More Christian tattoo artists a positive development?

[farouk]

A group of 7 went...

@Acolyte It must have been quite the tattoo party.

Did you vote in the new poll, above, yet?

@Heart2Soul Thanks for your vote in the poll! I see that you think it's a positive thing for
more Christian men AND women to learn to give ink! :)

I think it would be a great opportunity to witness and to share Jesus and to discover what message the person hopes to convey with their art.

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

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

@Heart2Soul As well as the witness potential, you see that the poll answer that you voted for emphasized that — while years ago receiving and giving tattoos was very much a man thing — now they are very much a womanly thing to receive, but also for the Christian learning to give tattoos can be a very womanly thing to do, right? :)

Thanks for your vote, @JohnPaul

So do you really think it's an obsession? because the OP quote shows there is a wide demand for them, which I'm sure is true.

So you answer a question with a question as if that covered the ground? There is also a wide demand for illegal drugs, is there not? I'm sure that is true as well.

So do you equate tattoos - faith based or otherwise - with illegal drugs? :)

(I guess this is yet another question...)

PS: @jshiii Do you reckon that in South Carolina tattoo parlors are less regulated than in North Carolina? and if so is this in some ways a good thing? :cool:

No comment lol, but I really don't know a lot about tattoos because I really have had no desire for them. Even though Im ex military.

I think you also said Mrs. jshii has none, either. (Actually it seems that military spouses are a very significant demographic among the tattooed these days; maybe your wife has commented.)

Neither of us have tattoos lol

of course my son has a tattoo for all of us

I saw this quote, FYI:

My wife has talked about this possibility, but she has said she'd have a hard time deciding what to put permanently on her body. She has been urged by other military spouses to get one.

Maybe your wife hasn't commented about this widespread custom among military wives, but it seems to be a significant demographic, anyway...

To each his on....I would not judge someone either way. ;) However, don't let these fundamentalist get wind of it...they will judge quickly...just like the Pharisees

Yes, when they cause anyone to take his eyes off of God or they become a higher priority than God in our life as measured by time and devotion to and toward God. God alone measures us. In another post on another thread I was critical even of Bible study without communication with God... that is without Life, that is without the lead of the Holy Spirit.

"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

We have for each full week 168 hours available to us. How much should be used for God according the above verse?

(I guess this is yet another question...)

You still have not answered the question asked by @JohnPaul which is alluded to in my above words if you can understand them.

Sir. I guess anything .... anything ... I say about the matter will not be acceptable to you, but will lead to more enquiries from you. :)

This is not so.

I jump into your threads at times in hopes of steering people toward what I see as more important things. People may indeed get tattoos without sinning but the tattoo parlor is not likely to be the best place to make all of our investments.

"And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10:41-42

I see you frequently on other threads, but you never get into them like you do on these tattoo threads. Why, indeed, would anyone ask whether you might be obsessed with the subject? Why do you not answer that question?

You seem to know a lot of scripture, but even here on this thread [and similar ones] you don't quote verses which could help people make decisions you press them to make. I know you often show the Book and verse designations, but many people won't check to see what those verses say. If they are reading your post, they will almost always read the actual verse fully included.

I never vote in these polls, but on this I vote No!!!

I do not believe tatooing one's skin honors God with our bodies.

much love!

@Naomi25 Recently you said:

I think God can take any profession and use it for his glory. And there seems to be, at present, enough young Christians who choose a faith based tattoos to suggest that yes, it might be a valid option for a Christian to look into, career wise, if they like that sort of art.

So did you vote in the poll, above yet? :)

@soul man Did you vote in the new poll, yet?

(Hoping your wife is continuing to do well, by God's grace.)
