Tattoos are an important identity signifier. They are a member of the Jesus Gang? why not, who am I to judge. I would rather speak through demonstration. People who rely too much on words are not threatening, just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor with CBD gummies, either. I also take several of my own medications. Yeah, I think psychiatrist are way too eager to give dangerous mind bending drugs to mild disorders that cause even more symptoms for them to label and treat. If I find something that is not industrial strength to self medicate a mild distress I will go for it. Edited January 3 by Scott Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Scott Free Like you imply, it's the transformation from the inner and spiritual testimony that speaks volumes in testimony. There's also a lot of evidence that many Christian men and women that get inked up with faith based designs don't afterwards regret being tattooed. .................................. Mayflower said: "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." christianityboard dot com ............................................... Heather A. said: "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. " christianityboard dot com ........................................... Quote ..in the rural Bible Belt.

It seems even that some Christians who are tattoo-less even regret not having gotten tattooed years back with a Bible verse that would likely have given them a testimony tool: .................................... FYI: Quote I think when I was a young Christian, a scripture or Christian art Tattoo would have helped me stake a claim as a Christian and made people aware early on. It would have helped sort out friends from the start. So I regret not having that as an option during that time. .. If I found myself in a similar situation to when I was young, I'd probably have a tattoo. source: Dave L christianityboard dot com ...................................

Random doodling is always a regrettable stain. If it represents an accomplishment or affiliation, that seems more inline with what tattoos were made for.

Tattoos are unlady-like. That is why I would never have one. source: Cachalot christianityboard dot com ........................................... Others actually think it's a real honor. A lot of ppl with whatever military connections they may have regard it as a real honor to go through with tattooing. GillDouglas said: My wife has talked about this possibility, but she has said she'd have a hard time deciding what to put permanently on her body. She has been urged by other military spouses to get one. christianforums dot com ........................................ Decades back, some ppl might have tried to maintain a narrative that "nice young ladies don't get tattooed"......but actually in recent years and decades this is exactly what might indeed happen, in many cases, including among the most conservative in outlook: ......................................... juliannenw said: 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. allnurses dot com .................................... GodsGrace said: "almost every young girl I know has some sort of tatoo. Even those very conservative types. .." christianityboard dot com ................................................... godlywoman413 said: "I have some tattoos that I had gotten as a younger person. Mine are not anything questionable." .......................................... (So it's often the most conservative of ppl that are tattooed; what godlywoman413 says is not unusual; the idea that it's a sign of being some kind of way out radical doesn't fit. This is so self-evident; it's hard for legalists to fight the facts. And of course, with such a customary background, the potential in theory for faith based tattoos is huge.)

Today it's become like getting an extra pair or two of ear piercings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
