PS: Did you get a satisfactory answer yet, about the ink colours?If I havent missed it, I would be interested in knowing How different colours "take" or hold up.. Ie are there colours to avoid or plan to get re-inked in the future, due to issues with fading? Colours that hold there tone best?.
tickingclocker:Freedom scares some people, even when it comes to freedom in Christ. They'd much rather have walls and clearly defined behavioral guidelines as familiar touchstones instead. (Why so many cling to OT guidelines.) Give them a list of do's and don'ts and their faith is content. This is the lazy Christian who does not wish to think about "working out his own salvation". Or, as someone once described them: they are the black or white perfectionists of the spiritual set.
Those excited by being given freedom in Christ know all they will ever need... is Jesus Christ.
You mean like, as some teach that speaking in tongues is supposedly initial evidence of faith, so also a cross tattoo is supposedly initial evidence of unbelief?As a declaration of where someone is at spiritually, then a tattoo can be a wonderful aid for the Christian.
...when we see a cross tatooed on someones body that they will in all probability be in need of Salvation.
If we take this point even further beyond what Paul intended, then we could also say that when someone injests poison to committ suicide that their drinking of the poison does not reflect their heart attitude or their desperation which would obviously be taking Pauls point way beyond what he intended. Paul was undoubtedly talking about food and drink and not with poison or with how those who are demonically oppressed cut their bodies with knives or with how some desecrate their bodies with tattoos.The apostle Paul said that it's not what we put in the body that defiles, but that which comes from the heart. He said it might not be healthy, but it didn't make you unclean.
Well, you're a bit of a veteran at it already, so you can handle it, can't you?Yes, I've gone on my own so far as I'm used to the pain.
Hi Ms. afishamongmany (great screen name, btw!),“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined" to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1Corinthians 6
Without doubt some will say that the words above are to do only with sexual immorality and nothing to do with tattooing our bodies. I would disagree. The principle outlined here in God's word as to how we (Christians) should view and treat our physical bodies has a wider application and should be take very seriously.
@faroukfarouk - I'm puzzled by how taken up you are with this topic. I'm also puzzled as to why the OP chose the general theology forum to ask for content for his podcast? Still that's life so often, puzzling.
Go well

tturt:Wonder why some who are against tattoos have pierced ears.
So did you indeed go by yourself in the end, when you went to the parlor?Im not taking anyone....
Sounds like you really wanted it to be a private session rather than one when someone came to give you moral support!Yup.
I like the term needle work!I wasen't bothered either way, no point in having DH in just because though.. he wouldent have been able to stand watching the needle work.
Maybe your personal flair instead is for the inking sort of needle work...Well.. I sliced "my" nail off with a pair of scissors once & almost had to call 999 for "him" LOL
You dont wanna see what my "needlework" looks like.... lets just say my mom gave up trying to teach me to sew/cross-stitch/knit & all other related skills..
I can sew a button on though!
Well, now that you've been on the receiving end of inking needle work, did you ever consider learning tattoo artistry with an apprenticeship in a parlor?Ive plenty of artistic talent.. just not when theres a needle/thread involved
