I don't think you're getting these pics from people you know. I'll bet they're internet novelties. And maybe they've been in prison, like I've mentioned. These certainly aren't typical.He is not the only one. View attachment 218566

What I wonder about is why anyone would want such photos of themselves all over the internet. I am concerned about a photo of my face being on the internet, much less my naked body.
Your face is far more identifiable than your body, but the tattoo itself is identifiable.
If they keep it covered, probably no one will know it's them in the photo.
For some reason the video isn't playing.Someone asked me recently what I believe about tattoos. I’ve been a missionary for a while and have heard this a lot, so I decided to make a video about it. Just thought I would post here and get some opinions!
How many of these "coming of age" folks have tatoos covering more than 20% of their body?
Hi, Sir; I guess what you say is up to a point, accurate; fact is that on occasions such as weddings when as you imply young women are likely to want to look their most elegant it is indeed likely that many of them will expect to show their ink; my wife and I were at a family wedding recently and some of the members of the bridal party showed their ink in ways that were neither unexpected nor distasteful.Just my experience, it seems like from tail end of Gen X down thru Millennials, most Americans have multiple tattoos.
A poster in one of our tattoo forums mentioned the frequency of Biblical passage ink, which to me seems to going from brief, simple quotes to full-on Gettysburg Addresses covering forearms & ribs..
Another thing that kills me, when you see a Millennial woman getting elegant for a wedding, or special event, & she has a Punisher skull, or possessed/zombie porcelain doll, tattooed on her neck, etc.
..my wife and I were at a family wedding recently and some of the members of the bridal party showed their ink in ways that were neither unexpected nor distasteful.
Well, 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 have it done. I'm not sure about such ink being as a result supposedly of Marxist culture...Now it's completely normalized to see American women w/ink all over their bodies. Moms, professionals, high school kids, etc. I believe it has a lot to do with the demonization of traditional feminine elegance.. Essentially, cultural-Marxist' pop culture is making it seem quaint and/or weak to have a traditional female aesthetic..
It's interesting that the previous verse in Leviticus seems to say about not trimming one's beard; do preachers shave? if they do, they are maybe backhandedly admitting that they are in a context of New Testament believers under grace and not under the law; that they are not Old Testament Jews in the land under the law.I think it is sad that people get tattoos, especially because it is against Lev. 19:28. Skin is always much better without stains. But there is also good side on them, they tell lot about the person. Unfortunately for me, the message is always negative.
bbbbbbb:IMO tattoos are way better than tobacco.

I guess the short answer is that ppl get tattoos for a wide variety of reasons. A truly huge variety, in fact. (I guess one could almost compare getting tattoos to Mexicans crossing the US border, for example: a truly huge amount do it for a variety of reasons; one reason why one person does it does not prove or unprove the reason for others doing or not doing it.)FF, Fair enough..
But I'm not really addressing a single, pleasant tattoo. I'm wondering about the widespread tattooing hysteria that has been going on since the late 90s.
Prior to that, ink usually reflected a heavy, traumatic experience..
Guys in prison gangs, veterans, outlaw bikers, etc. Ink showed they had been thru, or were going thru something that that was warping or hardening them.
So now I'm looking at entire generations getting covered in ink.. I'm wondering what is warping them. I believe it's cultural-Marxist' influences.
If u cite an uplifting Biblical tattoo to demonstrate the positive nature of/influence behind tattooing, conversely how do u interpret the Punisher & Misfits skull neck tattoos, the pentagrams, the goofy, cookie cutter Chinese letters, face tattoos, the names of out-of-wedlock kids tattooed/listed on women's arms. What influence is underwriting them (?)
Peace.

It's Negativity of message might indeed be your experience; as mentioned earlier, 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 also as a result of her willingness to have it done; such designs are proven conversation-starters. This aspect seems positive, rather than negative.
