So are cherubims angels? Maybe there are different characteristics of angels...the ones mentioned in scripture who appeared to Mary as messengers and at the tomb had the likeness of man (no wings).

The ones prepared in Exodus for the tabernacle had only two wings, but look at Ezekiel:
"This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Exek 10:20-21
As you say the ones who appeared to Mary as described in scripture had no wings. I would say that the angels depicted in paintings and statues were conceived by artists mixing the angels and the cherubims, but that is just a guess. I really don't know. But conside the image that nearly every child has had of satan long before he had ever read scripture himself. Red fellow with Horns and long tail holding a trident or pitchfork. Hmmm?

Usually it's 18, or thereabouts.
Nowadays it's almost expected. While there is I'm sure a lot of peer pressure for young men and women to do it, yet at that age it seems they really want to do it, speaking in general, right?
Although - unlike years ago - so many young women now seem really keen to acquire ink for themselves, the key is really to have it well planned and to be truly "ready", right?I think my oldest is ready she said she been ichin for ink
(Don't be surprised if she gets an appointment at the parlor soon.)

So the idea of more effective faith based ones which you would use in witness didn't appeal to you; well, fine; before someone has it done for that purpose, the person needs to be committed to it.

So do you think she is still actively aware of it? or maybe she just forgets it's there? a lot of ppl do, anyway.charity said:
Yes, I can see that the permanence of a tattoo is something that you would really be very aware of. Goes to show that ppl do need to be really sure before they ink, right?

..whereas with ear piercings the rings can just be removed...(but much harder with the ink, if the person tires of it, of course).
@Mayflower FYI, did you check out lately the poll results, above? Ppl can change their vote category if they wish; I guess you're sure about your preference for the 26-40 category?
So many Christians seem to feel that faith based tattoos are a really good way of expressing a dearly held, personal faith message, don't they? (but you need to be very sure about it first).
