That is one thing I am struggling with. I don't want it to be too fancy and take away from the cross. But, I also don't want it to be too plain. I just need to keep researching and drawing until I find what I want.

PS; Toska: So did you finally settle on the design yet?

Blessings.

...in most countries today. People will have Tattoo's around 16 onwards. As a Christian I think we need to have right decision when having a Tattoo. As we not under law but under grace. So if we as a Christian is to have a tattoo, then we its good to take note to have right discernment of what type...

Richie_2uk: So do you guys in the UK mainly start getting tattooed at 16? it's an individual thing, of course, but in any case in many US states and all the Canadian provinces the age by law is 18.

Have you heard of faith based designs? a lot of Christians have them.

Something tells me you have problems with the very existence of this thread. Well, if you don't like it, stay away from it. If you have anything constructive to say, however, it will be good to hear from you.

I already did, but something tells me you don't like criticism at all.
This is however an open forum.
If someone posts something that is unbiblical, I have every right to make comments.
When it comes to tats "faith based designs" is a contradiction in itself btw.

I am pretty open with my students about my tattoos, they know that I have 3 of them. I try to stress that I waited until I turned 40 to get one because I wanted to be sure that is what I wanted. I tell them that I don't ever want to regret my tattoos and I don't want them to ever regret theirs.

Hi Toska: I was thinking about what you said, because I visit banks and work with people in clinics; and bank workers, nurses, dietitians, receptionists, etc. in my area habitually have visible tattoos and are very evidently not expected to cover them. Like you, they are open about them.

I think it is pretty to not have a tattoo. Plus, laser tattoo removal is expensive, painful, and does not work on colored tattoos. Tattoos fade, wrinkle, and go out of fashion. Healthy, clean, skin is beautiful, free and doesn't go out of trend.

Ms. April:

Do you think some tattoos can look good? and do you think a faith based design can help in witness?

Blessings.
