C.T.C - Christian Tattoo Club

[alexier]

Are there any Christians Out there who have Tattoos?
I hear all the time about what it says it Leviticus but I think, for me anyway ,that I have had alot of chances to Minister the word when People have asked me about my Tattoos.
This is a place where we can talk about tatts and also what they mean to us as Christians.

I have four, and am planning two more.

I don't feel bad at all about having them either. I would love to chat about them.

 

[LutheranChick]

I have no tatoos myself, however I have a daughter and step daughter who both have several. There is nothing wrong with them. In fact, my step daughter has Luther's seal tatooed on the back of her neck. I do, however, believe it is entirely possible to have too many tatoos...

 

[3girls2dogs]

Mine are all where they can be covered. I always get them where I can cover them because I am a secretary, and it hinders my ability to get a job sometimes if I were to have them all out in the open. I got them all for me anyway.

I have one but I want at least one more. It's of a celtic cross. Yellow in the center and green spreading through out the rest of the cross. It has the words "Sola Fide" meaning Soley by faith and Ep. 2:8. My friend and I decided to have similar cross only hers was "Sola Gratia". They are so cool. She has more than I do, but just wait till I figure out what I want to do then I'll have more!

 

[GoNoles]

I have "two". My first was a cross on my outer calf and the second was an armband... ichthus symbols on the outside, a cross in the middle (outer arm) and the names of my wife and son between each of them. I love it!

Hiya I have two on either ankle

What kinda tattoo style do you guys like the most (meanin like biomechanical/tribal etc.)? For me I'd ideally like my body to be tattooed with a variety of styles..kinda so it looks like a collage. Its jus at its planning stages at the moment

 

[3girls2dogs]

The next tattoo I am getting is going to be based off of an Amy Brown fairy print. It's called "Sisters" and I am going to get it for my two younger daughters. Then I have another based off of Amy Brown that I am going to get for my oldest daughter.

Oh cool so three fairies altogether

Have ya thought about placement..?

 

[gemini_swede]

I have one on my upper back. It's a triquetra symbolizing my faith combined with lily of the valley that's a tribute to my mom who passed away.

The sisters tattoo I will get on my right shoulder. The other fairy tattoo I will get on the outside of my lower left leg.

Oh My Goodness - do you know that I completely forgot that I had posted up this thread


i'm in the middle of trying to get my main tattoo re-inked. WHen I was in my 20s I got Richey Edwards Tattoo (Useless Generation) tattooed on my arm. It's a beautiful one but I would prefer more of a christian wording now !!!

The other one I have on my back is a Heart with a Dove in it and an Olive leaf in its mouth.

I would love to have a scene from Revelation on my back - no doubt that would cost a fortune and sadly I'm

The three fairies together sounds great!!! That will look really effective!

Oh okay cool. I asked 'cause I was thinkin bout gettin a tattoo to represent my family. I'd like it to be a Nest, guarded by my parents n my sister and I in it...sounded similar

The Heart with a Dove in it and the Olive leaf in its mouth sounds nice, and I really like the symbolism it carries! (I'm assumin it's peace and love ;p)

I get what u mean bout the $$...there's tonnes of tattoo ideas I get sometimes but putting pen to paper, or rather ink to skin, is another matter altogether.

Oh and alexier I believe the three fairies will not be together, 3girls2dogs mentioned the placing above...perhaps you can post pics once you get em if you feel comfortable

Oh by the way, do you guys browse any sites in particular for flash or just tattoo ideas? For me its just www.bmezine.com or www.bodymod.org .

Has anyone ever heard of scarification. My arms are seriously scarred, and have thought about getting them covered with Tats however apparently scar tissue is not easy to tattoo over

yeah... tats don't do well over scars. have you seen an artist about it, though? Or maybe a dermatologist for suggestions?

I have a Unicorn on my thigh, and it didn't come out well because of scar tissue (stretch marks) there. They don't cover well, and believe it or not, that was my most painful tattoo.

As in the bodymod of Scarification? Heard of it n only seen pics, looks a lil too painful for me.

From what I've read on the internet scar tissue is harder too tatt, n more painful too but is still possible as long as it's well healed.

I did find a site called ChristianTattoo but it wasnt going anywhere! I will go and look at the other sites! I think there is definately a need for a great all-encompassing Tattoo site for Christians and people of Faith in general.

Has anybody wondered why people who don't call themselves religious get tattoos of Angels etc. DO you think that they do believe in God just not Church.
When I told my Vicar about my Tattoos (as I'm hoping to go into the Priesthood) he said that Tattoos were a real opportunity to talk about faith in the real world.

This site mentions something about Scars - But Ive seen Scarification and the scar tissue is alot deeper so I'm not sure!

Yeah it would be lovely to see some of your tattoos on here. I'll get mine photographed and post them up!

BTW - can anyone think of a good name for our little club and maybe a logo?)

Mine was the four leaf clover on my ankle. Never thought something so small could hurt so much

Has anybody seen Tas?
