I would recommend talking to a small business consultant to sort out how they can set limits on what they will or won't do. They can give much better direction during the setting-up phase of the business.

That still brings us back to the tattoo-ed (as opposed to the tattoo-er). I don't have a theological problem with a benign or Godly tattoo. I have expressed a few practical reservations in previous posts, but they do not rise to the level of outright prohibition.

I have no Biblical objection. I just think that it looks unflattering on my baby.

If one is willing to compromise their own convictions before God (not other people's convictions) for their art,* career fulfillment or just plain old money, it has become an idol to them. We can certainly repent, but there is a conflict of interests if those things keep bringing one back to...

My skepticism is not woman-specific. In the past, men were wrong (and hypocritical), on the one hand, to deny women the use of tobacco, but tobacco is bad for everybody concerned. Women solved one problem, but they created/extended another.

How is LGBTQ tats different than astrological signs, gang tats, swastikas, etc.? They are all a demand for Christian tattoo artists to compromise their witness. (Christians who only receive tattoos aren't directly affected by those choices.)

Not if they had to violate their conscience in subsequent productions to stay afloat. (Maybe they didn't have to.)

With all of the grief that the Colorado baker is continuing to go through, do you think that the LGBTQ community will acquiesce to the artist's conscience in this matter?

If such an animal can exist. There are Christian films/filmmakers, after all.

That is where I am skeptical, like Christian cinema or, at least, spiritually benign cinema. It is out there but very rare.

I agree with you about the Christian tattoo-ed. Your OP seems to be about the Christian tattoo-er.

That feature is working now. It wasn't working last month.

My earlier use of "idealistic" wasn't in the sense of being highly embellished (which is common in art and can be benign). It was in the sense of believing that a Christian tattoo artist could open a parlor and stay in business while doing only benign or Christian designs. The bulk of tattoo...

@farouk I don't know. It is another example of armor with a clear anatomical design.

No. The Trumpeter is the only female soldier that I have on-line. My avatar has a bulked-up man-pec breastplate.

@farouk Heralding and also breaking down walls *cough* Jericho *cough*

It applies to all Christians everywhere, but someone who is undergoing sanctification (or not) is easy to spot. And Jesus told us to be fruit inspectors [Matthew 7:18]. I believe in grace for ignorant (but saved) Christians --I know that I need it-- but I expect to see improvement as we converge...
