Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

[Acolyte]

There seems to be. 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.

Oh my, time is running, time to pack hubby's lunch. Be back after bible studies.
Blessings.

Thanks for your comment; there is a 'not sure/rather not say' option in the poll... :)

I have two tattoos...

PS: Do they happen to be faith based? (proven conversation-starters).

One is Jesus Christ with the Sacred Heart on my chest, the other is the Grim Reaper on my arm, this was before I was found.

There should be a regret one on there than I would vote.

Interesting...so after you truly came to know the Lord did you maybe consider some clearer testimony to your new found faith through a faith based tattoo (Scripture, etc.?)

My faith based on is Christ on my chest.

Yes, well I suppose this sense would in some ways be covered by the 'never' option. (Although you did get 2 of them; when you got the 2nd, I guess you clearly weren't regretting the fact that you had gotten inked the first time...)

My faith based on is Christ on my chest.

So is there a MrsJohnPaul and if so does she have ink? these days in North America even more women than men get inked, according to statistics; 59%-70% or more of parlor clients are women, who often prefer faith/family designs.

...on my chest.

Do you have a preferred placement for the idea of a faith witness tattoo? My wife and I talked to a young lady with the wording of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area, which is more readily visible. I guess chest would be often covered (and might be more problematic for a lady in any case).

Yes, well as Christian young men and women come of age and pass into manhood and womanhood, and order themselves witness-friendly Scripture inkings, it's all a way of sowing the seed. Joyfully.

So was your inking a joyful experience?

 

[farouk]

:) i admire what they got. It isn't offensive to look at.

Anyway you must be completely accustomed to their ink by now.

 

[farouk]

I wasnt numbed. Didnt know there was.

So anyway, no regrets over your tattoo, then? :)

@Mandy FYI...poll and thread...

I have a tattoo, I am not ashamed of it, but it has no bearing on my salvation.
..I will defend any Christian who has a tat or wants one. I also agree that it makes a statement of freedom in Christ.

Yes, you sum it up well, for any Christian man or woman that's tattooed or desiring tattooing.

Do it confidently / don't do it. Period.

Do you also see that for some Christian men and women receiving suitable faith based tattoo designs might for them at least seem a compelling thing to do?

Yes I have nothing against people who get them, I just regret getting them.
