@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Well, if I'm not mistaken you in that respect will soon be like him, a tattooee.
@Not me A good approach indeed, when it comes to the subject of tattoos, some of which are often faith based in content and used in witness.
@Taken
Good to keep praying for her, right? that she may learn from God's Word and her experiences.
What can usefully be remembered also is that ppl with tattoos not unusually will go back to the artist after some years anyway if there is a bit of ink fading and have an existing tattoo touched up with a bit more pigment. It's not necessarily going to be a re-design. Shows also how a good, longer term relationship with a tattoo artist can be helpful.
@Eternally Grateful I agree, yes. I may have mentioned that my wife and I talked to a young lady with John 3.16 machined in ink into her wrist; it led to our conversation; other conversations have doubtless arisen also; going to the tattoo parlor is exactly the sort of thing that young ladies might do; she seemed to have a quiet demeanor and also confidently desired to go for it.
@Ronald Nolette I do think that grandparents these days ought just quietly to get accustomed to the idea that it's something that their earnest, Christian grandsons and granddaughers might well go for.

@Not me Yes. This Romans 14 principle seems to point to the idea of: 'To each his own'. Or maybe especially today, even, given those who do it, 'to each her own'.
@Qoheleth Yes, looks rather striking....No sweat, my friend.
How do you like my makeover?
Like you said, if Christians do make 'informed, uninhibited, and conscientious decisions', then I guess it's all part of Romans 14 Christian liberty - esp. when the inking is for faith based designs often used as talking points in witness. All the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have talked seem to have had them done as witness tools.

You're kinda mixing your own words with mine in my mouth there but, oh well...
To each their own kick, man, you dig?

Old habits die hard! Especially in old crusty salts!!!:) Too many people have the mindset that if I didn't do it, it probably isn't good.

quietly...
because they are earnest...
Interesting how, so often, the rights of some seem somehow to outweigh those of others
"Be quiet, for they are earnest."
Just thinking out loud
Usually never a good idea
unless you're young... and earnest

@Qoheleth I guess...if a young Christian does think it a good idea - e.g., to receive a John 3.16 inking on the wrist for witness tool purposes (as the young lady did with whom my wife and I talked) - then maybe the least one can do is not give her a hard time for it....
(In fact, encouraging the young person in Gospel witness can even be a good thing.....)
@Lambano Would you say with having kept getting so many it was almost an addiction? or maybe they were done in a measured way for witness purposes...?
@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d (Maybe just as well respond here...topically...)
Seems like you are now rather keen to leave behind your un-inked skin at certain placements in order to have ready made tattoo parlor inked up lead-ins to talk to ppl all about what you want to talk about...
Is there a good parlor near you?
Oh yes,we have several really good artist that myself and my daughter both know.
I figure that life has left enough scars, so I'm going to add beauty,although our scars have meaning as well !
@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d
Oh so you've got an advantage over other tattooee hopefuls in that your daughter seems to know all the good artists in your area; maybe even through her that you got to know them...
Sounds pretty certain that your daughter already is herself nicely inked up.
Your warm anticipation is getting quite apparent.
