@Neighbor Sorry for your skin health difficulties.

Have a blessed Christmas.

Thanks. They are pretty common for those of us that live long enough to get them. 

Hey a life of good times in the sunshine comes with it's consequences too. Beats having lived life like a mushroom.

May you also have a blessed Christmas!

Yes I'm in Colorado.

PS: @TrueFollowerOfChrist Did you hear of Faith Tattoo Gallery at Golden, Colorado? I found this info.

I don't know that they are really doctrinally specific and precise.

But this is what they say, FYI:

"We are family-friendly and encourage clients to bring their children in while getting tattooed. .. From when you step in the door, we want you to feel comfortable enough that you could bring you great-grandmother in for her tattoo and have it done by any of our trustworthy artists. .. We are a Christian tattoo studio that follows the work and life ethics set forth by our Lord." (Terry Weber, qu. in denverpost dot com )

( cc @NConly There may be huge differences between one tattoo establishment and another — as you would know more than many ppl. )

Yes if one goes in they need to make sure exactly what is going to be done. I went in one shop and picked a really nice pic and said I want this one. what I did not know up front is the guy hand drew it on my arm and it was different than the pic in the book.

@NConly Agreed! If a man or woman is committed enough to particular tattoo ideas and makes appts. with a parlor artist, s/he better make sure that the inking machine through stencil accuracy is actually going to achieve what is expected.

(And then of course there's also the accuracy of the spelling from a quote - Bible verse, etc.)

I am not a prude. I am not opposed to pierced ears or conservative make up or even (*gasp*) a small, inoffensive tatoo. ...I do have three earrings in each ear. .. So where is the line that crosses from self-expression to self-mutilation?
As for tatoos, I like them.  .. there is a difference in having a small tatoo or even two or three .. and making a canvas out of your entire arms, back, face, chest, and legs. ..
So, again, where is the line drawn between self-expression and self-mutilation?

Re. Scarlett on baptistboard in her quote: I guess it could be said that particularly if the person is getting into multiple tattoos, it can tip into self-mutilation if the ink acquisitions don't even accurately express what the man or woman wants to convey.

Confidence for a balanced outcome is essential. (As you would know.) Otherwise it's not worth it at all.

I don't have any, of any kind, and I don't think they are a beneficial thing

I don't think many who get what they consider a Christian tattoo use it as a witnessing tool. ... I think a tattoo can be a great witnessing tool ...

PS: Hi @TrueFollowerOfChrist As a matter of fact, all the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have spoken seen to have gotten inked up at the parlor for a witness tool....

I don't have any tatoo and am not intending on getting one either.
