Questions Wanted RE: Tattoos, Piercings, etc.

[GoingByzantine]

We are made in God's image, so what need is their to deform something that is so beautiful? We are essentially telling God that he did a bad job with his creation, and that we know better then him when we get a tattoo.

Our bodies will eventually be resurrected, and the tattoos and piercing will likely all still be there...scars of our earthly past.

Which one is better for someone, to have the tattoo done on their own or have someone to come with them?

A lot of ppl do like to go with a friend to the parlor, for some encouragement and support.

That's true.

 

[faroukfarouk]

That's true.

So did you usually go on your own, so far?

Yes, I've gone on my own so far as I'm used to the pain.

Yes, I think that the taking someone with you to the parlor, thing, probably applies mostly to ppl having it done for the first or second time.

Whereas you yourself are a bit of a veteran, and have learned to be tough, right?

It's your 'prove you are a tough woman' moment, I guess.

 

[faroukfarouk]

Wonder why some who are against tattoos have pierced ears.

From whatever perspective - for or against - it's a good question, isn't it?

So did you receive any answer/clarification lately to your question?

 

[faroukfarouk]

I almost didn't read this thread about tattoos...

tickingclocker:

So are you now glad that you did?

It's a very topical subject, anyway.

LOL, nope, dont need to prove anything. Its just a tattoo.. not a tough mudder (which id also like to do just for funzies)

Some ppl really don't like the interior of tattoo parlors, do they?

 

[Runswithdogs]

LOL, dont think tattoo parlors is his issue (Hes quite happy for me to get one) This is the guy that went to visit a friend (years ago) in hospital & passed out when the nurse went to give his friend a shot.....

Oh okay! so he's quite positive about the enhancement potentials for you, offered by a parlor, then?

Just the fact that the ink is shot in with needles.

 

[Runswithdogs]

Hes not bothered by me getting a tattoo, says if it makes me happy then do it.. as long as he dosent have to watch be around needles/blood. (not sure which one is worse for him, I cut my finger really badly once & he turned white as a sheet & almost passed out)

Well, this at least must be some sort of relief for you...

 

[Runswithdogs]

Mmm.. one of my criteria for getting a tattoo was that my husband wouldn't have any issues with it.. which he doesn't.. if it bothered him for any reason then I would have chosen not to get one. No matter how much I would like to.

Well, great! I do strongly sense, however, that you indeed very much would like to.
