@soul man Good post! :)

@Abaxvahl It's very much an individual thing and initiative. It's this kind of picture which forms a perfect response to those who might try to make out that esp. for women it's merely a 'modern' innovation.

@jessiblue I do love how verses 57 - about the victory in the risen Christ - and verse 58, with its strong exhortation to labour faithfully - are linked in the passage! :)

@soul man Like you said: @soul man While for young men and women coming of age, getting tattoos is so widely seen as an adulthood transitioning experience that they appreciate and expect, yet when Christian young ppl are truly considering faith based witness inkings, the desire to do it and...

@Addy I'm sure they must be times of blessing and meditation, quietly... :)

@Wynona Reformed theologians tend to hold from Scripture (Ephesians 2, etc.) that regeneration precedes faith.

@Rita Oh really? I didn't know that.. ty... Yes, you said round about 14; it's about when gracefulness starts to be appreciated I guess and so starting to follow such a show then kind of makes sense, I guess...

@Abaxvahl Indeed, Job could say: "I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food." (Job 23.12). The Lord Jesus Himself said: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." (John 17.17)

@Mantis Yes, well, for a first timer, a small one need not cost much; there is a parlor in Las Vegas that charges $10 for any of a series of template designs. But, yes, for a larger, custom design that is also going to be a cover up, it can get to be more expensive; you're right. All the young...

@Addy Very absorbing...or very time consuming...or maybe somewhere in between... :)

@Mantis Is there a good parlor near you? getting quotes with no obligation is easy, anyway...

@Mantis What a photo! :)

@soul man I read a piece by J I Packer called The Death of Death in the Death of Christ (orig. on John Owen's book).

@soul man Your quote - see previous post - seems to have become very thought-provoking! It would seem that for a lot of Christians it's partly about finding the confidence to do it in the first place. But once decided upon, as a means of conveying a message about a Scripture that is in the...

@jessiblue A very searching Psalm....
