@soul man So how is your wife doing now...?

@soul man One can indeed see how it is the Cross of Christ which ultimately defines everything the believer is and should be.... This is one reason why the Christ-centred passage in Philippians 2 is so searching and beloved.

@marks I saw a video in which a lady explained that the inks that are now used are a lot safer than they used to be...

@Rita They are an acquired taste, certainly, but they can be delicious...:)

@Mantis Similarly to the comments on the other thread, I think those tattoo artists would also agree that their work is a small amount of real insight and inspiration, while so much of it is the sheer business of hard work and toil... Often its the tattooee that is heartened by the seeming...

@Mantis Reminds me of Mark Twain talking about writing; it's 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration...
