Bram, have you tried Veet? I have not, but it's been around for ages. I wish I could speak from experience.

Molly, I SO agree with not feeling feminine ... My God I miss shoes!! I never knew how much I liked shoes until I couldn't wear but one or two pairs. They really do make an outfit. Funny how long I hung on to mine thinking, someday I will wear them again. yeah, not so much.

Kathy, I understand wanting to be in control, but YIKES! If you decide to push forward with the tat, I sure hope it goes well!
