@Wynona Great ref. to the fear of the Lord in verse 11 of Psalm 86 there....

@Mantis It's a good photo on @1stCenturyLady 's avatar, isn't it? :)

@marks Watching indeed means keeping our eyes upon the Lord; Psalm 141.8: "But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute" and keep "looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12.2).

@MatthewG In terms of historical precedents, as @Heart2Soul says, it's become almost the norm for members of some professions to get inked up evidently enthusiastically: As with health professionals/nurses, for example, who seem to use tattoo parlors with steady determination and use their ink...

@MatthewG Reminds me of 2 Peter 3.18: "...Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ".

@MatthewG I saw this quote about how inking spread, historically. "...one of the major resurgences of interest in tattoos in Europe occurred among 19th century high society Victorian women (as well as men), after British explorers .. brought back the practice to Britain. .. [It] grew during...

@MatthewG What the Word says about the Lord Jesus and His work at the Cross, and one's experience in faith, should tie together...

Some relevant matters there; this is a video I already posted not long ago from Devoted Ink: It's a video about a Christian artist's tattoo parlor. I was particularly struck by the young lady's comments about Romans 8; and it seems from the short video that as Christian young ppl get inked...

@Pearl On the one hand, sound, basic activities in a local church are mapped out in Acts 2.42. On the other hand, if I joined a perfect local church, I would spoil it..... :)

@prism All the young ppl tattooed with Bible verses with whom I have spoken seem to have had theirs done as a Gospel opportunity, anyway.... In some ways I kind of wish more Christians worked in tattoo parlors, don't you?

@prism Great verses there!

@Eternally Grateful Another way of stating it may be: Are the Scriptures truly sufficient? (I do believe they are.)

@Mantis Oh okay! :)

@Heart2Soul I wasn't particularly trying to advise; just mentioning my own thought.... :) Yes, good to proceed prayerfully, like you say....

@amadeus Hoping you will be well soon; praying...

@Mantis Great photo; must be hard to keep the camera still sometimes when an animal like that is close by...

@Heart2Soul Sometimes in a dialogue the interlocutors are so far apart that continuing does not make a lot of sense, right?

@Addy Doubles (or multiple holes) have been quite the trend for years and years. But so is minimalism...all those now long grown up teens with multiple holes from years back, who now prefer completely bare earlobes... :) Lots of men and boys have it done to their earlobes as well and I guess...

@Addy You could say that again.... I'd rather concentrate on what the Lord definitely reveals in His Word....

@Mantis Good for Christians to try to avoid giving the wrong impression, right?
