@Pathfinder7 FYI...did you see the new poll, above? Thanks for your recent comments; the previous poll expired, so I started a new one from a slightly different angle on this very topical subject, anyway.
Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

@2 Chr. 34:19 Well, it started long before my time... :) and now it's what so many Christians do ... as you know ...
@2 Chr. 34:19 Well, keep praying for him or her.I actually don’t know any Christians who’ve had tattoos since they were saved...the family member who did, still belongs to the ‘dark side’ (for now)
Maybe it's different in the UK, but these quotes are from North America, FYI:

WORD! Agreed Helen. These posts of farouks belong not only on another thread, but on a whole nother forum!@farouk
What on earth is your game????????
:
In this time when all Christians need to be sharpening their swords and checking the oil in our lamps... here is you bothering with ALL your multitudes of posts about tattoos , ear piercing , body piercing , and everything that has NOTHING at all to do with the kingdom of God , it is not faith building, encouraging, uplifting, or anything that helps us in any way. It is not biblical.
In fact it all came from the very opposite of biblical!!
We do NOT NEED ANOTHER THREAD...you all ready started far too many on these subjects already.
Quite honestly , you probably ought to go pray and ask God what HE thinks about all your threads and your OBSESSIONS!!!
@Nancy Well, I tend generally to agree also; the fact is that I have had repeated conversations with ppl about really good, wholesome Scripture verses which have been the basis for their tattoos. I believe yours is not faith based in design, and you feel a certain way about it; those whose ink is indeed faith based - Scripture based, in fact - maybe feel differently about theirs. Thanks for your comment; blessings.
If that is the case Farouk, you wouldn't be putting all these "like" polls up, I'd think you would want to be sharing all the "repeated conversations with ppl about really good, wholesome Scripture verses which have been the basis for their tattoos."
See my John 3.16 thread also.
The reason this poll was started was simply because the other one - which was still being added to - expired.
Thanks for your various comments.
@Giuliano I guess the parlors will gr gradually opening up now, anyway... (Did you see the new poll?)
I didn't see the poll. I checked -- they're open in my town by appointment. Everyone has to wear a mask -- and no facial tattoos.
@Giuliano Ty; seems like ppl who want to do it, can; it's just that those who wanted to do it for their 18th, or 40th or 50th (etc.) b-days (as often is the case) will have had to wait a bit...kind of a delayed b-day, I guess....
The poll is above if you wanted to include your vote (various reply options...)
@Heart2Soul Did you see the new poll, above? (The previous one expired; & this one is phrased differently...)
@2 Chr. 34:19 The design I got wasn't a success; I think maybe if what ppl have gotten were faith based, maybe they would appreciate it more in the years afterwards...this wasn't your experience, but maybe your experience could have been different....? :)
Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!
NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

@2 Chr. 34:19 Well... :) if you maybe had waited a bit longer before doing it, and thought longer about what you wanted (maybe even faith based, eventually?), then perhaps you would have disliked it less, in the long run; maybe appreciated it more in the long term....
@2 Chr. 34:19 Well, perhaps a Bible verse would have later worked in witness conversations; you never know....
@Giuliano I noticed they are open where we live, also.
Some ppl have had to wait a while before having their done.
Mind you - as opposed to the business perspective - to wait a while for a tattoo is not a bad thing, in order to avoid later regrets, right? Some ppl on this forum who had ink done have said that their was well planned over a long period, which is sensible.
@Giuliano Well, as opposed to (e.g.) shoulder, wrist or ankle, facial tattoos might be regarded as a bit way out anyway, aren't they?
The other placements are more mainstream (and sometimes chosen by Christians for faith based designs.)
I guess you would never have considered facial inking in any case?
