I wasn't saying this; it's a matter for the individual conscience to deal with; and many Christians find that faith based ink can be an effective conversation-starter in witness. Some younger women find that their moms dislike tattoos; other young women's moms (and even grandmas) are tattooed themselves. Did your mom have any reaction to yours?
Today women have most definitely achieved tattoo equality, anyway.

Sounds like she doesn't have one herself, then; otherwise, she would well understand.
PS: These days, for women to get some ink is a bit like getting double/triple ear piercings was 30-35 years ago: a developing trend that later became very widespread and done by all ages. (Make sense?)
Yes, well this is the age when so many young people choose to get their first ink.
Maybe you didn't quite realize beforehand just how much that placement is known to hurt a lot?
I was trying to be hardcore in front of my friends and they already had tats so no one warned me haha
...but despite the way it felt when you were inked there, are you now starting to regret your 'agape' tattoo?
No regrets dear brother...but despite the way it felt when you were inked there, are you now starting to regret your 'agape' tattoo?
Well, it's often a case of what older ppl are accustomed to. When she was younger, it probably wasn't as wide a custom for women - as opposed to male sailors, bikers, etc. - to be tattooed. For you, on the other hand, when you were ready, getting faith related ink probably seemed a quite natural and wholesome thing to do, didn't it?

Seems like you Christians as adults making your own choices are pretty confident, with no regrets about having gotten tattooed.
Prestley: As you embark on your plan, soon, this video about a Bible verse tattoo (if you watch to the end) might be of interest:

I do strongly think that it does not just involve the skin, but it's about having the truth of the Gospel in one's heart.
Blessings.

Yes, well 18 is when many, many people have it done for the first time. No need to be in a hurry about having it done again before you are sure of the design; but have you considered a faith based one?

Ms. Tash: Sounds as if you liked the idea of wearing a tattoo, anyway. Did you ever consider making it a permanent one, maybe in a faith based design, etc.? something that a lot of Christians are doing now. But it need to be the individual's well planned initiative, because it's very personal.
Blessings.
