Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

[Preacher4Truth]

Maybe I should get John 3:16 tattooed on my wrist as well, Romans 1:16 on my left wrist.

Not on the wrist bro, that's too feminine. :)

Why joke about sinning ?
What is revealed thereby from the heart, coming out of the mouth(posts) ?

Do you disapprove of prompting conversations about John 3.16, that wonderful verse encapsulating the Gospel?

As a dispensationalist I would see that the Gospel - rather than the law or legalism - is the rule of the New Testament believer's life.

I suppose I could get Torah tattooed on my knuckles.

 

[farouk]

Ye it certainly is a great verse.

@Josho It most certainly is; summed up in those words is so much glorious truth and wholesome theology.

What do you reckon Torah tattooed on my left knuckles, and Grace tattooed on my right knuckles?

@Josho ...or even 'GRACE' & 'TRUTH' (John 1.14). It has been said that the Lord Jesus held truth without legalism and grace without compromise.

are you from new Zealand? if you were born into that place the Lord must really love you. that place is so beautiful sometimes i go to Gmaps and spend hours on streetview looking around.

So I replied to your post in my Inbox....been in NZ since a wee boy...North Island...now in Florida since after High School....Yes, NZ it is a gem of a country indeed....still miss it in many ways...would not miss the current left radical PM though.....when I was there we never locked our front door, ever...maybe if we went on a trip... The spirits of evil also invaded and influenced the people of God's own country over time like all countries....I guess.

Bless you,

APAK

I thought you would like this tattoo @farouk this is Nic Naitanui's tattoo on his back, a Christian AFL footballer for the West Coast Eagles.

@Josho Quite a long parlor session there, evidently...
And I like the Proverbs 16.3 reference:

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."

( I can well understand the thought processes of a young man man or woman at around 18 at the outset of adult life as a Christian getting such a verse - with or without a matching design - inked in after a lot of thought and prayer.)

@Josho; interesting; doesn't surprise me.

(What would surprise me more is if ppl were surprised...)

 

[farouk]

@Josho It's evident, anyway, that tattoos have been quite thoroughly mainstreamed; you yourself weren't surprised when your sister, whom you mentioned, got hers, were you?

No not at all.

@Preacher4Truth You're right anyway that, although it used to be overwhelmingly a man thing years ago and whether or not individuals of either gender happen to like it or not, these days and for a long time now getting tattooed is something that has very much as well become a womanly thing to do.

 

[farouk]

No not at all.

@Josho With its mainstreaming, it's just self-evident now, anyway, that's it's something that women participate in fully if they want to.

(Hence also a lot of Christians would say that self-evidently it brings wide open many opportunities for faith and family based ink designs that easily become conversation-pieces.)

 

[farouk]

Pretty much every one I know, and that includes Christians and myself, have a tattoo so...

Its mainstreaming is just self-evident, @Nancy . (Period.)

 

[farouk]

It is becoming a tool people are using to let others identify their faith.

Its mainstreaming anyway is just self-evident (for both genders).
