PS:

Placement is also part of it, and important.

What's best as a placement can differ sometimes between the genders.

Really good designs like this can be good on the chest for a man, but clearly for a woman may work better on upper arm or shoulder. I'm sure you've been considering the various placement aspects, right?
I find it difficult to believe that this childish talk and pursuit is taking up space in the minds of those who call themselves Christians!

One of my favorite psalms is the 22nd when Jesus is telling about what he’s experiencing on the cross
The sufferings of Christ in the Psalms and Isaiah are indeed such a deep subject. The language is so vivid and the unity of the Scriptures between Old and New Testaments is demonstrated so clearly.

The tattoo in the picture in the post you quoted seems to have been painful...but I reckon the wearer felt it was really worthwhile, don't you think?

I’d have to be pretty serious to endure that

And although they are exposed to them, they still prefer the temporary transfers. Lol

So many people are exposed to them now, aren't they?

Some respond to being exposed to them, some do not. I guess you yourself responded positively.

For a lot of Christians the potentials of faith based designs make them respond positively to the idea.

Sorry I most have posted to the wrong one. I think I could handle that one
Actually I think you quoted a text post rather than a photo, in any case.

The photo shows a woman's wrist; and it anyway seems the case that many women find it doable to be needled at a wrist placement.

It all depends in any case how big the person wants the tattoos to be, and how much writing is going to be included in the tattooed quote.

(I think your daughter would probably regard herself as having quite high pain tolerance...)

...the one on his back depicting Jesus' death on the cross took 40 hours to complete.

OzSpen:

This is a long sitting - probably divided up into several sessions.

It certainly takes a lot of dedication, doesn't it?

It used to be very much a man thing - and still is - but in North America even more women than men endure the inking needle, according to tattoo parlor statistics.
