It seems to be happening with a lot of ladies, anyway, and some are faith related tattoos, aren't they.

Most girls I see don't have them and I don't much care for them. With my ex I was very against her getting a tattoo. I met this certain girl awhile back ago and she had/did a lot of things I used to find unattractive in a woman. She has one of those typical 'Sun' tattoo's on her lower back but it actually never bothered me. She had a lot of piercings in her ears and she smoked but because she was who she was I looked past all those things. She felt right so accepted that part of her:)

Well, I guess that's not unusual these days.
So you used to find it unattractive, but not so much now...

You really think so?
By it's nature I guess the tattoo is permanent, barring some sort of removal attempts which vary in success.
Take care.

Itt is just the style. As with bell-bottom jeans and pet rocks, it too will pass.

Alright, me and a friend were wondering. What do you guys think about tattoos on women?
Is it disgusting and a turn off, or can they be somewhat attractive?
I need answers! Now... POST! 
U&U
You got the disgusting and a turn off right. Now remember, I was a Volunteer Protestant Chaplain in two maximum security California Prisons, and the inmates do not call getting a tattoo "PUTTING ON THE UGLY" for nothing.
Now I know we are "No Longer Under the Law", as I too have taught that sermon; however it still does not remove the fact that Scripture does say:
Leviticus 19:28 (NKJV)
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.
Luke 22:42 (KJV)
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
not to be a jerk, but that is kind of taken out of context, what needs to be understood about that time is there were a lot of pagan symbols being tatooed on peoples bodies, and to not be confused as pagan, they were instructed not to do it, now I know people will say well it is the same concept of the world, so therefore the principle is the same. I tend to disagree because I believe God created all forms of art, the world just perverted it
tatoos on girls are sick, they are definately a turn on, except when they are excessive, or cliche but I love tatoos, I want to have half sleeves
sorry for the long post

What mental illness would drive a women to deface her body that way?
(OK I know it's not really a mental illness but it is defacing God's natural beauty)

Mancicute:
Well, it's maybe not so unusual for older ladies to have one; even though it tends to be the younger ones who go for them. I guess that it's getting more widespread for youngish grandmothers in their 40s or 50s to dress in say capri pants, wearing clog shoes and having a little tattoo on their ankle as well.
(But what do I know?)

IMO, tats are fleshly and self-indulgent. It sends off a sensual signal to visually oriented men. On more than one occasion I've been distracted by a 'tramp stamp' on a woman sitting near me in a worship service (once I was horrified to find out the young lady was the grown daughter of an old friend in whose wedding I was an usher!). If a woman wants her christian brothers to look at her as an object or focus on her flesh, then by all means, she should get a tatoo.

Some can be distracting and some are gross.
But also there are tattoos which are faith related and which may be acquired as an expected useful means of getting into faith related conversations with people.
One can't assume a bad motive for the obtaining of all tattoos, I hardly think.

One can't assume a bad motive, but one is almost assured of a bad result. It doesn't matter if the tatoo is a Christian symbol or not. If it's meant to draw attention to her body (and all tatoos are), it will draw attention to her body. Not to her faith.
An ex-friend of mine had a faith related tatoo. It said "I will enter his gates with praise" He's a practicing homosexual now. So the faith relatedness of his tatoo is just another spitting in God's face. Not a good thing to do.

John O:
I suppose it's rather like saying that God will bless if you look up a Scripture ref. written in pencil and some sorts of ink, but not others.
I suppose you discount every single faith related conversation which a tattoo may provoke. The understanding of the sovereignty of God which I aspire towards is far greater than that, actually.
(Let's hope you can maintain some friendly contact with the person you mentioned for the sake of the Gospel, anyway.)

I have already posted that I don't like tattoos. Today I was looking up my H.S. class on Facebook. One of the women I went to school with has her picture on there and she has a tattoo on her face, right between her eyes and extending down onto her nose and up onto her forehead. That IMO is just a whole new level of ridiculous things to do to yourself.

trainfan: I guess facial tattoos are far more unusual. Certain other placement's certainly aren't, I guess.

I cannot for the life of me imagine any faith based conversation that starts by ogling a woman's body.
(I try to love him as Christ loved him. I will confront him with his sin (just like Christ did) if he brings it up and invite him to get the situation fixed. I still pray for him as God brings him to my memory)

VCO, I have read that Lev over and over again because before beginning my walk I had tattoos and was turned off to the idea of getting more when I was born again. BUT then I found that sevearl christian are still getting them..
See depending on how you read that verse it says marks for the dead, like a tombstone and RIP for your old grand pop that died in the war, or the name of a BF or GF that is unsaved..
Now to my opinion, ANY tattoo should be coverable by proper dress, in example for a job interview, and all tattoos should be well done and tastefull because you will have it for the rest of your life unless you like lasers and scars.
Not a fan of the woman with the low cut jeans and underwear hanging out with the back tattoo'd BUT if the tat is there and yet she dresses properly there is no problem with it.

John O:
"Ogling", of course not. Fact is, these even some grandmothers, pastors wives, etc sometimes get a little tattoo; I guess there are lots of non-doubtful situations where people talk to each other and can lead into a faith related conversation.
But you dont like tattoos, which is fine.

But isn't that true of anything? Should we get our hair cut? If we don't doesn't that draw attention to our bodies? If we do, doesn't that also draw attention? How should we dress? Do we wear a suit and tie (or a formal gown)? Don't those draw attention to ourselves? What about a potato sack? Doesn't that also send a message? Maybe we just wear a gray shirt and pants, but doesn't that say we're intentionally not drawing attention to ourselves, which means that we really want attention to be drawn to us? Where do we draw the line?
Everything we do can be interpreted by someone as a way we are drawing attention to ourselves. Which is why it's our faith in Jesus that determines our salvation, and not our actions or dress or the presence of tattoos.

I guess coverability is an issue to bear in mind.

Making sure you get a quality tattooist to do it and a quality design is important.

Well often ladies manage to cover the midriff anyway.

BUt we weren't talking about salvation. We were talking about faith based conversations caused by some guy looking a woman's body that happened to have a tatoo on it. It's just not going to happen. A lost guy is going to be wondering how he can score on her and a Christian guy wouldn't be looking at her body (or at least wouldn't admit it) in the first place. Hence no faith based conversation.

John_O:
In some circumstances there may be something in what you say, but who says it's always a man that a lady converses with? Young people often stick around other young people and young ladies - and older ones too - are often around other young - or older - ladies. And also, these days, especially in summer, ladies sometimes wear sleeveless tops, etc., so in many situations a tattoo might be seen by someone, or between people of the same gender, where no immodesty is intended or implied.
But no-one is saying that you ought to like tattoos, whatever the design.

If that is the case then why was the question asked on "He says"? In this section of the forum I try to always answer from the man's perspective. If she wanted just anyone's opinion she'd have asked elsewhere.

I think you yourself on this thread talked about a male tattoo, although the main topic is women's tattoos.
But I don't want to get even with you. Yo don't have to like tattoos. I've stated my view and you have stated yours. God bless, and take care.

Which I used as an example of how "faith based conversations" don't usually come about because of body defacement.
Have a great one.
