In many cultures, tattoos are a rite of passage or a symbol of beauty. In the United States, however, tattoos are more of a novelty. They used to be the ultimate sign of rebellion for inmates, gangs, rock stars and bikers who sported wild designs. Since then, they began take on new meanings of remembrance and artistic expression.

With that being said, some people still make horrible choices and brand themselves with ridiculous images and phrases. For a good laugh, check out some of the worst tattoos ever on Asylum. Does the phrase 'my body is a temple' mean anything to these people?

Not surprisingly, none of the artwork from those awful tattoo pictures showed up on our top searched list of tattoos. A lot of flora and fauna did though. Butterfly tattoos ranked number one, with dragons, koi and dragonflies appearing later on the list. The category of flowers ranked as the sixth most popular tattoo, which can be very beautiful and life-like when done by a great artist. My friend has an amazing cherry blossom tattoo that looks like petals fell onto her skin.

Are you thinking of getting a tattoo? Think about using temporary tattoo paint first before you commit. You can start by checking out the web site Tattoo Johnny, where you can pick out tattoo designs and then order a temporary tattoo kit to try out first. If you like it, find an artist whose style you admire after looking through their portfolio. Also make sure that their tattoo supplies are completely sterile to prevent transmission of diseases.

Remember: tattoo ink is permanent and tattoo removal is painful and expensive. So, love it before you tat it.

When I was little, I wanted to be an "animal doctor," or veterinary assistant. I am glad to have my current job instead, because when I see the crazy pets people have these days, I don't know if I could have handled being a vet.

My friend, for example, just got a lap leopard. Have you ever heard of them? I hadn't. They are a mix between a house cat and a type of leopard and they can grow to be the size of some dogs. She had to order it from India and have it sent to her through international pet shipping. It is really unique, but it is also really expensive and has no pet health insurance. It got sick last month and she had to shell out over $5,000 to nurse it back to health. What ever happened to wanting a tabby cat?

Her unusual choice of pet got me wondering what other exotic animals people are keeping as pets. Looking at this list of top searched bizarre pets, I am curious where people get these sorts of pets. Web sites like PetFinder and TerrificPets have some unusual pets, but none this bizarre.

The number one searched bizarre pet, a sugar glider, is native to Australia. How can they live in your living room? Number two might be in your closet as a fashion item. PETA keeps a close watch on chinchilla safety because they are popular for their soft fur. Their cousin, degus, are also very fuzzy, all the way down to their furry paws.

Hedgehogs are the opposite of soft and fuzzy. Just like the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, they are covered with little spines, like a porcupine. They aren't known to run fast like him though.

Snakes are becoming more popular as pets, but owning a kingsnake still seems a bit too exotic for my taste in pets. I do hear they are easy to care for though. Other strange animals on the list include the axolotl, which looks like a fish with legs.

Do you own any of the pets on our list or another bizarre pet? Let us know! Find more information about these bizarre pets on AOL Search.

During their pregnancy, expectant mothers do everything they can to ensure the proper health of their baby. They don't drink alcohol, they take extra vitamins and they get regular check-ups to make sure the baby is developing healthily. The real struggle to keep your child healthy comes with parenting. Once kids start their preschool activities they confront a bunch of new illness-causing germs and bacterias.

While some illnesses can be avoided early in childhood with simple vaccinations, others can be untreatable or may require medicine. Take a look at our top searched list of children's health topics for some of the most common ailments.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) came in at the top of our list. The hyperactivity and inattention associated with ADHD can really show through in the classroom, which can indirectly effect learning ability. There are many treatments for ADD/ADHD, including several medications.

Another health issue from the classroom is number three on our list. Head Lice transfers quickly around schools where lice can jump around to children sitting in close quarters. It takes a lot of cleaning to get rid of the pesky critters, but there are several shampoos that kill lice.

One of the newer health topics on the top searched list has emerged since video games have become more popular than exercise. Childhood obesity is easily treated with diet and exercise, but it is important not to overlook weight issues as something that will pass on its own. A bit of pudginess is normal, especially in adolescents, but if obesity is ignored it can lead to a lifetime of health issues.

Lipstick is less like a cosmetic and more like an essential fashion accessory. Just an extra splash of color on your face can bring your whole look from 'OK' to 'Wow!'. Depending on your outfit and mood, you can be glossy and flirty, matte and seductive, or satin and sweet. And there is a whole palette of colors to choose from.

Lipsticks and lip gloss also have the power to pump up your lips without having an actual lip augmentation. Makeup artists share some of the trickiest beauty secrets that can take thin little bird lips and transform them into a pout that could compete Angelina Jolie's luscious lips. While your personal cosmetics bag probably looks a lot different than that of a celebrity makeup artist, it doesn't mean you can't get great makeup too. Check out our list of the top searched lipsticks on AOL Search for some lip glosses that are sure to make you pucker up.

Chanel lipsticks dominated the top of our list. The world renowned brand combines lustrous color, day-long comfort and effortless wear for their fabulous lipsticks. Their moisturizing formula enriches lips with smoothing Vitamin E for soft and stay-put coverage. Chanel Aqualumiere Lipstick, number 5, is also fortified with sunscreen to help protect your lips from any sun damage.

