@rdclmn72 FYI.............did you see the poll, above?

This is my grandson's 3rd "faith" tattoo. Philippians 4:13

[Hopefully]

I didn’t see the poll but after reading about tattoos in the Bible I don’t think it is okay so I repented and did not get anymore.

 

 I already feel in my heart it’s wrong so if I were to change and go off the “it’s okay” of others, God will judge me as doing something I knew in my heart was wrong.

@debrakay Thanks for the photo!

Philippians is among my favorite books of the Bible; sounds like it is among your grandson's favorites also.

Your grandson seems like he's already gotten quite some Bible verse inkings already. (I reckon his grandmother was quite thrilled to see the details of them, when they came through...)

So, do you think your grandson is done getting Bible verse tattoos? (or maybe he hasn't yet said...)

I think anyway in Christian families where there are already those who are inked up, they understand better why family members want to get more faith based ones.

@NConly

Few ppl decide all at once what the totality of their tattooing is going to look like.

It can be helpful for the younger man or woman that is a first timer to understand that later, incremental good feelings may gradually accumulate, after interest in the existing ink is shown by others, for a possible further trip to the tattoo parlor. (And eventually a further one maybe.)

Like you said:

I think once a person gets a compliment on their tat they get a good feeling .... when one sees a verse or Christian symbol on another and shows interest they feel easier after talking with that person.

I have 7 tattoos ... did not get anymore

Hi @Hopefully In any case, though you are not getting any more, 7 tattoos is as many as a lot of ppl who are still keen on tattoo art may ever get, right?

(I like the avatar of a female warrior, which reminds me of the weapons of spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6.)

Some ppl might say that God can still draw a straight line with what they may regard as a crooked stick.

Some Christians probably also regard their faith based tattoos - even ones which they may later regret - as part of their personal weapons of spiritual warfare, even as they have learned to used them as witness tools.

I have a 21 year-old grandson who loves the Lord.  He is fairly quiet and not one who jumps into conversations like his Grandmother (me).  He is now on his 3rd tattoo

@debrakay

I guess it's hard for his grandmother to be surprised at his tattoo parlor encounters, right? seeing as she herself was already previously experienced in a tattoo parlor.

one made it easy for more.

@NConly

I'm sure you wouldn't say to potential first timers that they ought to do it.

(Since it is an individual decision.)

But I'm sure, if asked, you would tell them it was easy, right?

Once started, ppl soon gain the confidence:
