@Mayflower Well, now, that one would have hurt.... :)
Maybe this is partly why you chose a more 'sensible' (if I can use that term) placement?

Do you suppose they could be replacing any dying assemblies/churches today? Are two or three always or even ever gathered together there in those parlors IN his name? [See Matt 18:20]
@amadeus Good point to remember; thank-you. Good to pursue the spirit of Acts 2.42, indeed...
All the young people with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have spoken seem to have had them done for evangelistic reasons, anyway.
There a whole lot of pew sitters, who merely fill up space for a short period of time and as soon as possible hurry to do what they want to do. An hour or less out 168 in the week? Perhaps some do the same thing with the bodies and time allotted to them. It all belongs to God, the bodies and the time, as we are all only stewards. What does He expect or require of us? So many want to do the minimum and receive in return the maximum. They may not realize, or they may have forgotten:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Rom 12:1
@Ronald Nolette
In the past I've mentioned to ppl that my wife and I talked to a young lady - one of a number of young ppl that I have talked with, who have had Bible verses tattooed - with the whole of the wording of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area.
I can just image her having gone into the tattoo parlor with a great deal of joy in order to have the wording pumped in.
@Rudometkin In summary, it's about the tattooee's strategic intentions in ever going to the parlor to have the Bible verse wording pumped in.
(If this makes sense?)
@Christ4Me So was this the first faith related tattoo on someone's neck that you had seen, so at first it surprised you?
@Rudometkin So have either of you guys had any more thoughts about tattoos? or maybe it's on the back-burner for now...
@GodsGrace As distinct from the young ladies you recently talked with, I'm guessing that the lady in the photo, by her hand, is a little more mature in age than they were.
@FluffyYellowDuck There's something in any case wholesome about a simple, rugged stud. (Anabaptist or otherwise.)
@Heart2Soul Well, sometimes it does first of all take that little bit of extra confidence to go to the parlor to have an inking machined in, but once done, there's a ready made, likely effective witness tool.
(Like this lady has: .)
That's a pretty one!@Heart2Soul Well, sometimes it does first of all take that little bit of extra confidence to go to the parlor to have an inking machined in, but once done, there's a ready made, likely effective witness tool.

@Heart2Soul Yes, and I reckon that she might have hesitated a bit before she had it done, but - once all done - she likely was really pleased to have this witness tool. (Reminds me a bit of what @Mayflower said, really, about doing it; apprehensive before but really pleased afterwards.)
I don't think so. He did not mentioned it. I would think the crosses on the neck would be enough.
F, the image is from google...however, you're correct.
She's in her 40's.

Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone?
What about (1)faith based stealing or (2)faith based murder.....what about (3)faith based adultery
I'm sure Robin Hood was into (1)....and
men pray when the go to war (2)
and when loving your neighbour spills over into loving his wife (3)
so your argument about faith based tattoo's are equally invalid!

@GodsGrace Yes, a lot of more mature ppl are doing it for the first time also.
But it's really at the age of 18 or thereabouts when the profusion of first tattooing occurs.
Like you said in different posts:
It truly is what they do.
I think I've mentioned that a young lady that my wife and I talked to had the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; her favorite verse. Because it's what they do at that age, and so she herself wanted her favorite Bible verse pumped in.
