Well, guess it all depends on what you believe in. Had a tattoo back when i was like 17. I was naive by then and desperate to have one since i thought it was cool but with time I realized may be it wasn’t necessary to have it but i still don’t regret and i for sure don’t judge anyone who has tattoos....... it all comes back to choice, i always focus more on what’s inside someone heart ‘character’ than on the outsideWhat are your thoughts on them? Do you have some or want some?
Would you date someone with tattoos? Do you think they are evil or okay for a Christian person to have?
Personally, I don't think I would get any. I am afraid that I would change my mind about getting one later on. I do find them attractive on men...as long as they are not evil things like the number 6 done 3 times, a skull, the enemy, or the name of another girl. I am interested in reading your thoughts on the subject.
ya wouldn't put a bumper sticker on a Maserati would ya?

I hesitate to answer because I do not want to make people who already have them feel bad about themselves.
However since this might help a lady who is thinking about getting one make a better decision I will tell you my opinion which is also shared by millions of other men just like me. If God has given you a beautiful body and skin, why would you mar that canvass with a flaw? Remember when "she is flawless" was a compliment of a woman's beauty? If you get a tattoo it is like "awwww.... look, now she has a flaw" "why did she do that? What was she thinking?" The same goes for holes in your nose, lips or eyebrows. etc...
Also I don't care what anyone tells you there are millions of people who think if you get tattoos you probably are a drug user or a drinker and party girl and probably immoral. Now many of us who understand being born again know not to judge and so the next thought is usually "maybe she used to be, and now she is saved and those are from her past." Rarely does anyone think, "she got them after she got saved to witness to people and they might be scripture verses"
And finally at the very best we think that she got them because she is trying to fit in with a certain generation but she is going to regret them later and so we think she is stubborn, self willed, foolish, impulsive, and not good relationship material.
They all look like bad decisions, and scars to me and I have never seen one on a woman or a man that did not make them look dirty like they needed to wash it off. But they look especially like tragic decisions on a beautiful woman. Like jewels in pigs snout only in reverse, like pig snouts in jewels. They don't belong there.
Now if you already have a tattoo please do not send me hate mail, I will not respond.

I'm certainty not against them. To each their own. Some ppl look amazing with them and others not so much. I don't have any only because I would end up with a bunch and that can get expensive. I think I can find better uses for my money. The only tattoo I would have come close to getting is the cross in my avatar. I just turned 50 and the I can't be bothered . LoL I'll live vicariously through other ppls ink.
That's not a cross - that is a bat hanging upside-down in the midst of a thorn-laden vine trellis.
(Well, that is what I see, anyway...)
You are absolutely on the right spiritual track and I appreciate the person that you are. Personally, me and my wife don't have tattoos but do not judge those that do. I like that scripture tattoo idea, perhaps mine would state "Jesus Wept" because even though Jesus is divine He humbled Himself by taking on a human form. This helps us to relate to who Jesus is and what He is about. Even though it is a sad verse I take great comfort in that. Perhaps Jesus wept for me too.

Thanks Tourist. I would have a few scriptures to toss up between if I were to have it done. But quite honestly I have heard it is a painful procedure so I wouldn' t be too keen. I would rather have the scriptures on a TShirt
In my 36th year, I got three of em. Two 30 packs of beer, and a homemade tat gun. Bad combo.
That's right!I would rather have the scriptures on a TShirt
That way, you could have a different verse/passage every day of the year if you wanted to.
Lots of variety - a whole lot less pain...
I could give you a sticker.I just want a Hello Kitty tattoo like this one. It will be like having a real friend.
also I have plenty of smiley stamps, the rule is, in my library you take a book out and you get a stamp on your hand. Thats to remind you to bring it back.
people just come up with random topics on here.
if God says dont do it you can be sure there will be someone on CC asking about it.

That's alot of shirts!!
Talking about clothes, an elderly woman the other day in the mall was wearing a HiVis vest (I don't know what they are called in America) that she embroidered with a scripture in black thread. It looked much the same as the pic below. I had to smile.

You have a tattoo of two 30 packs of beer? Where? Why a tattoo of a homemade tat gun?

How about shirts with Velcro possibilities? That way, one could get Velcro letters and numbers and change the Scripture verse on their shirt any time they wanted.
We call it hivis as well.That's alot of shirts!!
