Age for your first tattoo?

My friends older brother will do mine at the shop he works at.
And no my mother is not to be there with me. My tattoo is for my faith in God and she doesn't understand that so I wouldn't ask her to come along.

My tattoo will be a wooden cross with a old looking bible opened up where it will say my fave bible verse. Its going to have a broken/cracked road leading up to the bible with two sets of foot prints on it.

Have you talked with a quality tattoo artist about this? White is not commonly used color in tattooing. I believe there is an issue with fading, which is why you don't even see it on many darker skinned people. If you haven't already i'd talk to a professional about it before going in to get it.

I'm aware of the fading part. But I would lose my job if it were a darker, more obvious color. White lets me get the tattoo without worrying too much if I forget to wear a watch.

Waste of money

PS: Presley: I don't know if you have got your appointment yet, but beforehand you might want to go talk it over at length with the guy who is going to do it, so that you and he are on the same page about all the details. That first and maybe second interview/discussion is very important, so make your you go armed with as many questions you can think of.

(I think you changed your profile photo as well!)

Blessings.

Oh I've already done all of that. I'm just waiting until he draws it up for me and I won't have it done until after I have my car paid off. I don't wanna waste money on a tattoo when I have a car payment to make. Needs before wants.

And yeah I did change it lol

I'm boring no tattoos.

IS there a stated age? In some countries were some tribes, they tattoo there young at a very age, even in ancient times. But 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. Longs the tattoo don't promote violence, evilness, demonic, even images of Christ. As we all know it says not to create an images from heaven above or the earth below.

Personally I don't think its bad to have a tattoo, and it's not a sin. Just we as Christians need to think and have right discernment as to what to have.

Oh yeah she already has 4 tattoos ( one is really big) and she plains on gettin 3-5 more.
So yes she will have a lot more than myself.

Presley: Well, nice; she seems to have found something she appreciates doing; unlike years ago when it was mainly a man thing, it's become also very much a womanly thing to do, once the person is grown up.

Tattoos can be really nice. So can rock music and screamo, but even with these, it really counts as effective in testimony of the lyrics are God-honoring. So with tattoos as well; it's particularly good if faith based designs are a means to communicate testimony clearly.

Let's hope one day your mom's heart will be such that she wants to have as well some ink thattestifies for the Lord — like her daughter!

Blessings.

Lol yeah. My mom was never one to not do something because it was a man thing to do. But that's just her.
I sure hope so. She does believe in God she just doesn't care the way she should. But she almost got a cross on her leg at one point but changed her mind. Maybe one day she will want to again. Or at least want God again. (I pray it's this one though)

PS: Presley: It's not even remotely just a man thing now, anyway.

FYI, from huffingtonpost dot com: '...Gallo-Kohlas told The Huffington Post. "We see a lot of women in their sixties and seventies getting their first tattoos." Gallo-Kohlas recalls a woman in her sixties who got a tattoo because everyone in the golf clique at her gated community had one. It seemed like the thing to do in order to fit in.'

I'm getting my first tattoo in a couple of months. It will be in white script on the inside of my left wrist. =)
