It would be great to hear from other believers. Thanks so much for your input and your question. Hopefully, it will generate some conversation and cause us to ponder this and other aspects of our culture. <br />GailGail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-14690592910669766352016-04-28T10:18:33.362-04:002016-04-28T10:18:33.362-04:00Hi Gail,

I am 61 an cannot believe how fast our culture here in the US has changed since I was in my 20-30's. I have been a Christian a long time and it's hard to believe even we Christian's are succumbing to the ways of this world! My question here of late is....Christian's and tattoo's - I am not getting it??? I see so many Christian women with "Christian" tattoo's...to me it is just what you are describing here. Our culture is dictating this trend and Christian's in droves are following this trend. I have such a hard time with tattoo's...they are permanent on a lovely girls skin...they don't come off! (at least not very well) I just have a really hard time accepting this (in my opinion) terrible trend. You hardly see anyone without them now; accept for us older conservatives. What are your thoughts on this as Christians? I see it as; (artistic as it may be) graffiti on our person. I cannot understand how Christian's, to me deface the beauty of the their natural God designed skin for a (living in the moment) decision to get something permanent that will still be there 10, 20, 30+ years from now. My career has been in the fashion world of which you spoke of...fashions change, a blouse I wore with big pink flowers on it 10 years ago is long gone....the permanency of these works of art disturb me. A decision to have a bee on your wrist for the rest of your life or cherries on both ankles forever is just unfathomable to me. Would love to hear what you have to say if I missed one of your posts about this topic. Thanks, Therese <br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576234134800050003noreply@blogger.com
