@Sabertooth Well, that's interesting, because I had just assumed that the black there was more of a semi-coloured cartoon style representation of actually red lips. It would be interesting to know what exactly you had in mind with the black symbolic allusion. (On a separate note, black lipstick...

@Sabertooth Do you think the symbolism of your trumpeter picture in your media section has its idealistic side? :) I do retain the sense in which the Christian receiver or giver of tattoos might be motivated by idealism to some extent.

@Sabertooth "If you look closely, her figure is modeled on a trumpeter swan." Interesting. I think the lips which play the trumpet can be said to correspond with the 'thread of scarlet' in Song of Solomon, also. Song of Solomon 4:3 Commentary - John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

My wife went to a Gaither concert when they were in the area. Not sure about the link you were looking for...

I guess it also depends on the level of training and certification by APP - the Association of Professional Piercers. A piercing option can enhance a tattoo parlor's business, without doubt.

@OzSpen It's the corresponding truth in the New Testament to which the Old Testament 'types and shadows' look forward. Gloriously, Christ is in all the Scriptures.

...also in Ephesians 1, yes, indeed... :)

PS: To think it's November already; this year has really flown...

@Sabertooth As with tattoos, I guess believing piercers and artist would each have his or her zones of comfort, so to speak, right?

Dull and windy but dry today.

Indeed...

Headship is an important truth, often overlooked; Paul takes up the truth also in1 Corintnthians 11.
