Is your tattoo faith based?

I don't know, I couldn't read her that well. She might have actually been embarrassed.

Really? but you didn't find it embarrassing to ask her, did you?

 

[justbyfaith]

I didn't think that she would be embarrassed.

Well, maybe she was just a little bit; or maybe she wasn't after all.

I guess since she just did it, she'll be getting accustomed gradually to ppl sometimes asking about her ink when it's visible, right?

I on the other hand, got mine at 46...

Acolyte:

So since then, did you ever consider any plans for more ink?

No, enough pain in life. I dont think I will. Unless Jesus asks me to.

Seems like the first one was painful? :) (Some parlors have numbing creams, but they are not always used.)

I'm guessing from what you say that in some ways the value of a faith based tattoo design might appeal to you in some circumstances

 

[farouk]

@Naomi25 FYI, do you have any impressions of tattoos, especially faith based ones?

 

[quietthinker]

So is your tattoo (if you have one) faith based in its design?

A childs capacity becomes evident by what it puts out. How can a child understand concepts beyond its capacity?

 

[farouk]

I think I may have just noticed it and asked her what it meant.

PS: Do you know if your wife noticed it also? (I don't know if your wife likes tattoos, but maybe the lady from your church would be more willing to talk to you wife about it...or maybe not...)

 

[farouk]

Actually his is faith based, albeit he and a friend tatooed themselves in 8th grade. I on the other hand, got mine at 46 ...

PS: @Acolyte :

Don't be surprised if your children and grandchildren, whom you mentioned on the other thread, eventually get inked as well; a shared experience for family members all to be inked, eventually.

(This is why these days because of the prevalence of tattoos in many families, there is such a potential for faith based designs, which can testify volumes to other family members and friends.)

@justbyfaith So did your wife talk to the recently tattooed lady at Calvary Chapel?

 

[justbyfaith]

Not that I'm aware of.

I just wonder if your dw would dislike the idea of women with tattoos as much as she seems to dislike the idea of men with earrings: of course for her if this is what she honestly thinks, fine!

I guess the bigger picture is the use of both as witness means in one form or another.

 

[justbyfaith]

I think that she would agree with me that tattoos are out of the question because I am a stickler for the law . And she doesn't have any, so I don't think she would be getting any at her age.

Interesting; because by the same token she can't claim that you piercing your ears would be unlawful in some shape or form, yet she is vetoing your ear piercing. (God bless you guys richly!)

@Nancy ; @Heart2Soul FYI, did you read some of the recent posts on this thread? :)

man, If you think that tattooing is a means of witnessing, you are off with the fairies

My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also; and I' sure that other conversations have arisen from her willingness to become tattooed in this way. Faith based tattoos are proven effective in conversation-starters, and a lot of Christians know this and act accordingly.

 

[farouk]

I don't have a big problem with Christians getting tattoos as a witness.

Besides, a lot of parlors now are more like salons, with many - even a majority - of clients being female. Christians who want to do it are in a sense in a win-win situation, right?
