it's expensive! Consider this before going through with your design.

Laser treatments sometimes do not remove 100% of tatoos scars, so do think twice before getting one!

Do NOT use Vaseline or any petroleum-based products.

I used to want the Farvahar tattooed on my hipbone area, a very very small farvahar in black ink. In that area it wouldnt be on display...unless i wore a bikini. I dont like tattoos on girls, unless they are kinda hidden and small.

Or i'd go for a persian writing...something like bedoone pashimooni (no regrets) or something meaningful

the tattoo idea still crosses my mind! still undecided.. They just look awful on 40 year +
