I can see how your trumpet player in the media section, that you uploaded, is rather relevant to your meditations here. :)

You and your wife were evidently very thoughtful in the naming of your family. (I had not remembered Nissiah as a Bible name...) Good thought there...

I like your artwork that you keep uploading, however simple - or complex...

Prayer is such an important subject with Paul; in 1 Thess. 5 and Philippians 4, the theme of prayer is linked with joy and thanksgiving. :)

Paul to the Romans indeed speaks of 'the obedience of faith' and 'obedience to the faith', at the beginning and the end that mighty Epistle.

Hi, @A_Man (Replying here because the poll on this thread is live, still.) My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was here favorite Bible verse, and mine also; and I'm sure that other conversations have arisen as a result of her...

Ronald Reagan famously said this in a debate with Jimmy Carter in 1980... :)

@shnarkle Very interesting comments. So do I surmise that in the cases of the three tattooees that you raised, there was in your view something going on that you would not have been happy about?

The Scriptures are indeed the believer's yardstick...

Has this thread run its course?

Okay! but you see the point; not everyone feels it's necessary to have dark outlining for lips. So I see what you mean about tattoo artists being pressured to use thicker lines. Women artists need to be able to pursue their own vision of what womanly tattooing is, without men telling them what's...

@CharismaticLady Very interesting; so I guess what you are saying is that even today a male way of looking at things is still more prevalent in the industry that it should be. Although tattooing has been made thoroughly womanly, yet sometimes the attempt is still made to force artists to use...
