Seems anyway like so many young ppl today - esp. young women - successfully manage to overcome any nervousness as regards ink, right?
@charity Back a bit you said:
Good point there; if it's going to be done, then do it confidently, right?
A skillful tattoo artist could probably modify it into something she found more tasteful.

Yes, exercising the role of tattoo artist is a responsible position of trust. After tattoos having been almost exclusively a man thing for so long, it's now also being proved over and over that the receiving and the giving of ink is a very womanly thing to do, at which women may excel.

That one had become infected maybe because I used a needle, but back then I did not know the Lord and He did healed that area, like I can not see it.
A lot of Christians find faith based ink a very effective conversation-starter in witness. But I guess you chose not to get any more ink, after your unsuccessful experiment?

You've also mentioned Mrs. firstthings1st; so did she ever consider any ink? (It's very widespread now, though years ago the ladies didn't do it so much.)yeah, I won't try that no time soon.

Well, at least you can smile about it! some ppl can be very negative. Fact is, as a conversation-starter in witness a faith based tattoo can be so effective that many Christians today feel it's an opportunity that's too good to miss.
So was she on the most recent Ink Masters episodes? (I tried to look for it.)

Her name if Laura and has long blonde hair. She drew the little robot. It's her in the picture. This is a fun episode to watch, but this is only a small portion. You have to pay or subscribe for more.

@Heart2Soul It's almost like that now; except that in North America it's not "required"; more accurately it's rather increasingly "expected" among many young men and (especially) so many young women. It used to be about being manly. Now also, doing it is so widely about being womanly. So not really "required" at all. But increasingly and widely "expected", I guess.
For many young Christians, a faith based design is a proven effective conversation-starting means in witness which is too good to miss, it would seem, anyway.
Don't you think that tattoos are in a sense a 'snapshot' of one's state of mind at the time?
Then, again, it's good to plan well and be sure that what the tattoo expresses is truly relevant permanently. (This is also why the age aspect of the question and poll is kind of relevant, I guess.)
@michaelvpardo Do you think that in a general sense at least, these days it would be widely regarded as all part of the flourishing of a wife's personality?
Including with Christian wives.
(Leaving aside for a moment the difficulties you mentioned also.)
