'Christian tattoos to start a conversation as the Lord leads.'

Obscurantist-

a person who deliberately prevents the facts or full details of something from becoming known

How does this fit what some of us have said regarding tattoos? In the Bible if God says it, it is generally for the good of the people or God would not have said it. That statement re the cutting or marking is what was done by the ungodly and God did not want His chosen to do. Was He being an obscurantist?

What the verse 'f0r the dead' says in Leviticus is not obscure.

It also seems to be Israel in the land under the law in view.

Yes under the law but then the Ten Commandments which are under the law fit also. They then do not now apply to us?

I don't see how the sabbath now applies. Hebrews 7.12 says that the law was changed; and Hebrews 7.19 says that what we now have is better than the law.

The fact seems to be that, in order to express that one has become a young adult, the sheer compelling urge for one's skin to be perforated the inking machine may prove well nigh irresistible among the most conservative of young people.

I am a nurse in a cardiac ICU. I am also pretty heavily tattooed. I am a well educated, well rounded nurse, and was raised with strong morals and manners. .. I am an extremely traditional person.

I’m pretty sure being heavily tattooed at this point is a job requirement. ..

Every single nurse I know w the exception of the older lady who precepted me (but she’s like 60 so she gets a pass ) has tattoos.

In all these quotes, the person concerned - and not least godlywoman413 - undeniably seems quietly satisfied with the tattoo parlor visit as a young adult.

When the combination exists of being a young adult and a young Christian, it seems that the motivation to be tattooed with something such as a Bible verse may not unusually be found to be especially compelling.

Anyway, all the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have spoken seem to have received them as witness tools.

These are facts that are hard to deny.

the pain was not scary for me and one made it easy for more.

@NConly PS: Of course, so many ppl who get multiple tattoos also opt for ear piercings; they kind of go together, often; so would you ever have considered ear studding also? seems like it's what is done so often at the same time.
