Yes I did read it....and it is becoming a norm with health professionals.
@Heart2Soul It's not that a nurse, with her training and scrubs uniform, is supposedly not complete without a tattoo.

But so many nurses and other health sector workers expect to have inking done that, yes, like you say, it's becoming an (unregretted) norm.

I don't know if either of your daughters work in the health care sector, but I guess they don't regret theirs at all.

She’s not to crazy about the ink, she just wants to support the girl like me.
Hi @Waiting on him . Because it's so thoroughly mainstream now, maybe @VictoryinJesus can rest assured about family who are into ink.

Saw this quote, FYI:

Since it's so thoroughly mainstream now, no wonder so many Christians want to use faith based tattoos as witness tools.

I think just about everyone I see on a daily basis has, at the very least one tattoo. I do not see anything wrong with it...

Hi @Nancy Well, it seems to be completely mainstream (and no wonder, then, that so many Christians choose to use the medium as a witness tool...)

It's so thoroughly established, FYI:

Not at all, she’d most likely cover her whole body if she could afford it.
@Waiting on him To think that it was once overwhelmingly a man thing to do; now for so many young women as young adults onward it's become a completely mainstream, unregretted and controlled addiction (if this is not tautology...? and maybe addiction is not the best word anyway.)

@Heart2Soul Yes it's becoming a real norm with nurses and health professionals as it's done so confidently now by nurses, right?

(Whether by young nurses right from the start of their careers, or by older nurses now getting tattooed belatedly; it's becoming the norm; it seems for so many it's now the thing to do.)

@Heart2Soul PS: I even saw a quote from the mother of a young woman who wanted a career in the health sector, I think, and who advised her daughter to keep her tattoos conservative; and she said that she herself was a recruiting manager in a health facility. And this is the point: the mom herself admits that she herself was just about to get tattooed also... (The underlying point was: health sector professionals need to exercise wisdom in receiving their inkings; but that discreet inkings are seemingly pursued confidently at all levels of the health sector.)

No, and most of us are concerned that she may want more :D
@Helen: If we maybe figure that these days getting a bit more ink is probably not too different from wanting and getting extra ear piercings, then perhaps it would be sensible not to overreact...? :)
