@Truman Sounds like you wore it for a good few years, anyway....
Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

Welcome to Christian Forums, a Christian Forum that recognizes that all Christians are a work in progress.
You will need to register to be able to join in fellowship with Christians all over the world.
We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
Do you think that one day you'll decide that you've had enough of getting more tattoos altogether?
Some ppl do eventually reach that point, anyway.
PS: @AceWestfall08 I think that this is a reason why some Christians seem to keep getting tattoos even if others have quit having it done: Amanda Wachob (not even writing in the context of Christian tattoo designs) said:
“It’s amazing how my tattoos have connected people. And given people a reason to speak to each other when maybe there wasn’t a reason before to talk to a stranger.” femaletattooers dot com
When ppl are isolated and don't get to talk to others, a faith based (Bible ref., etc.) design might well serve to get ppl talking when otherwise conversations might not have come about. And some would say, Presumably we want opportunities to talk to ppl.

I saw this quote which seems to explain why Christians use them as conversation-starting tools:

And interestingly the quote is from someone who is not even speaking from a Christian context, but who is affirming that they do work as things that get people talking to one another. I'm not saying that this is what all Christians ought to get, or anything like that, but anyway some would say, Presumably we want opportunities to talk to ppl about what we earnestly believe?

@Pearl Re. what you said there back a bit; it can be a constant and vivid way to have a reminder to pray for those whose names they are of.....maybe, right?

@Lambano Kind of, with that amount of them and with their effective witness use, probably now reached a serene, default level and amount of ink, I suppose...
@Christophany
What you say reminds me of what Nancy posted:

I guess it shows why a lot of Christians find in faith tattoo designs scope for witness tools, right?
@Truman
A quote, from seanmcdowell dot org:
Like you say, it seems to be about expressing individuality.
No wonder that believers use faith based tattoos to express what's on their hearts, right?
@Goldie75 Oh, well; I sense that you likely think small tattoos look better on women than the bigger sleeves, etc. Well, this is fine..
@FluffyYellowDuck It may just be the effect of the ink in the skin; I wouldn't think that it means you were being 'jinxed' or something.
It could be that when you had the tattoo injected, the needles could have gone in quite deep, near some glands, etc. Admittedly, the neck is quite a sought after placement for a tattoo, so you are probably far from alone (a local tattoo artist might be able to confirm this or advise).
PS:
@Goldie75 Your comment reminded me; there is actually a tattoo parlor in Florida called 'Addicted to Tattoos'.
It's probably more of a play on words, to some extent; although the lady that is the proprietor has a vested interest in people getting tattooed.... (Like anyone selling anything, really...)
