We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
@GodsGrace Yes, exactly; such a lot of modest Christians - Christian women especially - have them done, often in faith based designs. (I think the polygamy thing is a red herring, so to speak...)
I understood about the polygamy after I posted.
The poster lumped it together with tattooing the body...
BTW
I learned that there are tattoo places in the low country in So. Carolina.
Things move fast...
@GodsGrace Yes, well, anyway now it's so widespread in the Bible Belt, apparently; conservative, modest ppl do it so widely now; I saw these quotes, FYI:

They go ahead and do it.
@GodsGrace Well, more for them than for me; but so many ppl seem to think so now....and use them in witness, anyway....Which is good for you!
@Heart2Soul Yes; and it's a case really of at least respecting that many believers are truly motivated to get inked up with faith based / Scripture tattoos, right?
@soul man Today it is very straightforward for a Christian to go get a tattoo parlor appt. for something simple, faith based.

@MatthewG
Heart2Soul is right about ways it's seemingly becoming a norm:

From one aspect it's excellent to develop sound, Scriptural convictions as early in life as possible. From another, once they are old enough, it seems that so many young ppl are going to get their appts. at the tattoo parlor; and what they get will likely reflect what's really important in their lives.
(I'm sure you agree...)
@Mantis (Relevant here also.)
A lot of Christians seem to want to express the reason for the hope that is in them (1 Peter 3.15) though their ink.

My son had 7 or 8 tattoos before I even thought about it. ... Those who get scripture must be overjoyed. The money and pain are outweighed by the message they witness to... No more ink for me. ... I do think they are fine for whoever wants one. It's just not something I would do again.
All the young people with Bible verses tattooed that I have talked to seem to have had them done for evangelistic reasons, anyhow.
It seems to be associated particularly with those who go on missions trips also:

So you are far from alone, @Mantis .
@Wynona Well, if you feel there is a solid basis, it's good to stick to one's convictions, right?

That was talking about a people who marked there bodies by cutting it in a religious thing that they did to honor the dead! That was a demonic thing. But if it is not a religious self mutilation that you are doing for dead people; then the bible says nothing else about tats.
That verse mentions tattoos “‘Do not . . . put tattoo marks on yourselves.

Not tats alone IF you look at the context of the whole thing. I used to be completely against tats; but I changed my toon. I still don't want any for myself, or my family... but I won't judge others that do.
No I don't judge others either.
where is the scripture that says no tattoo ? i am not a fan of them for myself but i fail to see the sin unless it has obscenity's in it
Let's see not sure how far back this was but I did space. And Thursday we didn't have church for Thanksgiving.
