I don't understand your question. You already read the scripture in my post. And I don't think it's a sin either so I'm glad we agree on that.

@Mayflower On these threads time moves forward so quickly, right? (I think you did recently mention about someone's inking that you newly noticed, anyway.)Let's see not sure how far back this was but I did space. And Thursday we didn't have church for Thanksgiving.

In Leviticus 19, the next verse seems to say about not trimming beards. Are NT preachers all wearing bushy beards? or is the Gospel, with its witness tools, the rule of the believer's life rather than the OT law?
@Faithbuilders It does seem to be done now wholeheartedly and naturally, right?
Although I think your main objection is to what other family members might think, right?

I see farouk I meant no offense, the day I have enough money I'll be removing mine, it's so expensive removing tattoos with laser and it's multiple sessions, I went to see a Doctor that does it, it's in the thousands because of the colors I have like yellow, it takes a different kind of laser and it'll take multiple sessions to completely erase that color, and I don't have the money right now.
It's your body you do what you want with it.
@JohnPaul You're in a particular situation, anyway; others are in theirs; including @FluffyYellowDuck who has commented recently; and others.
I guess one aspect for some ppl - and not others - would be if a woman for example has a tattoo of the name of an ex-bf, e.g., "BILL", and she is converted and clearly does not want to keep having it, and so she goes to a tattoo artist to fix "BILL" into something that is more consistent with her faith, e.g., "BIBLE": not hard to understand, right?
I guess everyone is in a slightly different situation, right?
@FluffyYellowDuck From the immediate years after 18 onward is the time when the motivation to have it done is probably the strongest, right? but anyway when Christian young people are so motivated, good if they want to express something faith based, Bible verse, etc.
(All the young people tattooed with Bible verses that I have talked to have seemingly have them done for evangelistic reasons, anyhow...)
@GodsGrace Well, it's the way supply and demand works, right? the supply will seek to meet the demand. (And demand for it there certainly is now...)
@Ezra
Like you yourself said a while back:
For decades soooo many women have worn pants.
For decades soooo many men have pierced their ears.
(You see where this is going, also?)
Now also, soooo many women get tattooed - even more women than men, apparently, according to statistics in North America; this includes many Godly, conservative women with faith based tattoos, to the extent that it has become very hard to argue now that it's somehow supposedly not ladylike to acquire some ink. Today's 18 year old girl transitioning to a woman and who might typically get a tattoo at about that time might conceivably have both a mother (and in some cases even a grandmother) who already has a little ink also.
While it's certainly not necessary, it's hardly unladylike.
@MatthewG So do you wish that you had gotten the uncompleted on the underside on the top instead, so it could be finished very visibly?
