I guess it's very much a matter of longstanding individual conviction. Present in some Christians, definitely not in others.
A bit like some ppl having - and others definitely not having - the desire for 'bondservant' ear piercing, really, I suppose?
Hi, @1stCenturyLady : I think the various ink shows demonstrate very clearly that the demographics of getting tattooed have come a very long way over the years, don't you think?
@Mayflower : I saw your recent comment about wanting to be a Proverbs 31 woman; FYI, I saw this design:

The demographics of getting ink have opened up a lot, haven't they, from when it used to be basically male sailors and bikers that had it done.

@"ByGrace" I think that from the time that your husband got his tattoos decades back the demographics of ink have broadened very considerably, haven't they. (I forget if you said whether other family members now have tattoos.)
Seems like there has been quite a sea change in tattoo trends in recent decades.

Yes, well although some Christians don't like it, others who see its value in witness often feel a parlor visit for testimony ink can be a really wholesome and effective thing to do, don't they?
The young people that I've met who have submitted willingly to Bible verse tattooing have seemed very determined, anyway. (Remains to be seen I guess if such determination makes itself known to you among those you are close to.) Blessings.

No not really, they have always done funny stuff with their hair and dressed crazy in their teens.
The best was old gas station attendant work shirts, complete with name tags over pockets and bowling rental shoes lol we still laugh when we talk about it.
Years ago getting tattooed was very much a man thing; but now in moderation it's become mainstream for women to do it, right? (I know you instinctively think of crazy/fun things your daughters did...)
Its prevalence has given faith based tattoos a lot of potential, also...
Sounds in any case like you are pretty comfortable with the idea that your daughters have tattoos - maybe especially the Bible verse ink...
PS: All the lettering can be painful - especially if a Bible verse is a long as John 3.16. But ppl think it's worth it; my wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also, and it evidently worked as a conversation-starter, which is presumably why she determined to get it all injected in the first place. (If this makes sense?)
