Is it possible for a sinner who has a "666" tattoo to get saved?

[Jesus' Follower]

Strong in Him:

I hear what you say, although I realize that these extra comments might be for you merely a moot point. Regarding nurses, so many of whom have it done (there's truly been a sea change over the decades), there are many of them who actively regard their tattoos as a sign of being authentic and effective professional women when dealing with people, it would seem.

Even from a neutral, pragmatic perspective, I guess the extrapolation can be made that, since so many professionals such as nurses find their tattoos highly effective ice breakers and authenticity symbols, then again from a pragmatic perspective it's not surprising also that so many Christians find their faith based designs to be such effective conversation starters.

(If you get my drift?)

Blessings.

Tattoo's tell a story in some people's life which is great and they are conversation starters.

Ok, theoretical question here: Let's say we have a criminal who receives a 666 tattoo on his forehead or right hand when he's in prison. However, later on in life they regret it and have it removed. Is it possible for that person to get saved or no?

First off we are all sinners, second 666 is just a number, and third Jesus does the saving and happens to be bigger than a number.

Just to add, in the nursing profession, it seems like it's something that they generally expect to do:

In the ER I work at, I'd say something like 60-70% of nurses have at least one tattoo.

Everyone I work or worked with has tattoos.

The majority of nurses that I know have at least one tattoo, if not several. .. I have three

I have 13 tattoos and in scrubs, only 3 are visible. I work as a unit manager in a LTC facility where most of the staff have both tattoos and piercings.

A reasonable extrapolation would be that Christians who get faith based ones have a lot of confidence in them as a conversation starting means or icebreaker.
