• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It is the name of my blog and I love Koi fish. Their colors are just like people and can represent our attitudes towards each other.

This should help you get the idea...Haha!
It must have been quite a milestone in your experience to have it done! a great piece of art.

So was it your first ink and are you now done getting inked?

No more plans to get another. It is tempting, but I fear God more than the pain involved. Probably should not have gotten it, but of course we give in to sin easily as seen with my two tattoos.

You must know your own mind.

Some - in fact, many - Christians get faith based tattoo designs (e.g., Bible ref. or verse or Christian fish sign <>< or wrist, etc.) as a proven effective tool in witness.

I expect you've seen faith based ink?

I saw an extract about how widespread it is in the Bible Belt.
