I didn't find the young lady diabolical that was motivated to get the John 3.16 design.

Satan comes disguised as an angel of light.

This begs the questions, Why would the enemy of our souls focus attention on a Spirit-inspired Scripture which has been a source of immense blessing in the breaking down of the spiritual strongholds of the enemy of our souls? and why would a young Christian want to point people to the verse if in fact it was supposed to advance the enemy of our souls?

@OzSpen has highlighted Kevin Naigama's use of exactly this great Bible verse in his ink.

... Even on my ears being pierced.

PS: But doing the ear piercing seems so widely to be a natural development that you do at around a certain age. I'm sure you don't regret yours.

These days, a bit later, getting the tattoo is kind of similar, I guess, if this makes sense?

When I was growing up, the guys with tattoos were the rough, rebellious types. Now, it's different.

@Prayer Warrior Yes, now it's very different, isn't it?

BTW, did you see / vote in the poll, above?

Sorry, Farouk, I kind of left the tattoo issue behind. I've had more pressing issues in the forum. Maybe later.

 

[farouk]

I suspect you and I come to different conclusions.

Much love!

I guess so...

Oh I agree; lots of pressing issues out there. I guess it's just that now, for a lot of Christians, they would say that it just feels really good to have a really wholesome faith ink experience at some stage in their lives, anyway, which does also undoubtedly open up a lot of opportunities for tattoo artist work.

Also the small of the back for some reason.

It's bony there, yes. Some Christian women seem to say they don't like to do it there. But is also a very widely preferred placement.

I guess a Christian artist would expect to do a lot of ink at that placement, anyway.

I'm too old to get any with my skin, but I do love to watch Ink Master and any other creative type shows of art.

Yes, it can be amazing to see a real work of art gradually appear, as the artist on the ink show slowly and painstakingly pumps the design in. The lower back placement that you mentioned back a bit is not for the fainthearted, but artists seem to do a lot of inkwork there, anyway.

It may be called Ink Master, although what with the successful artists on it now it could also be called Ink Lady or whatever; what with all the creativity it evokes, it's such a ladylike as well as manly thing to do now.

@John Caldwell FYI, did you see / vote in the poll, above, yet?

(Can't remember if I asked you yet...)

 

[John Caldwell]

Yep.

 

[farouk]

Yep.

Thanks for your vote, @John Caldwell !

Seems like you don't have strong settled views, one way or another, on the profession.

(There's a lot of demand out there, anyway...)

 

[bbyrd009]

lotta demand for crack too bro

to justify the defacing of God's image

FYI, actually many mature women are now doing it:

I'm a cleanskin..
My dear Dad had two tattoos but that was from his navy days.
I have noticed however that lots of young girls have them and what is really noticeable is a huge amount are women say around their sixties .

Oh okay!

I thought it was an interesting quote, anyway, didn't you?
