Tattoos?

[ProCommunioneFacior]

I notice that you are 16, so above all else you have to make sure your parents allow it.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

I didn't even see his age! Yes, BA, do get your parents' approval first, or wait until you are of age.

I've got a tattoo of Christ on my left arm, and the ND leprechaun on my right arm...

As far as the pics...I don't know how to post those, but I tried to find a link and now I am a bit confused? I found pics that vary GREATLY from each other. I thought the Sacred Heart was a heart encircled by thorns with a crown and a flame on top, and the Immaculate Heart was a heart pierced by a sword with a crown and flame on top? Well, now I've seen the SH as plain with the IH having the thorns, sword, etc...and the SH with the thorns, but no crown, and the IH with the sword but circled with roses?

Will the REAL SH and IH please step forward??

Immaculate Heart of Mary. Depictions vary, but there are usually swords piercing the heart. Like the one on the top.

This is the model Sacred Heart picture...

Of course, as with the Immaculate Heart, the tattooer would only do the heart. Unless you wanted to make a big project out of it.

hmm..

I am not trying to lay hot coals on anyone's head by sharing this, but a few years back I was considering getting a tattoo. I was in my mid twenties I think. I had three girlfriends who together with them we had an annual event where we rented a teepee at state park and partied all weekend and in a few drunken conversations, thought it would be real cool to go and teepees tatooed on our rears as a symbol of our female bonding. THANK GOD that never came to pass, because the idea now of me going into the doctors office when I'm 80 to get a hemerroid or something removed, and having a saggy teepee hanging there is pretty mortifying. The doctors and nurses would probably laugh hysterically.

Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with it really, especially if it has a religious connotation, but think long and hard before you do it. It's not permanent, but getting them removed is costly and expensive from what I've heard. And if you're still in your teens, give it some time. Wait til you at least 18 or something. Just my 2 cents, probably unwarranted but there you have it.

Who was it here that used to have the really cool avatar of the SH and IH? Just the hearts that is. I can't remember.

I don't think that anyone should have a tattoo. God made our body. We shouldn't adjust it.

Are your friends Christians?

LOL! like I'm doing now

Anyway, yes, I agree with you on that, but apparently if I get ot on my bicep, it shouldn't ever become really... er... "droopy" at least not compared to most other areas... that's just what I've been told though.

And as for those of you gangin' up on me about my age... It's probably a non-issue anyway because there is a very substantial chance of me moving out before the year's end, but you're all right and if I was still living with my parents when I got the tattoo, I would *probably* ask them first

I have a Tattoo its the Chinese Symbol for " Truth And Honesty" I got it because the truth is something you can always rely on and Honesty is the most important charasteric I look for in a person, but I do wish now that I would of thought about it a bit more instead of rushing into it, im just glad there not large there only very small and on my right shoulder, but I too have thought of getting a religious symbol, I would never get anything else, and sorta regreat getting my first tattoo cause it was a spur of the moment thing really.

 

[oldrooster]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with tattoos....

 

[DevotedFollower]

This makes me feel better as well cause I was wondering if it was wrong as well, Thanks for all the help everyone God Bless

I guess it would just be more motivation for you to stay in shape, keep pumping that iron.
