I have a Tattoo question

I know we are not suppoe to look into the things of darkness. But my understanding of it is that often it's pretty well expected that they will get an infection, but they usually get so drunk they don't care.

 a lot of christian artists have tats

Todays tatooing practices are like going into a surgery room, my wife had her tattoo fixed and they barely allow anyone in the room, and the tattooist looks like a doctor!

I have a cool Black Widow tattoo on my knee and a little cross on my shoulder, but no tats anywhere else, Tattoo's are just so permanent I probably won't get anymore.

I'm not sure that I can comment on the backs of girls tattoos, I like some of them, I'm not a real big fan of them I am not sure God likes them.

And yes trendy is the word.

I know a guy who had a wedding band tatooed on his ring finger--he was working construction and could not safely wear a wedding ring. Then the marriage broke up--she was unfaithful-- and now he is stuck with a permanent wedding ring. Kinda hard to date in that case.

Sweet though, if the marriage hadn't broken up

Actually, where I come from, men don't generally wear wedding rings. Women do, though, but not men. Most of the men in my family (except my dad) don't wear a wedding ring.

Wierd, eh?

I wanted "BABYLOVE" (nickname for my wife) tatooed on my left chest, above my heart!!!

I didn't do it because I felt that there were more important things to do in my life than that, and also that I would not be honouring God, but that's me personaly!!

"Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." - Leviticus 19:28  - I have often wondered why the Lord told his chosen nation not to do this???

Stay blessed

Well, this subject hits pretty close to home.  I have 9 tattoos.  I don't regret any of them.  They don't change me as a person, nor do they change my faith in God or my belief in Him.  I have never been drunk when I got one (reputable places won't even let you in if your are intoxicated), nor have any of mine been infected.  They are required by law to used new, sterile needles, and if you take care of it the way they tell you to, they don't get infected. 

I have each of my daughters names down my forearms.  When people ask me about them, I get to brag about my girls.  I have my wife's initials in Celtic script on my left arm.  When people ask me, I get to brag about my wife.  I have a large cross on my arm. I have a sparrow on my chest because his eye is on me, just as the scripture says. I have a back piece of a man looking towards Heaven.  See it and other Christian themed tattoos:

When visible, it is a great conversation piece, and a great witnessing tool.     

I will get more, because I am an artist, and I am using my body as a canvas.  My wife likes them (yes, she has several).  More importantly, they mean something to me.  They display my love and commitment to my family, and my faith in God.  If anyone were to judge me differently for my choice of expression, they would be in the wrong.  If you like tattoos, and want one, get it.  If you don't, don't.  In reference to the Levitical Law, I believe I am saved by God's grace and no longer subject to it. 

Oh, and to answer the original question, it is just a trendy place for girls to get them.  Easily hidden, easily displayed when desired.           

I've always wanted a tattoo but I've never had the money and besides I would have to pray about first to see if it would be alright with the Lord. If I felt right with the Lord I would probably go and get one that is if I had the money.

It isn't?

I don't have a problem w/ it. I personally don't like the demonic kinds. I recently had a body piercing done. And y u ask, well because i wanted to do it 4 a long time and i decided i should just get it over with and get it out of my system, sorta..And boy did it hurt. I won't b doing that again. The feeling of a thick *** needle going through my flesh w/o any anesthesia is not my cup of coffee.
