Thanks for the heads up.. No tattoos do not work.. In Leviticus we are told not to mark our bodies not cut them. The "ink" used is toxic, and some is printer's ink, some car paint, and many that are contaminated leaving the toxins go to the liver, kidneys etc. I have one family member that has tattoos and has had infections... personally I find them most unappealing and think the clean skin is far more attractive.

@Littlelambseativy Thanks for your comment! (....and participation in the poll vote...)

So did your (immediate?) family member choose any faith based designs for his or her tattoos?

(I saw a video from a tattoo artist; she said that tattoo inks these days are a lot safer than they were decades back.)

No faith based tattoo based designs,, I think they are 'pretty' by choice.. but may I suggest looking up tattoo inks and their composition.

@Solus Christus While some tattooees do indeed come to regret their ink, some others clearly do not; even though they may hesitate at first, yet once they determinedly go into the tattoo parlor and have it done, there are seemingly no regrets; FYI:

"I struggled with the idea of getting a tattoo. .. I think the pastor's wife has a faith tattoo.... quite a few in my church have faith based tattoos and my friend and I were talking about them....I've seen tattoos that have a lot of meaning like mine. I feel mine is special and thankful I got it. I haven't once felt guilty for getting it."

"I waited 5 years before getting it. .. Reno also has a lot of tattoo places. Carson City has a few. Most people travel to Reno or Las Vegas for it. .. I have 1 tattoo and I got it in Reno. .. I do have a cross tattoo. "

@Littlelambseativy Thanks for your comment; I uploaded a video about tattoo quality in the video section.

Is it true Jews don’t get tattoos?

Hi @Christian Gedge FYI.............did you see the poll, above?

[farouk]

In the early 20th century it was widely regarded as a manly thing to do.

.........................

Paula Castle took up tattooing after being made redundant from a sales job ..."I really did not want to do it. ...But I’m a bit of an all or nothing person so I said ‘yes’ and really pushed myself and I’ve not stopped...About 97% of my clients are female and that is universal across the board."

James McCarthy, Mirror dot co dot uk

............................

Today, so many Christian women also desire to have their dermis pumped in with ink in a faith based design, since going into a tattoo parlor is widely regarded also as a really womanly thing to do.

Don’t know if they are effective, but I don’t like them anyway.  God gave you beautiful skin.  Don’t ruin it!

@Christian Gedge Thanks for your participation in the poll. (It's not necessarily something that's present in every household...)
