YW. Like the man in the photos, so many Christians do it now, that faith based tattoos have acquired a lot of potential as effective talking points.
Is your tattoo faith based?

Did you see any such tattoos? :)
If's often Bible references or verses, or crosses, Christian fish signs, <><, etc. that are used in tattooing Christians.
Not yet but it seems any would make good conversation. Kind of like a walking Chick tract........:)
My wife and I talked to a young lady who had the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also; and I'm sure that other conversations have arisen as a result of her willingness to become tattooed in this way.
Interesting comparison: so do you use Chick tracts?
I don't use Chick Tracts but I think they help as a conversation starter.
When I see a young Christian with a burning desire to testify, I have a very hard time in seeing why ppl would get really negative about faith based tattoos, such as Bible quotes, etc. It's rather like young people being keen to distribute Gospel tracts.
The fact that it's become rather mainstream now with even churchgoing, homeschooling moms getting tattooed would in some ways give faith based tattoo designs a lot of potential, in a sense.
PS:
@Dave L : Did you see this quote?

Clearly now a lot of witness potential has opened up, anyway.
What do ppl think is the most effective placement for a faith based tattoo to work as a conversation-starter in witness?

@Prayer Warrior PS: A bit like the question on the other thread, has anyone ever in your household had a tattoo?

Yes, and these days the tattooee is statistically more likely to be s 'she', as well.
(At least in North America; I don't know about Aus/NZ.)

Pretty much the same Down Under and the tattoos have lots of bright colours.
Yes, and parlors these days are often more like salons than the dingy industrial section stores that bikers and military ppl would go to, generations back.
I saw a quote from the Bible Belt in the US which shows just how widespread it is now among church women.
@OzSpan : PS: This is the quote referred to also earlier in the thread:
Whatever one thinks of the practice, it certainly has opened up the potential for faith based witness in ink, given the sheer prevalence of the practice.

I'm sure it seemed a nice design at the time; memorable experience, etc. - although maybe your thoughts also developed afterwards.Yes, not sure this will post as byrd says I have virus.
It's significant how easily tattoos become a focus of conversation; maybe this is why faith based ones are so popular among Christians.
