@Who me Thanks for participating in the poll vote.

I think the range of response options is comprehensive, right?

Nor I. I just remember when I had mine it was a nice feeling that someone came over and said they liked it

@NConly Kind of, a rather good feeling that originally the effort to have had a Christian-related tattoo injected was all worthwhile, right?

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

[jesusandliberty]

Interesting topic. I have no idea but I know a lot of devout Christ followers who have them. My personal thoughts are if you are going to get a permanent mark on your body it is probably better to honor God than something of the world, say, your favorite sports team.

I did not get my tattoo to start a conversation. I got it because I wanted to get it.

@bdavidc So is this a quite longstanding faith based tattoo design that you had done?

I think you mentioned afterwards that the expense of more ink might be an issue for now, if you did want more eventually.

You can see of course how Christians among some demographics that are widely and heavily tattooed would readily wish to use their faith based ink as conversation starters - even if this is not the reason why all Christians get their tattoos.

@jesusandliberty From a Christian testimony aspect, anyway, one can see that especially since certain demographics tend determinedly to participate in receiving tattoos, Christians among them can reckon that faith based designs can serve as high effective conversation-starting witness tools, FYI:

(I am sure you would follow the rationale of Christians among them being very ready to receive them for such a purpose, anyway.)

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll.

NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now.

@jesusandliberty Thanks for participating in the poll vote.

I guess you can see how - from the various responses already - it can be quite a topical subject?

@Solus Christus Re. the quote in the link you supplied:

"according to a 2022 YPulse millennials currently carry the title of the most tattooed generation, with over 50% having at least one tattoo (according to the same study, 7 in 10 say they have more than one)."

In terms of opportunity for faith based designs that may become conversation tools, as @jesusandliberty says,

I know a lot of devout Christ followers who have them.

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

So you can see at in the minds of young Christian men and women now the potential that the tattoo parlor seems to offer.
