@Pearl So were you at first just a teeny bit surprised when you saw that your daughter had gotten inked up since you last saw her?
Well it was a bit of a surprise when I found out as I'd never suspected.
@Pearl After all these years she had it done, right?
It used to be such a man thing, overwhelmingly, to do (sailors, bikers), but not any more now.
But I suspect you would never have guessed that she, too, would think getting inked up was such a nice thing for a woman to do, after all these years, right?
@Heart2Soul Although a several years ago a lot of ppl used to be a bit shy about getting tattooed, it shows now that ppl including women can do it with confidence, right?
(Especially when the artwork is - like you say - so good!)
@Heart2Soul Thanks for your 'like'; seems like you agree also about ppl now having the confidence to do it, right?
@TLHKAJ They are so widespread, anyway, now, aren't they?
(Hard now to begrudge the young ppl even teeny ones...)
I think GodsGrace is right in her comment:

Since they are features now of even the most conservative and modest of young wearers, it does open up a lot of potential for faith based tattoo designs, seeing as it's so very widespread among young people especially.

Just because they're widespread doesn't mean we should encourage them as something needful or godly. I don't condemn my 2 daughters who have small tattoos, or others who are inked to the hilt, but they bring more attention to the flesh than to the spirit when taken overboard.
@TLHKAJ I was thinking of GodsGrace's comment:
GodsGrace said:
Like your daughters, for example, for them it seems to have become something quite natural to do at a certain age, but even doing it ppl can remain modest and quite conservative, still, can't they?
I honestly don't see the need to focus on it. I mentioned already that they didn't choose it because they were following peer influence or pressure or because they hit a certain age. It is what it is.
