Because it depicts a Psalm, I in the first instance put this in the Psalms section, but it also belongs in this thread, certainly. pinterest dot com It's rather effective, isn't it? One can easily see how good, faith based tattoos can become effective witness tools and talking points.

I do believe that according to John's First Epistle true unity is spiritual and doctrinal and first and foremost a matter of Godward fellowship; so the idea of trying to establish temporal and corporate 'unity' without that spiritual and doctrinal unity would have no value...

Hi, Sir; remind me please who the Desert Fathers were...

Well, obviously this particular placement works differently for a man than for a woman! With the size of your ink you were obviously not put off by the soreness level. This chest one in the picture with the Psalm clearly was rather sore, but if it makes for an effective witness tool and talking...

It looks sore; but receiving the Psalm as a tattoo in this way certainly makes for an effective witness tool and talking point, doesn't it? :) If it's effective, well worth the pain involved.

@Dave L FYI...(inc. poll.)

Great verse there. It seems to come over well also in the KJV.

Yes,it's good to read a balance of Old and New Testament passages consecutively. :)

Hebrews 1, which speaks of the Lord Jesus Who 'by Himself purged our sins', is so important, I feel. There was indeed a reason why He the Sinless One had to die at the Cross. In Him only is the believer secure.

@Mayflower : It's probably a good idea for young ppl and children to get used to wearing earrings at a fairly early age and looking after the pierced holes.

Great verse there from Proverbs! Yes, there is something really rugged and manly about a guy with earrings, don't you think? For some many ppl, studs are often the simplest solution...

Interesting...

Relevant question, yes, indeed. John 3.16
