BTW, do you know whether nuns have tattoos these days - to any significant extent?

I’ve never asked a nun, but i am sure women under a certain age who have decided to become nuns are somewhat likely to have tattoos.
This sounds like it would be true, yes.
I've never asked nuns, either, but frankly it's what young women do.
While this quote refers to Protestant young women, the practice is hardly likely to be restricted to Protestant young women, is it?

Well, this is just fine! :) (I guess just watch what your daughter does...)
Did you know that some parlors are more like salons, given the sheer proportion of women that use them?

Had no idea! My oldest daughter is currently working toward a degree in beauty school. They may could have a collaboration.
I like the phrase!
Let's trust that a Scripture on the skin is first branded by faith on the heart, right?:)
Well, today some parlors are well-lit, airy, female-friendly places. In a sense, it's in the interests of the artists to have their parlors presented in this way, given the clientele that they now have.
Did you know that 55%-70% or more of parlor clients in North America are female?
(It used to be a man thing to do - and still is - but it's become a very womanly thing to do, also. As your daughters would know. From a Christian perspective this all arguably creates a lot of opportunities for working in the industry and also for faith based designs that in some circumstances may 'speak volumes'.)
PS: Is she the one who likes tattoos? or maybe you are referring to the other daughter.

She had it done, too, then.
It may well be her last one, as she says. (It's not surprising that both your daughters have had it done; it seems that young women now so strongly tend to welcome receiving the inking needle. For this reason also, the possibility that it might not after all be her last one shouldn't be underestimated, right?)
Anyway, from a pragmatic Christian perspective, the prevalence now of ink does open a lot of possibilities for faith/Scripture-based tattoos.

PS: It may well be true.
Maybe for your daughter it was simply about doing first ink at around 18 as a sign of adulthood; and then that was it.
But you're probably aware that the word 'addictive' - in a benign sense - does come to mind, as regards how so many people find the experience of getting ink. "More is better" — somehow? — often seems more compelling than "one is enough". But you must know her.

Yes hers was about 13 years ago I do see how some are more of an addiction
Interesting; so what would you make of the value - as opposed of the monetary cost - of a faith / Scripture design that is inked in and causes testimony discussing and refection?
