@Waiting on him If it's "we" as a general comment, it's certainly very widespread...if it's "we" specifically, I can't speak for you guys....

@Michiah-Imla Good way of putting it...

@Waiting on him I think it's probably the case that somewhat older women are likely doing it now in greater quantities than somewhat older men are. (Like moms doing it once daughters have done it.)

@Waiting on him You know the feeling, too...

@Ziggy Philippians 4.8 is a really good antidote... :) "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there...

@Not me That passage in Ephesians 2 is indeed very searching...

@Ziggy As regards tattoo artists and a demographic among whom tattoos are highly present: nurses, I saw this quote: allnurses dot com As @Heart2Soul said back a bit, Getting tattooed seems to go hand in hand with being a nurse, so often, now; and you can see how see in any case Christian...

@Michiah-Imla Ephesians 2.10 - 'we are His workmanship', etc. - follows on from Ephesians 2.9... :)
