Take care.

No but I have a friend who designs tattoos and he's making them for me and then his buddy is going to do the tattoos.


Hey so his friend has a parlor, does he? though some tattooists operate a mobile service, so that they come to you, like.

Are you likely to chicken out / have second thoughts (etc) at the last moment when you see the needle etc.

Take care.

No, I don't think so. I've been thinking earnestly about this for a few years. The only stopping me is the fact that I am a single woman and I know there are a lot of Christian men that do not approve of tattoos, let alone on Christians.

Then again, if he were truly the man for me, he would accept them as a part of me, right?

Something to think about...

So you think getting ink can be a bit of a risk? and maybe even part of the dare?

Or maybe if it were faith related ink, it would be more out of conviction?

But what do I know?

Take care.

LOLOL!!! I'm beginning to find this statement true.

My decision to get a tattoo won't be because of a 'dare' or because I feel like I'm 'rebelling'. I'm almost 30 years old...I have nothing to prove to anyone; this is just for me.

Well, you sound like you have definitely committed yourself, right? and you are not likely to back out.

Anyway.

Gee whiz. Has no one ever read the Old Testament? Tattoos are expressly forbidden by the LORD God of Israel.

Leviticus 19:28 (New King James Version)

28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.




humbleinspirit -> RE: Has anyone considered a (maybe faith related) tattoo? (5/10/2008 11:01:36 AM)

That was part of the law. It also says 19 " ..."'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material." as well.

Most people don't realize it but it still is the law:

Matthew 5 (New King James Version)

17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.




humbleinspirit -> RE: Has anyone considered a (maybe faith related) tattoo? (5/10/2008 11:34:09 AM)

And fulfilled He did!

Galations:

2:16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

2:19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"

Gal 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."

Gal 3:19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.

Gal 25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. 26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus...

Gal 4:3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law

Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.


Hebrews 7:11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come--one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?

They're talking about man's law. Notice that the "l" in the word "law" in the book of Galatians is not capitalized.

Please note when Jesus spoke of the Law he used the capital "L"

Obviously the Law of the LORD God of Israel overrules the law of man.

Oops. Sorry.




Romans16_20 -> RE: Has anyone considered a (maybe faith related) tattoo? (5/14/2008 2:57:28 AM)

I am thinking about getting some....
1) Lions head with parchment scroll under it saying lion of Judah (upper arm)
2) Marvin the Martian other arm
3) chain going around my calf breaking on the outside of my leg with a cross busting through

probably get them in reverse order with 3 being done first (price). I am going to do it each time I reach a certain goal weight.

Edited to add....
Yes I am a tongue talkin Bible believin Christian!

Now, I wouldn't get a tatoo, too scary!

Well for ladies the placement is often ankle, shoulder, or upper arm, or (if feeling just a little more confident, lower back, but it's often the 18 year olds do that).

[For us guys, it's often chest or arm.]

Take care.




In getting a tattoo, you also need to consider that some workplaces don't allow an employee to have a visible tattoo. Most hospitals and other health-care providers, for example. That's why my tattoos are on my shoulder blade and on my rump. I've wanted one on my lower back for some time, but I've been told those are especially painful to get. (I'm 49, btw.)

Sure! I just don't have the guts for the pain.


Actually, I didn't have a lot of pain with either of my tattoos. It's more like a bee sting, and it's gone fairly quickly. Of course, a lot depends on where on your body you get one. I've heard that getting one on the small of the back is very painful. If you get one in a place that doesn't have a lot of pain sensors, it won't be bad at all.

DustyLady -> RE: Has anyone considered a (maybe faith related) tattoo? (5/18/2008 6:19:23 PM)

In reply to the original question, I have two tattoos, both of which I got when I was 40 years old. I have a small rosebud on my rump, and a fairly large bluebird in flight on my left shoulder blade. Several times, over the last few years, I have considered getting more, but the money just hasn't been there at the right time. (To have the kind of tattoo I would like, or rather the size that I want, would be rather expensive.)

I would love to have a sleeve -- I once saw someone with a huge peacock that filled up their entire upper arm -- but most hospitals and nursing homes won't allow a person to work with visible tattoos. Barring that, I have thought that having a back-piece would be awesome. I've often thought about how I could have the bird on my shoulder expanded into a larger image. I've also considered getting one to cover up a large scar on my stomach, but I've been told that tattoos over scars are very tricky.

As for a faith-related tattoo, I have to confess that I've never thought of one. I guess that will just have to wait for the day I get one, if that ever comes.

DustyLady,

Hi. So were yours kind of unique to you completely, or do you have friends of about your age who also have them?

Take care.

I have two tattoos, and no they aren't faith related. I got both before I re-accepted Christ as my Savior. I don't regret either of them though. I have a small black star which is actually matching to a close friends tattoo (they have a circle with a star missing, so my star completes the circle), and my other tattoo is a Jolly Roger ("pirate-skull") because I've had an obsession with learning about pirates (not the cute ones, the real ones) since I was very young. I do think that now that I'm committed to God, my next tattoo will be faith related, I just have yet to draw one up or choose one yet :)




peanut05 -> RE: Has anyone considered a (maybe faith related) tattoo? (6/17/2008 8:39:37 PM)

i really want a faith related tattoo; the other day i saw a one that had the crown on thorns wrapped around an ankle and there was another person with wings on his back, and i thought "i'm not of this world.. i'm just of it" - so i don't know which one i want to get.

I think the quote was probably: 'not of this world...just IN it'.