Sephora is one of the best online shopping spots for cosmetics because it sells collections from most major cosmetics companies. You can even find the third top searched lip gloss from Smashbox there. This lip plumping lip gloss delivers a shot of ultra-moisturizers to keep lips soft and smooth. Their dazzling colors come in three different types of color intensity so you can choose the coverage that is right for you.

Fall fashion is making its way into department stores and those cute summer dresses are slowly making their way to the clearance racks. That means it is the perfect time to get a sneak peak at new collections and grab some heavily discounted summer gear, like women's swimwear.

Malls can be such a hassle, so try shopping at a department store. They have tons of departments where you can cross off a couple stops on your to do list instead of running around town. Where else can you buy flowers, t-shirts and an air conditioner in one place? Check out our list of the top searched department stores for ideas on where to go.

Target ranked number one on our most shopped list, which is no surprise. It is known for carrying a wide variety of merchandise, from toys to Tivo, and is popular for families looking to shop for everyone's needs. They also have tons of locations and some of the best online shopping.

For a slightly higher quality store, the second most searched department store has what you are looking for. Sears has a great appliance and electronic department as well as shoes and clothes for the whole family. I love their shoe department. They have so many new shoes that I can choose from, like New Balance shoes.

If you are more into designer brands, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus have you covered. They sell brands that you will only find elsewhere in boutiques, such as Prada. It isn't all high fashion though, you can buy casual footwear as well as a Coach handbag.

As the summer dies down, TV begins to ramp up. Starting this September, dozens of shows are making their premiere and viewers are buzzing about the hottest new programs. So grab the remote, popcorn and TV Guide and get ready for this upcoming season of action, drama, comedy and romance.

Topping our top searched list of new fall TV shows are two old TV shows. The first, '90210', is the newest teen soap spawned from the 'Beverly Hills 90210' of the '90s. Highlights of the revamped version include a hot new cast and appearances from the original crew. Number 2 on the list is the Hoff's old claim to fame, still featuring the talking coupe KITT. The original shows are classics for a reason, but jury's still out on the remakes.

Perhaps the eeriest new show of this season is a new 'X-Files' and 'Twilight Zone' type drama. 'Fringe' features an amazing cast an FBI agent and her son who are riddled by strange happenings, including a flight that lands with dead passengers.

Not into the paranormal? Don't worry, there is something for everyone. 'Gossip Girl' fans may soon become 'Privileged' fans with the newest rich-girl-drama. Megan graduates from one of the best colleges and ends up tutoring math for twin spoiled girls. If the glamor doesn't get you hooked, the drama will.

Think quick: Is your toilet paper roll folded over or under? If you answered correctly, you could win $5,000 in this new home invasion show. 'Opportunity Knocks' sets up a game show in your front yard and quizzes your family on aspects of their everyday life. Sound easy? Think again.

Only NBC could draw Christian Slater off of the silver screen for an action packed drama. In 'My Own Worst Enemy', he plays a split personality spy and suburban dad.

When I was studying for my bachelors degree, football games and tailgating had no part in my university education. My school only had a semblance of athletics (no football or baseball teams) and an over abundance of politically active students instead. So when I listened to some friends of mine excitedly talk about going to see a game at their alma mater, I started to get excited about college sports too.

With college football starting up again, it is only fitting that we look at the one person that unifies all of the best college's sports teams: the mascot. I decided to put together a list of the top searched college mascots in the United States. Great schools have great mascots, and this list proves it.

Topping the list is a lovely English bulldog named Uga. The University of Georgia have celebrated this mascot since the 1950s and is now cheering for Uga VII. Another dog appeared on our top searched list, Texas A&M University has had eight different mascot dogs named Reveille.

Louisiana State University takes their pet mascot to the extreme with Mike the Tiger. They have had six different live Bengal tigers as their mascot, which caught the attention of more than just the fans. PETA asked the school to stop the tradition in 2007 when Mike V died, but the school stood by their mascot and his spot in their veterinary program.

Florida State University also fought for their beloved mascot after the NCAA ruled that they would have to stop using references to Native Americans in sports. The FSU Seminoles did not give up though and Chief Osceola still rides his horse down the football field.

A list of the top college mascots cannot go without mentioning Albert E. Gator. University of Florida students are such big fans of their team and mascot that the Princeton Review named them the number one school where students pack the stadiums in their college rankings.

My little cousin has ADHD and my aunt had a very difficult time finding a treatment for him. They have found that medication works best, but he went through a difficult time of changing prescriptions and dosages until he found a medicine that worked for him without severe side effects.

Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can be hard to diagnose because each person's energy level and attention span is different. Most common indications are a pattern of inattention, easy distraction, and sometimes hyperactivity. There is no cure, because it is considered a behavioral problem, but there are different types of treatments.

Many doctors and medical professionals prescribe drugs to treat the disorder, but it is worth trying out some lifestyle changes as well. For example, changing your diet to limit sugar intake can directly impact excitability. Other more natural cures include a mixture of vitamins, minerals and supplements, such as Omega-3 and magnesium, and Calm Child Syrup, a natural mixture of herbs.

Each person will react differently to treatments. Natural home remedies may not be the only solution and you will still have to make some trips to the pharmacy.

If that is the case, there are many different types of ADHD medications. Check out our list of the Top Searched ADHD medicines on AOL Search. Do you know a treatment that works well for you? Let us know. If you need more information, search for ADHD on AOL Search.
