Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

[TLHKAJ]

The elite cult stole her with the help of the corrupt cult-run "legal" system and government. We've known that all along. They wanted her because of her desired bloodlines. And they didn't appreciate that their access to my granddaughter would be greatly limited because my daughter and granddaughter lived in my home. So they lured my daughter away from me, and were able to steal her baby. Then they placed her with a cult family ....illegally. It's never been a question as to who or why.

So sorry at your daughter's dreadful and most painful experience...

Thanks ....and then they got one of their cronies (a retired police officer) to put a bullet hole in back of my house taking a shot at me, just to send a message that they can do what they want and no one can or will do a thing about it. (But God!!!)

I don't think they have got any new ones as of late.

PS: And maybe they wouldn't even tell you if they did....

 

[farouk]

PS: I do agree with the poster recently about tattoos not really being needed.

(Though a lot of Christian young ppl do seem to find Bible verse, etc., tattoo designs to be effective as tools in witness conversations.)

From back a while

I thought about getting a tattoo of an eagle carrying two roses (I had it in mind as a kind of standard that you might put on a flag), but I haven't done that ....

@michaelvpardo Intriguing symbolism there....(I guess you didn't actually do it yet...?)

 

[farouk]

Personally I don't like to stand out in a crowd. I like to be unnoticed.
I can understand how some would like the opportunity to explain their beliefs through symbols and outward appearance.
I am not one of those. But I can still understand it.

@Ziggy Anyway, the young lady with John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area with whom my wife and I spoke actually seemed quite shy.

Like, she didn't seem at all to be a demonstrative person.

There was also something of an inner calm and determination about her John 3.16 tattoo.

I think Christian young ppl do it with a very compelling determination, even though some of them may be rather shy.

 

[Lambano]

@Lambano Not for you, but you don't anyway like the look of brandings such as this?

Hmm. You gonna go get a brand and post the photo here?

 

[farouk]

Awesome looking!!!! I wouldn't go through all that pain.

@Ronald Nolette Well, she probably regarded the discomfort of all the ink being pumped in as a kind of investment into future opportunities to talk to ppl about the Scriptural SOLAs message in the tattoo, right?

 

[farouk]

If it works- go for it. I have quizzed folks with massive body art. Very careful to be harmless but asked them the whys of it. I have learned a lot from them.

@Ronald Nolette

These days young ppl especially can get tattooed with a lot of social confidence.

Not unusually it's conservative minded ones that do it.

When my wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 inked onto her wrist area, she seemed a rather shy young lady. But it's something they know they can do with a lot of social confidence and so for them I guess it's a kind of safe investment into the likely certainty of witness talking points from the Word.

Once again it all boils down to the heart. Why are we marking our body?

That's a pretty one!

@Heart2Soul It can be done today with a lot of social confidence and she probably had it done because she thought it was a really good investment in likely witness conversations when the SOLAs of Scripture would become a talking point.

All the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have talked seem to have had them done for witness tool reasons.

Yes most people relate a symbol to the source it represents...i.e. cross=Christianity, a red character with a pitchfork and flames around it=the devil...

@Heart2Soul Even a little Christian fish sign <>< on a wrist, etc., can become a witness talking point...

@Heart2Soul

Dave L even regrets not having done it.

I think when I was a young Christian, a scripture or Christian art Tattoo would have helped me stake a claim as a Christian and made people aware early on. It would have helped sort out friends from the start. So I regret not having that as an option during that time. .. If I found myself in a similar situation to when I was young, I'd probably have a tattoo.

It's clear how so many Christian young ppl today think a simple little faith design inking can really help their personal witness, anyway.

No and probably never will.

What's wrong with a T-shirt proclaiming our faith in Him, it is something you can actually remove. And change, without marring the skin He gave to us. And, a Tee Shirt is not permanent.
Or, how about the way we live? It should always line up with His commands.

So I can imagine them having gone with joy into the tattoo parlor.

@Jim B FYI.....another thread I started...

Here is an interesting quote from Amanda Wachob, qu. in femaletattooers dot com:

(It shows that tattoos do indeed work as conversation-starters.)

“It’s amazing how my tattoos have connected people. And given people a reason to speak to each other when maybe there wasn’t a reason before to talk to a stranger.”
