With great trepidation I write this post.
I always want to love and encourage woman !
Let there be no condemnation to any of
my dear sisters in this post,or video clip.
May it be perceived in love.
We stay quiet at times for fear of offending.
But, we may be too quiet and in that we not addressing
or
showing, what might be harmful to someone.
I watched this video myself many months back and I
felt very sad for the many truths he spoke about
in this video.
We live in such a day that we really don't think
about the way something will affect us
long term.
I invite you to watch and listen to this video!

7 Kind Thoughts:
Thank you very much for doing this. I hope many people will read it. There are so many alternatives to harmful tatoos that I wonder why, if they could possibly use temporary decorations (like make up) they do not do so. It seems it would actually make more money for the company that sold temporary tattoos, as they would sell them over and over. I do not care for tattoos and find them unnecessary, but I feel they are harmful and feel that the tattoo companies should not be legally allowed to make permanent changes on a person's body, especially a young person who may change their minds and style many times throughout their youth.
I also feel that tattoos are archaic and people who sell them are living in past centuries. I often feel amused at the way they accuse ladies who wear Victorian style dresses and hats as being old-fashioned and living in the past, but at least it is not something permanent, like a tattoo. Tattoos have existed a long, long time, and it is time to get past them and grow up and get into the modern world of more knowledgeable health habits.
Glad you were not afraid to speak out, too. Some may have done this before coming to Christ so we should be aware of this. But also if that is the case, hopefully they can be covered up.
I think this video did a good job of presenting the many problems with Christians tattooing themselves. It has become almost trendy for Christians of some sorts to get tattooed these days. I hope more will listen to these arguments and really consider the messages they're sending and also the health risks to themselves.
Thank you for sharing this Roxy...blessings..Pam
Bless you for posting this link! (I am now going to watch more videos from that channel.) I used to have a belly button piercing that I got as a teen. This was a time when my walk with the Lord was mediocre and halfhearted. As I grew in relationship with Him I couldn't wear that piercing anymore. I think this is a good topic to teach the younger women (and men) on. God bless you!
Thanks for sharing the video. I watched the whole thing. It's well presented. I'll be sharing it with a teenager I know who just asked this question of me. ~ Abby
Hello!
I am a woman with tattoos, so naturally when this post caught my eye I had to respond!
First of all I'd like to make clear that I walk with Jesus Christ. I try my very best to live in accordance with his wishes and also in compliance with God's plan for me.
Having said that, I also know the pro's and con's concerning tattoo's, so I won't go into that. I do want to point out one thing, that perhaps will clarify to some of my sisters in Jesus Christ why devout women (in my opinion) should get a tattoo if they really want one.
My point in a nutshell: They're not bad.
Every tattoo on my body (they can all be covered by normal clothing, as I don't swim in public and try to be modest)is a marker of time. sometimes, when things get tough, I look at one of my tattoos and I'll instantly realize that I've been to tougher spots.
It's also about owning the skin I live in. I used to be very negative and self-concious about my body, but the tattoos give me something to love (I don't have the celtic swirls and that kind of thing, but unique designs) about it.
I can honestly say that all of the above comments hurt me. Might be a little sensitive, but really, it's true. I know what the consequences are of permanently changing your skin and appearance, and as for old-fashioned: no, they're not. They are timeless. They're not generally bad for your health, as the people who I went to to get them were professional, clean, and knew about their care. And to make them illegal... I am not a child. I know what I'm doing. Just because they're against your taste, that doesn't mean that I can't be allowed to get them. I was 21 years old when I got my first one and I can honestly say that I have never regretted any.
I hope you won't just diregard what I'm saying and try to see the point from my side, as that's the only way to truly choose a side: conteplating both at first and choosing, in stead of taking a stance blindly and not pursuing other points of view.
Blessings,
Shabnam
