Thanks EVERYONE!!! Of course some comments made me laugh. But I always get a happy feeling when I get on this site, almost everyone is like minded. I love that!

But, yes, all this said, gardenhunny, God has a personal life plan for you and we all freely choose how we go about following His plan for us. Pray morningly, noonly, nightly, and, of these times, inbetweenedly
Seriously speaking, being greenly, too, but, whatever you do, as long as you are already His sheep, having been born again of God, then God will look at things we do to ourselves and for others and chasten or encourage, teach or discipline, but, never will God convict you of your sins through His Holy Spirit dwelling within you, for God is Love. The Enemy, however will convict you of your tattoos, you bb piercings, etc., all that crops up guiltily in our mind you can be certain that Satan had doing of that becoming an issue for us, whatever the issue.
But, yes, scripture is clear, 'Greater is He who is in Me than He who is in the world.'
The battle belongs to the Lord, regarding all your battles, stand strong, God will stand you with 'hind feet,' as becky216 said another thread.
Lol, I was acting like the whole concept of "better judgement" was completely foreign to me. Like I had never heard of such a thing.
It was in your "measure of faith" thread. I'll bump it, if you'd like to go over it again.

Ive solved the tattoo situation! Fake tattoos! cheap, easy to put on and take off, and unlimited options!
Also, thanks for this thread! I've been thinking about this all week actually >.< And thanks to reading everyone's opinions, I feel more confident in my decision ^_^

Sure you can. You start off with a small one and add to it as your mood changes.
I can't really say I will ever get one though.
I'm not really a fan of tattoos, but it's not a thing for me if the person doesn't get carried away. I've seen folks with their entire bodies covered, including their faces. That would be a bit much and I wouldn't find that attractive at all.

What would you suggest I start with?
The only thing I've ever told someone considering getting a tat is think about it, then reconsider, then think it over again before doing it. At that point if someone still wants one, the only advice I have is to get something that has significance to you, and put it somewhere it can be covered up if need be.

The humorous thing is I never planned of getting a tattoo. I had gone with a friend of mine to the tattoo parlor because he was getting one. After his was finished he looked at me and said, "you pick it, I'll buy it." Needless to say it was a spur of the moment decision and unfortunately tats are like Ruffles, you can't have just one. My getting ink ended when I decided I shouldn't spend the money on the one I really wanted.

I couldn't agree more.
I have 3 butterflies on my back symbolizing my 3 kids.
Lotus flowers and vines on my right foot to ankle symbolizing beauty; which I thought I really needed.
I got inked before I accepted Jesus in my life..
for diversion, for attention, to get back at my ex because he hated the idea
and i hated that he was cheating on me but I just couldn't cheat on him..
I got them for the wrong reasons..
When I became a Christian, I have been reaching out to children in the streets.
I met a 10 year old child who ran away from home and chose to live in the streets
because his drunkard Uncle beats him to death. He didn't care about talking to me at first.
All he cared about was the food I offer.
It was not so hard to tell that he was reserved and angry.
I noticed his poorly done mohawk and he had henna tattoo on his forearm.
I asked him how he got them, he told me "I have friends".
"I have real ones.. can we be friends too?" I said as I showed them to him.
He smiled at me... and slowly started to open up.. told me about his life before he ran away..
showed me his scars from the wounds his Uncle inflicted on him.
From them on, I stopped regretting my tattoos... my beautiful scars.
P.S.
I heard tattoos are expensive in the US, i got mine for free

Ug has a little 'Eyore' in him, naut.
Right, Ug
And, that's good, positive, Ug is grounded in that way, sometimes to what some may think, to a point of fault, but he means well and he's created positively engaging threads too ever so every once in awhile on c.c. singles forum and forget what now, think.it was something about 'demons' that Ug thought-provoked me to answer. (hey, Ug, speaking of that 'Even the demons believe' thread, Im not sure I answered your question, I hope , and, pray so, I speak rounaboutedly, often so hard to know what I really mean, it MUST be the green in me

oh my gosh!!!!! So me being the rebel(even though I'd never get a tatt), I have a famous butt crack in my family. Before I discovered belts, it was always hanging out. So I wanted to get a 'tramp stamp' that said "stop looking pervert" in Danish(since that is where my family originated from).
And then if people asked me what it translated to, I'd say "stop looking pervert" and they'd get all embarrassed. lol
Since then I never have a problem with it hanging out so the tattoo would be pointless and it would look "trampy" even though there are some beautiful ones out there, that's just not my favorite place for a tattoo!
