@Waiting on him As the parlors have been opening up again (clearly keen on making up for lost business), I saw in the window of a local parlor a notice which said - optimistically - "You need a tattoo".... On the one hand, they would say that, wouldn't they? (On the other hand, it accurately...

@Waiting on him Great quote from Romans 8. (I'm a cessationist myself...)

From back: @Hidden In Him Yes, it can be over the top. The many Christian women that do it usually have it done more carefully and sparingly, so that it's not over the top. It used to be a male sailor and biker thing, but definitely not any more, (exclusively, at least). Lavishly - like you...

@soul man Well, yes; I think probably because it seems to offer ppl an opportunity to express strongly their adulthood; the parlor visit for so many seems to be coterminous with one's 18th birthday. But it also seems to denote — however subjectively — arrival at a certain sense of personal...

@Prayer Warrior Agreed! :)

@Prayer Warrior You may not have anything further to add, but this is generally the point made also to @soul man.

@Prayer Warrior It's Scripture that should be the constant guide...

@Marvelloustime Indeed; and Hebrews 12.2 is very similar:

@TLHKAJ Often tattoos among Christians serve a double purpose of personal reminders and tools to project a witness message.

@Marvelloustime FYI... did you see/vote in the poll, above?

@VictoryinJesus PS: Think of all the creative glory that went into such flowers... The Lord Jesus said, in Luke 12.27: "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

@VictoryinJesus In the context of Hebrews 11 and 12, the besetting sin seems to be unbelief, in any case. Just thought that the ankle chain / inhale comparison in your words was thought-provoking, anyway....

Today, dry, sunny and clear.

@soul man Also, interesting that in 1 Timothy 3.16 'the mystery of godliness' relates to the Incarnation, an already glorious, established fact: we are certainly not left to speculate about possible, future apparitions. Even though the Lord's future appearing is gloriously certain, also.

@VictoryinJesus I'm intrigued! so how does this express Babylon? Interesting... I've heard of the hanging gardens of Babylon. Yes, art can be a way of life. In your husband's and daughter's cases, it can or could be an outlet to all that artistic energy, as the wood burning bears out.

@VictoryinJesus Sorry, this is a bit old, but something I thought of: Interesting the use of the metaphor about the chain around the ankle. Yes, it's true that some chains can weigh down the ankle. But not necessarily so. Sometimes an ankle chain is not heavy; sometimes it is an added, personal...

@VictoryinJesus Great verses there; good always to have a perspective that glorifies the Lord and humbles man.

@VictoryinJesus Yes, definitely a port city. :) Maybe more San Diego rather than NYC. Perhaps you had this kind of thing in mind...

@Marvelloustime You do have the knack of selecting really good verse to quote! Psalm 51 is indeed so searching.
