@charity I think a lot more ppl are tattooed than we realize...

What's the one for the name of the language spoken around Uluru / Ayers Rock? Pitjantjatjara, or something?

@charity So are you into puns, as it happens? :)

PS: @Sabertooth I can't speak for her, but she would probably say that your 'unflattering' comment is subjective! :) Anyway, so many women now obtain nostril piercing or else the piercing of the septum — which I certainly don't have any Biblical objection to, either — often done at a tattoo parlor.

@Josho : So I'm sure you must have more puns in your repertoire... :)

Thanks for your vote and comment! I guess what you say could be interpreted also as begging the question, Wouldn't a lot of tattooees actually prefer a Christian atmosphere in the parlor that they use? (if this makes any sense?)

I think what the New Testament actually says about baptism is rather clear, anyway...

Yssel Longwy Thau Tielt Pereyre Yssel Longwy Turgot (It's a long way to Tipparary...etc...)

Quite a tongue-twister...

@Josho Hi; did you see the poll, above?

I think we need to get back to the fact that at Pentecost, in Acts 2.41, it is clear that people were baptized because they believed; not in order supposedly to become believers.

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

SOLA SCRIPTURA... :)

I love the Philippians 2 which you quote from in your header! It's not unusual for someone at the Lord's Supper to quote part of it.

@Sabertooth I guess a commission based, independent contractor Christian tattoo artist could supplement his or her income by piercing; it's a service also much in demand and offered by many parlors.

'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God Through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom we have access also into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.' (Romans 5:1-2) Hello @soul man, Yes, Praise God! For He, through Christ Jesus, has brought us out of darkness...

So is your brother a Bible based preacher? :)

@Sabertooth I don't, either. (Whatever Fundies, who habitually confuse past culture with theological accuracy, might try to say.) Especially since im Ezekiel 16.12 the Lord is recorded as giving a nose ring to Zion, at least figuratively; and in Genesis Rebekah's earring - referred to as such...

I agree; we need to search our hearts from the Scriptures; aesthetically, Philippians 4.8 is an important guide.

@Sabertooth Well, many tattooed women also have nose rings; it would be regarded I think as being part of a similar stylistic flair — and indeed a benign one.
