Thursday, September 11, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Jump into action. Turn your energy level to high. Make a point to fill your day with interesting activities and events that are conducive to making new connections and improving your opportunities to reach your personal or professional goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Listen, but don’t disagree. You have noth- ing to gain and everything to lose if you take a position of opposition. Put more energy into self-improvement, love, romance, and educational pursuits. Travel plans aren’t likely to run smoothly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be in the spotlight. Someone will single you out at a function. Make a point to be articulate. If you don’t know something, admit to it, and move on. Honest communication will be the key to your success. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Problems will develop if you offer help. You are best to go about your business, stick close to home, and refuse to get into a highly charged debate. Fix up your home, and take care of your responsibilities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Introduce a pleasant change to what you do for a living or how you live your life. Believe in yourself, and you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. Don’t let anyone stand between you and your dreams. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do whatever it takes to reassess your per- sonal financial situation. Your putting things in order will ensure that no one takes advantage of you or tampers with your assets. Moderation and discipline will help you make wise choices. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Share your thoughts with people you come in contact with through organizational or industry events. Greater opportu- nities are apparent, but taking precautions to avoid someone offering the impossible will be necessary. Go with the most practical offer. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make personal changes to your home surroundings and important relationships. Bend a little, and delve into situations and activities that are unusual and promise to improve your environment. A minor health issue or problem with a pet should be resolved quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stay away from quick-fix suggestions. Place your bet on whatever you are most knowledgeable about, and be prepared to follow through. Don’t let a personal problem lead to a deception that will be difficult to reverse. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Expect to be questioned by a friend or relative regarding something you say or share. Get your facts straight so you don’t have to backtrack. An unusual investment will work in your favor, but joint ventures are not in your best interest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use experiences to make wise choices regarding money matters. You’ll be right on the money with regard to an innovative idea that can turn into a profitable venture. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back, but stick to a budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will face opposition regarding con- tracts, medical, and financial issues. Do as much of the groundwork yourself to avoid a conflict or unnecessary delay. Love is on the rise, and romance looks promising. Future plans will improve your personal life.

With 1 in 5 Americans going under the tattoo needle, the face of tattoos and piercings is getting more professional. But where and when will it be safe for Iowans to roll up their sleeves?

By EMMA MCCLATCHEY [email protected]

In this two part series, The Daily Iowan ex- plores the blossoming tattoo and piercing in- dustry in the Iowa City area, from its cleaned- up shops and artists to body modification trends amongst college-age clients.

A “stupid little flower” served as Megan Schwalm’s introduction to the world of tat- tooing. She was 18, and she had followed her inexplicable lust for ink to a tattoo parlor in Platteville, Wisconsin; tattooing was illegal in her hometown of Dubuque in 1998. The law was overturned in 2008, and Schwalm, now 34, has since covered her “stu- pid little flower” with a star tattoo. She has also become the University of Iowa’s diversi- ty-resources coordinator, adopted a son, cut her hair into a neat blond bob, collected a pletho- ra of professional pants and blouses, and got enough ink to cover virtually her entire left arm and much of her right. Of course, as an aspiring politician with an office job, these tattoos are almost perpetually covered by blazers and cardigans. “There certainly are moments in the summer when I wish I could just wear short sleeves,” she said. “But it’s not so much that I regret the tattoos but hate the system.” This system has been in place for decades,
