Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

[farouk]

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

Recently, I saw a man in public with a tattoo on his arm that referenced the title of a Bible verse.

@Rudometkin Do you ever see others with Bible verses/ref.s tattooed also?

 

[farouk]

@Naomi25 Thanks for the 'like'; yes, it's Christian young ppl evidently with prayerful attitudes that sometimes do seem to get inked up with Scripture.

 

[farouk]

@Seven of Nine FYI....did you see/vote in the poll, above? (Sorry if I've asked you before; can't remember...)

You're in Texas, right?

I saw this quote:

I would be hard-pressed to come up with more than a handful of names of my friends who DON'T have at least one tattoo--and we are all suburban homeschooling moms, ages ranging from early-30s to mid-50s, living in conservative North Texas.

I think I have seen it more than once, but I cannot recall any specific ones besides the one I shared here.

If I see that gentleman again I will pay more attention to the verse he has on his arm.

@Rudometkin Sound like he lives in your area, anyway. The young lady that my wife and I talked to who had the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area lives out West; we are unlikely to be seeing her. I also talked to a young man with the same verse tattooed on his arm and he likely lives in my area; but I have not seen him lately.

There is no doubt; having such a tattoo done does work in bringing about conversations with ppl; in the end I guess it depends to some extent also on the wearer's willingness to use it as a tool in conversation with ppl, right? (even though the Word can and is a silent witness).

The significant spread of getting tattoos among women - especially young women - as well as men has also no doubt contributed to the increasingly widespread existence of faith based tattoos.

 

[farouk]

Yes, we should all absolutely be ready to answer regarding the hope that is in us, even if it was brought up by means of our tattoos.

@Rudometkin Yes, this is evidently what young Christian men and women who go ahead and have it done evidently think, right?

 

[farouk]

Something like this with peridot, 2 sapphire for Lorena and Bobby, then either June or July color

@Mayflower Yes, getting inked up does need a lot of planning, doesn't it?

 

[JohnDB]

Do you ever going to answer my questions?

 

[farouk]

Do you ever going to answer my questions?

Read the threads and you will see.

 

[farouk]

Yes I started a tattoo as a young teen ...

@soul man Do you think it's advisable to wait until 18?

 

[farouk]

I've seen some gorgeous tats...

Yes, and it's become widespread for brides to regard them as an enhancement.

Not if you're a rebel with a cause :-)

@Acolyte FYI, did you see this poll? :)

So, no more ink lately?

No more ink for me. I have enough pain in my life, and I regret the one I have. It just isn't a choice for me.
What is your fascination with them, if I may ask.

@Acolyte A while ago you said:

I think a tattoo used for witnessing would give much joy. Younger people seeing it would think this person loved God so much, he could open the door to plant a seed.

They can anyway be an effective means for witness conversations.

Did you vote in the poll, yet?

@Rudometkin So was he a younger person? because it's often young Christian men and women who are very attracted to the idea of becoming tattooed with a Bible quote.

 

[farouk]

Also ...I have another daughter with a tattoo. She is the oldest.

@TLHKAJ Well, really it's a generational thing now, isn't it? When young ppl - esp. young women - get to a certain age it's what so many of them expect to do now, isn't it?

A lot of young Christians feel it's a really good way to express something faith related.

Idk if I'd say it's a generational thing. I think with my middle daughter, she had a couple friends who had tattoos. I'm grateful my daughter didn't get a huge one. She doesn't need any enhancement. She's absolutely beautiful, as are my other daughters. No improvement needed. :) But if she did, I'd love her just the same. We're very close.

My oldest got hers to keep the name of her daughter (who was stolen) over her heart.❤

I guess that he is in his 30's.
