There's been much talk on these forums about tattoos. I've been having a strong desire to get a cross tattoo on the inside on my right arm, around the wrist area. For me it would symbolize my faith in God and if I added a scripture number then others might ask what it means, which would open the door for conversation and witnessing.
But then there are scripture versus that state not to pierce or mark our bodies and to remain humble and refrain from vanity. I understand that, but I wouldn't do it for vanity reasons.
I'm sorry to bring up the whole tattoo thing again, but I really need to hash this out in my own head because I don't see anything wrong with it IF you are doing it for good intentions. God knows our hearts and this is what I have always struggled with. Scripture vs our hearts. Sometimes it conflicts you know?
