Thanks for the post and vote. Yes, 18 is often the age still when one is first gotten, although it's broadened a lot from military personnel and bikers, and males, that used to characterize tattoo demographics, decades ago.

Any more poll votes?

Both my mother has an ankle tattoo of the word Jesus on her left since 2002. My niece also got a cross tattoo over last summer I think.

In recent decades it seems like for a believer it has become a womanly thing to do, to get testimony ink, right?

good grief you can change a name but the carnal fetish shows through .

the only manner one could get a tattoo based on faith is if the lord told them directly to get a tattoo and they then did so as an act of faith - i have not met a single person that has ever been able to testify in the name of the lord Jesus that he told them to get a tattoo .

Are you done inking yet?

Celtic seems to be a rather ornate form of tribal tattooing.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a religion based tattoo then, than a faith based one. I got it because I like it, and I like religious symbolism. I don't think it would be right to claim Jesus told me to...but I imagine he is really pretty indifferent for the most part as to what I wear on my body as long as it's decent.

Not for me, personally I don't see why people get things inked permanently onto their bodies.

If people want a tattoo I wouldn't stand in their way but wouldn't want one for myself.

From a pragmatic point of view, a faith based design is a proven as a means to start conversations. Even if the thing in itself does not bring blessing, many Christians seem to feel that pragmatically it works in witness situations.

Perhaps - I can see how it could - but a tattoo still isn't something I'd want for myself. It's probably just as easy, a lot cheaper, and a lot less painful, to wear a T-shirt with a Christian message on it
