Hi @VictoryinJesus
I hope you will soon have peace of mind; John 14.27.
Sounds like your daughter is very artistic - like her mother, of course.
Thanks also for your poll vote participation.
In the Bible Belt it seems to be at least anecdotally that many Godly women get tattooed confidently (often in faith based designs):

In the 19th century, having it done was regarded as a rather lady-like, classy thing to do:

Sure, the pain can be minimal and subside relatively quickly and the ink can be symbols rather than letter characters and words...
Yet the INK is permanent.
I know some people LIKE “art work” on their skin for a plethora of reasons. I think long before INK tattooing, men marked their skin with temporary paints, coals, etc. AND cuttings to cause permanent SCAR “art works” designs.

Oh, good, @The Learner ; I did think you were talking about tattoos....
@BeyondET So is your mother the only person in the family that has gotten inked up (to date...)?

Already commented on what you said, but to add also:
When it comes to the "if your're a real man" (AND "if you're a real woman") aspect which you raised about ppl in the military, this is certainly the longstanding perception as regards tattoos and the military.
Although regarding the "if you're a real woman" aspect which would indeed apply to women in the military, I don't think it's just "strong military woman" types who get tattooed as a matter of "authenticity".
It would seem that there are really plenty of non-military women for whom getting tattooed may actually be - far from an expression of being a "strong military woman" type, a highly sought after expression of femininity.
It may be that these women might not be "strong military types" at all. But they might well see seeking and undergoing the really authentic experience as a strong way of expressing femininity (if this makes any sense?)
So I basically agree with your perception in what you said, but there is also this perspective, I think.

Yup I have 3 siblings and none of us has tattoos hehe.
@BeyondET So any of them sisters? and if so what impression did she/they get of the fact that it was mother of all ppl who had it done first in the family? :)
