What about tattoos & piercings?

Hi @Lily76_ You recently posted this; my wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also, and I'm sure that other conversations have arisen as a result of her willingness to be tattooed in this way.
Some Christians feel strongly that it's best not to have any tattoos.
Sometimes Christians with existing tattoos that they don't like may opt to have it changed to something that is more reflective of what they believe; e.g., a Christian woman with the name of a non-Christian ex-bf (for instance, 'BILL') tattooed on her arm/wrist might opt to get a good artist to change 'BILL' to 'BIBLE', etc.

@Lily76_ Is there a good parlor near you? a good artist would be able to advise.
Part of it would also be deciding what design for the superimposed modification.

@Hazelelponi It's interesting that in Ezekiel 16.12 the Lord Himself is recorded as having given Zion a nose ring, at least symbolically.
I don't think we should get too concerned about whether ppl have piercings or not.

It is meat in good humor.
Revelation 7:3 The angel said, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we mark the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads.”
Revelation 9:4 They were told not to harm the grass or the trees or any other plant; they could harm only the people who did not have the mark of God's seal on their foreheads.

Check with health department or whoever regulates those things in your area to go where people get no infections. We have three polars in my area. One no one ever had problems health wise. Whereas, another one was well known for people getting infections and many wonder why they are still in business.

"how do folks feel about these" is rarely in line with Scripture, if ever (to start with). Thus the desires and the lusts of the flesh are dealt with according to Scripture, instead of followed or even permitted to go on.

As God Says in His Word: (I think a woe) "MY people have forgotten how to blush"...... (not as if a good thing, but a warning).....
Nothing worn today, perhaps for the last century, at beaches and pools, would probably have ever been permitted in any assembly of God's people just two centuries ago, and earlier. Being "more modest" than sheer indecent immoral suggestive attire is, is not itself a test or indicative of something good nor acceptable.

I think SDA are against them officially. Not postive on this, but pretty sure.

@Lily76_ Even if you decide not to get a lot more tattoos, yet the fact that you are considering having one of your existing designs covered with another design and the fact that the parlor near you seems to have the personal recommendation of other ppl you know, plus the fact that you have already been there and had satisfactory tattoo experiences: it may all add up to make it seem a suitable place to go if you do indeed think you need more inking.

@Daniel Marsh Yes, the fact that people keep going back to the same parlor for their next inkings is likely a good recommendation in itself about their satisfaction with the parlor and its apparent cleanliness, esp. if it's regularly inspected.

Yes, well, you as a more mature, confidently tattooed lady can clearly advocate for carefully planned tattoo experiences that won't be regretted, like you say.
I think it's probably a very good idea for the first parlor appointments to be for ear piercings. In the fulness of time, any inkings can come later.

Terry, Sir: even though it's greatly expanded recently, for some ppl it's long been regarded as a very classy thing to have done.

@Hazelelponi You said this, back a bit. It's good really to concentrate on the spiritual and inward life and not get too bothered about stuff like jewelry/piercings.

Well, yes, this seems more or less true. And this is why there is such a crying need for timely advice about, if it's going to be done, how to do it sensibly.
