PS: @soul man Did you consider voting in the poll, above, yet?

Getting a tattoo pales by comparison.

@shnarkle Leaving aside the many examples of senior Chrisitian women who receive it now (an example of which you cited), it seems to have become more or less established as an expected custom, perceived now as benign, for so many young Christian women to receive.

Yep. It's ironic how we can simply ignore God's laws simply by redefining them as customs instead. Did you know that in the British Isles, it was customary to copulate as a form of greeting? If we adopt that custom, we're no longer fornicating. It's really no different than shaking someone's hand.

Lol, she already has one.

@Waiting on him So she truly would find it fulfilling to pump ink artistically into the skin of people who wanted to be her clients?

I guess? Though it sounds rather morbid

@Waiting on him It's what using - and carefully learning to use - the tattoo machine amounts to, right? Your daughter seems already to have developed a sense of flair for it, anyway...

 

[farouk]

... sounds rather morbid

PS: @Waiting on him I guess your daughter would probably rather use the term - in terms of perfecting artistic method - exhilarating...wouldn't she? :) to those willing to receive it....

Your example is vivid, undoubtedly, though maybe a slight shadow off topic...?

@Jennifer FYI.. (and now for something completely different..) did you see this poll, above?

 

[farouk]

No need. I'm a woman so know all about outlining lips!

In terms of the craft of tattoo artistry, it does dove-tail to some extent with the cosmetician's craft, certainly. Your comment about knowing about two-tone outlining is a case in point.

 

[farouk]

Yes, was just looking at the poll and unsure. Really don’t have an answer.

@VictoryinJesus I guess you don't yet have any more clarity about a vote in the poll? :)

 

[farouk]

PS: @Waiting on him I guess you came to clarity about an answer to the poll fairly soon?

Are you talking to me?

 

[Jennifer]

Btw remember Jesus could be walking around with a tattoo..lol

Only insofar as there really is no industry that developed around shaking hands or fornication as a form of greeting. We do have an industry that has emerged around fornication now though, so we could make the same argument for pornography. It's an artform as well.

What does the camera man, boom operator, editors, etc. do when they're looking for employment, and the only thing available is some pornographic production company? There are a number of porn stars who are Christian, and openly point out that they are doing it for Christ. They quote the same passage that everyone quotes about whatever you do, do it for Christ.

Then there are those who claim it's perfectly okay to employ occult technology when reading scripture. They engage in divination, but since they're using the bible, it's okay.

We can do this all day long with one example after another. The bottom line is ultimately, that the law no longer means much of anything to Christians. It's almost completely irrelevant.

We can always come up with one rationale or justification after another for why we can ignore God's laws. That's child's play.

What I really like to see are those stories of people who decided that they can't justify breaking God's laws, and they make a movie about it like Hacksaw ridge. Of course we have an entire bible full of examples to strengthen our faith as well, but most people just look at them as fiction nowadays.

@Jennifer So did you figure yet how you might vote in the poll? :)

 

[farouk]

@ReChoired FYI...poll above...

 

[Jennifer]

@Jennifer So did you figure yet how you might vote in the poll? :)

Yes. I chose no because I don't like the idea of needles and what they can spread. No one should be poked with needles if they don't have to be, needles hurt. But the designs itself are pretty sometimes. I just would not encourage people to do that Christian or not. I also don't like the sight of people with a hundred tattoos covering thier body, that's totally unnecessary,, one or two is ok but having more then that does not look too good at least not in my eyes.. people can do what they want though, I just wouldn't..besides I couldn't imagine having an ex boyfriend initial on my bums arm or back knowing each time I look at it reminding me each time we are not together anymore..that's a tragic mess in its entirety...lol
