@michaelvpardo Hopper is more well known for his cityscapes (his Nighthawks - showing a soda bar at night - is often reproduced). But he also did countryside landscapes and with both sorts of subject light and shade tend to be strongly contrasted. (I'll try to dig up a link or two...)

PS: Anyway in general terms; it really used to be a man thing years ago (sailors; bikers). I read someplace that now in North America 59%-70% or more of parlor clients are women; now it seems that women in general terms are likely to be thoroughly comfortable in a tattoo parlor environment; and...

Reminds me a little of the landscapes of Edward Hopper; all about light and shade in contrast.

Kind of reminds me almost of oriental art; simple statements amidst a sort of eternal present, in the mists...

@michaelvpardo I thought indeed you might be familiar with the Rockies... :) Someone swimming there, I guess...

Sorry about your problems; I hope you guys by God's grace can prayerfully manage to get together again. Ink - and faith based designs at that - is a proven conversation-starter in witness, anyway. (Whether the person gets several or just one; it does work, anyway.)

Is this in the Rockies someplace? :)

@michaelvpardo A while ago you said: It used to be a man thing, but now it's also become a very womanly thing to do; so many Christian women as well as men now get tattooed with confidence and use ink - like you say - to give a reason for the hope that is within them. (Sometimes not just one...

@michaelvpardo Wonderful passage in Isaiah! there is so much in that book of the Bible to encourage the pilgrim believer! :) It goes to show that salvation ought not to be regarded as some vague, collective thing but very much an individual thing, indeed, right?

He was indeed obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross (Philippians 2).

Well, okay; I'm a dispensationalist; at least you know where I am coming from...

People's fallen nature equip them to believe a lie more easily than the truth...

Great for you! :)

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the...

Yes, it's something that so often at around 18 they feel they must do; even though subsequently they don't really pursue the ink interest. It used to be young men that did it; though now even more young women than young men do it, don't they.

Well, I would be looking for the Rapture, 1 Cor. 11.26...

More and more I can pray; "Even so; come: Lord Jesus" Revelation 22.

Well, Hebrews 7.25 - about the constant intercession of the Lord Jesus for His own - is a great encouragement for us to do likewise...

Oh okay; he's already into it. I think you said your daughter was into ink as well. These days, both genders do it.
