Ok, I LOVE tattoos. Right now I only have one that I got when I was 19 and it's pretty small, on my back, tramp stamp if you will Ok for the past couple years I have wanted a tattoo of the Chi Rho Alpha Omega. It has meaning to me, it's something that I want to look at every day as a reminder (I know not everyone on here is Christian, so you may not like my choice, but the choice is irrelevent to the question)
My H does not like tattoos, not in general, just not on me, he does not have any either, which to me is his decision. My question I guess is, if it's something that I like and feel strongly about what would be the right thing to do? He does things on a regular basis that I don't like or agree with, however nothing permanent like that....
I'm sure most here are going to say it's your body go for it. But......if it something that will upset your H a lot my question is do you want it that badly? I'm like your H in the respect that I don't like tats on pidge. She wanted one very bad but I wouldn't budge.
Well, I'm the otherwise...
I love tats on women...
But.....
My wife does not have any (but considers getting one)
My thing, I would not like tats in certain areas of the body, some parts are sacred to me... And I prefer those areas to be clean... But other parts are fair game....
But even so, she has the right to get them wherever she please, I may not like the idea but I know I will grow to love them as a part of her....
Compromise, see if you both can agree on where you'll put it.... And if he won't comp on it... You have the right to do what you please...
I am thinking my wrist, and it will be small, nothing like honkin big haha.....I have been holding off for the past couple years on getting anything, and it really bothers me...I liked getting the one tattoo that I got and really want another...it's going to be one of those things that I will probably kick around forever and then get on a whim one day.....

The Bible warns against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
I know some will have a hard time receiving this teaching because tattooing has now become an accepted practice in our society. However, just because society approves of something does not make it right in God's eyes.

That doesn't have anything to do with the original question, now does it. Posted via Mobile Device
If I wanted to get a tat, ( or a pierce, or shave my head, or i dont know, anything) and I knew it would bother my wife, I probably wouldn't do it.
After being together 25 years, I've come to believe its the little things like that, that one should simply let pass. It pays back in other ways.
I can hear you already 'it's not a little thing!'
Yes, it is. Posted via Mobile Device
No you're right....in the grand scheme of things I know it's not that big of a deal, it's something that I really really want Not something that I really need....and I suppose it's something I just need to let go...it's just funny that when he met me, I had my nose, belly button and 5 piercings in each ear and just started with the tattoos, but I got pregnant after my first tattoo, actually was pregnant when I got my first tattoo and didn't know haha, and then after I had my daughter it just wasn't a priority financially. I also had like 3 or 4 different colors in my hair and it still drives him crazy when I dye it one color haha, that's something I change all the time, not to "improve" anything, it's just fun for me to change things up all the time....
Have to agree with your husband on this one. I don't like tattoos on women, they're a turn off.
Boooooooo lol just kidding I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they are beautiful...my friend has a lot of them and I just love it, each one holds meaning for her and I respect that, I'm not into the whole body tattoos that are there just to be there, but when they hold meaning to the person I really like it.
I think that at some point I will end up getting it very small on my wrist, it won't be noticeable to him at all really....
I've always thought about getting a little tattoo but my husband doesn't want me to get one. Ultimately it's not that attractive to him if I had one, so I don't want to take that away from him when it's not something I don't really desire. He just doesn't like tattoo's on me, not bothered by other peoples.
If you have a strong desire to get one, I'm sure your husband could see that it means alot to you. I mean you're talking about a small one on your wrist here, not the whole of your back.
If your husband wanted ten piercings in his face and you didn't want him to, woud you be upset if he went ahead? It's tricky because ultimately it is your body and your decision. Only you can weigh up how much you desire one against what your husbands concerns are.
I am a Christian thanks I suppose that the younger generation has a different view, we use tattoos as ways to express our love and spread the word of God through means that are relevant today.
Like my friend said, the one with all the tattoos, she was a youth pastor a few years back at a church, the kids with all the tattoos that people look down on were some of the best Christian people that she has ever seen. Good people, love God, non-judgemental, everything a Christian should be....

Whats your Age for making yourself in the young generation, as ..? and I am in the Young Generation for that matter...if 27 is not that old...and I am not a Christian..
but coming to Scriptural Aspects...
Your justification on good and bad is not The Biblical One...since It says ..."Your Righteousness is like filthy rags"....and so can be of all those seemingly nice people..and I am not any Judge , but The Word is..
