I have often pondered the idea of a tattoo that reflects my faith.....never know when it might be a witness to someone....would definitely be a conversation starter about Jesus!
So are you any further forward with your design research and ideas? I guess it's not so much that the experience of being inked would make you feel refreshed as a person, as a woman (though this might feature in your thinking, too, maybe); would it maybe offer you mainly a sense of joy that you are communicating testimony?

No.....I probably will never get it done....I recently had someone do just a "dot" on my inner ankle area and frankly I don't like the pain.....IT"S NOT FOR ME!....lol. :D

@Heart2Soul : PS: Not saying of course that you 'ought' to do it; but noted that you had said you had 'often pondered' it.

There was a quote from the Bible Belt anyway which seemed to show how widespread it is.

Hi @farouk,

She keeps it well hidden, so I have not seen it for a very long time. ;)

PS: If not for you, do you think it can for some ppl be a healthy, beneficial test of endurance and wholesome experience to get tattooed (especially if faith based)?
I have no problems with others choices to get a tattoo....I really like some of them.

Seems like you have learned / are learning really to appreciate the look of well injected, tastefully needled skin. (I guess for some people "looks good" and "feels good" are two sides of the same coin, you may agree?)

Little wonder that for so many people it seems to be a rite of passage to adulthood.

I do have an M.S. in counseling psychology but I find the Bible to be much more wise than any system invented by man.
The thought I had was that a bondservant's piercing of the ear would be a humbling experience to show whose permanent service s/he was now in. Maybe submitting to a faith based tattoo would be similar, do you think?

Well, I suppose you could look at it like that. ;)
