Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

[farouk]

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

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

Yeah, I voted on when I felt like I was ready for a tattoo - but I know other people think differently.

Thanks for contributing to the poll!

Yes, even among young ppl who know they will probably get inked sooner or later, it can be wise to wait a few years until they have a really clear idea about what permanent design they really want, to avoid regrets. 'Between 26 and 40' seems to be a quite popular option, doesn't it?

 

[farouk]

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.

It would seem that like any artistic role that becomes one's profession, one needs a lot of flair and zeal for it to become an option which will drive one's career aspiration.

So a young Christian man or woman who has artistic flair would also need that extra sense of zeal to be driven by the idea that yes, faith based tattoos are really worth giving and receiving. (If this makes sense?)

Not to mention that piercings and tattoos become very addicting to many.

True. (There are both bad and benign 'addictions', I suppose.)

@CharismaticLady Any more significant ink episodes just lately?

 

[farouk]

Bought her a lot of new paint the other day. Trying to support her in what ever she chooses.

Do you think your daughter would get a "SOLA" tattoo? (to complement the ones she already has)

@Waiting on him PS: I know not everyone would get specifically faith based tattoo designs, would they, though?

It’s all I would consider

I'm sure this is true as far as you yourself are concerned.

@Waiting on him It used to be such a man thing to do; like, "Do it to feel macho" (military men, bikers). But this has changed so much; now it seems to be about expressing something specific, right? Like yours would be really specific.

To me it’d be very specific.

I still don't like them on women. It somehow lowers them I think.

@Hisman FYI, I saw this report in Huffington Post:

' "...Most of my clients are in the older bracket," Gallo-Kohlas told The Huffington Post. "We see a lot of women in their sixties and seventies getting their first tattoos." Gallo-Kohlas recalls a woman in her sixties who got a tattoo because everyone in the golf clique at her gated community had one. It seemed like the thing to do in order to fit in.'

Kinda like-someone jumps off a bridge, but to be popular we must all jump too.

Bless you!

@Waiting on him Not sure I quite agree with the analogy in @Hisman's post, above... :)

 

[farouk]

I think I may have already said I would like angel wings if I ever got one. ...

@Heart2Soul Do you really agree with @Hisman 's comparison in post #1193, above? :)

Not sure about the comparison, Sir; but thank-you for the comment, anyway... :)

 

[farouk]

it is really large.

So is it looking good already? :)

Are you trying to distract me from that other thread? Lol....I don't know about the tattoo. Haven't talked to her in awhile. Been busy.

 

[farouk]

Possible then that its further stages are already being inked in... :)

 

[farouk]

I already have tattoos and have booked in for another one soon.

Yes, XhannahX, it's not unusual if gotten inked already to get more.

Your earlier point also about ppl getting Scripture tattoos: yes, it's very widespread.

Once this thread and poll run their course, it would be good to discuss maybe in another thread about whether more Christians working as tattoo artists would be an advantage.
