My daughter got a tattoo of her brother's name on her wrist with angel wings one each side. I've always hated tattoos, but I understand why she wanted it. Only God knows what's in someones heart.

My 17 yr old daughter (18 in Nov) also got a memorial tatoo, in honor of her brother. It's just off her shoulder. She also got the word Believe (in very pretty lettering (small) on the back of her neck.

I also understand why. I couldn't get mad. It's tastefully done and looks beautiful.:hug:hug Pumpkin

I have a few images I have in mind for a tattoo on either my left or right upper arm, and I haven't decided yet. My main question is if these images of crosses that I would like as tattoos would be sinful or against God... Now, they are crosses, but "Tribal" crosses, and I just want to know if it would be ok to have them as a tattoo symboling my love for Jesus.

I'm not in to tattoos, but I like #1 the best.

I discourage getting a tattoo... I have several from my previous life and I feel branded. Fortunately, they are quite tame, a fleur-de-lis and scroll work (incomplete tribal work). From the looks of it, it looks like a cleaner version of something medieval--like from the French Knights Templar. I'd like to think that I was "marked" as a defender of my faith but that would not be the case. (Not the skallawags who sought loot.) I was inbibed and took someone up on a dare. I had to have the end result "cleaned up" by another artist. Trust me, tribal tats really hurt--but if you are going to get one, the upper arm is the least painful place to get it. Avoid the spine.

I believe the Bible does speak out against tattoos. But I can't point you to where it says that. I'll keep looking to see if I can find out anything.

Leviticus 19:28--28 " 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

I hope this helps.

I made a huge mistake getting a tattoo and I don't mean to make light of mine in the least bit. I feel that I am "marked" and there isn't anything that I can do to change it. I'm not a candidate for laser treatment because of my skin tone. What's done is done.

i think #1 is the best too, it reminds me of one of my fav. christian top

i have two tattoos, which i now regret because I got them for the wrong reasons. Just make sure your heart is in the right place when you do, because they're permanent. Your reason for getting one, i think, is wonderful.

My understanding is that, tattoos aren't sinful. Those are old levitcal laws that are no longer in effect as we live by grace. If you are doing anything in this life and using it to honor Jesus, I can't think of something better than that.

i wouldnt recommend letting other people sway your decision about the look of your tattoo. It's a highly personal choice that should be made from your heart. Which one do you feel best represents your love for our Lord and Savior? I'm sure that answer will be easier than you think. have fun.:)
