I think I answered this before...but yes it did.@Heart2Soul Though you came to terms with their ink, did the moment you first found out they had done it give you a bit surprise?
Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

Thanks, @Heart2Soul ! I reckon maybe the broader, sudden lesson it gave was that you then realized just how quickly they had grown up into adult women, right?
@Heart2Soul
As the OP quotes seem to bear out, it's become so mainstreamed now that the most conservative now do it.
As GodGrace said:
It's what even the most conservative do.
It's not now some kind of sign now that they are supposedly radical or avant-garde.
More likely, it shows that they truly see themselves from now onwards as adults.
This, at least, seems very clear, doesn't it?

@Heart2Soul These are the OP quotes I was referring to:

It's something much more that's done because they are adult (not because they are somehow radical & anti-social, etc.)
Not: "Hey, I'm now anti-social!" but instead - even quietly - "I'm now an adult woman".
A lot of Christians realize this and feel confident to use it to express what they believe, Scripture quotes, etc.

@Pathfinder7 I expect that these likely made clear that it's something that, though formerly a man thing overwhelmingly, it is just as much - or even more so - practised by women now, did they?

@Pathfinder7 The fact that it's manifestly no longer a man thing overwhelmingly (as it used to be) is probably another reason why the scope for faith based tattoo designs have increased greatly. (As the many slides/pictures of tattoos at the conference session likely demonstrated, if you recall?)
