@Sabertooth PS: Maybe with the young man or woman having it done for the first time it's really about plucking up the courage, in the sense of overcoming scruples.

@Sabertooth I think I see what you mean about scruples. In a sense, I guess those who receive their first tattoo might find it hard to "bite the bullet", so to speak, but once they have become a tattooee, the first ink experience helps them overcome the scruples about the medium. (Or maybe the...

I see no one — no one — has voted for it for being for men only. ...

John's Gospel and First John contain very moving themes on the word 'life', centred in Christ.

@VictoryinJesus What tremendous words! Zephaniah 3.9 is so memorable! :)

@Sabertooth Excellent distinction, yes! It's a pity that when 18 year old young men and women make the adult decision for ink and sometimes face negativity for making their adult decision, that the distinction which you rightly make is not better internalized: i.e., sometimes the culturally or...

He didn't get a very sympathetic hearing, did he? (Nothing has changed...)

Sounds like the Christmas carol: 'Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow...' :)

Romans 9 does not say that the church existed prior to Pentecost. :) (I have a lot to be thankful for....)

@Sabertooth PS: After all, if the trumpeter is indeed a woman, then why should she have to look manly rather than womanly? which she does indeed.

You're right; I think I agree entirely.

@Sabertooth In any case, it's unfair of ppl to give you grief for this piece of artwork. It's...well, plain accurate.

Not a Biblical-sounding term, in any case... o_O

In the end I come back to Hebrews 11.6... :)

1 Timothy 3.16; John 1.14; Colossians 2.9

@Sabertooth[/USER] Even before you mentioned it, I was going to say that some of the strictures one hears from cultural Fundies would seem to imply that a trainee doctor supposedly cannot learn anatomy and a talented artist can't even draw medical anatomical resources. Frankly, they are coming...

You said earlier on the other thread: "("The Trumpeter's" arms, upper body and slighter bust are all intended to call to mind a swan's neck. A WW body would have been a total miscast.)" You are right; the features are not at all excessively depicted. They reflect reality, and purpose in...

So how is other ppl's weather? :)
