I have 6 tats that were all done before I was saved…that being said I don’t regret them at all because they remind me of a life that God brought me out of. I think we should leave the judging up to God himself….He looks at the heart not tattoos….

Hi,I must say ”good on ya!”
I’ve have many personal battles in my life and many have made me question God.I was never fluent in the ways of the Lord,but always believed.That is up until a few years ago.I want to believe,I want to have the faith my father had right up until the moment he drew his last breath.But I can’t.Even so I hope that when that day comes,if he’s there he will forgive me and my weakness.Even through my lack of faith,I find it important to live my life as best I can,by helping those in need and being a kind person those around me can rely on.I strongly believe that God will understand me and my actions.I am planning on getting my first tattoo,which will have deep meaning to me.An ”In loving memory” tattoo,for my father who was,and still is one of the most important people in my life and the person I have loved the most.If God can’t forgive me getting a tattoo for him,then he isn’t a God worth worshipping to be honest.
I’m sorry for going on like this but i feel it’s important to share and for those who judge me,I repeat previous statements and say ”Let God be the one who judges me,He and no other”
I will live my life the best way I now how and leave the rest to whoever may be waiting on the other side
Thanks and much respect

This is awesome. It’s nice to see someone else say something I have always thought about and said to others as well!

I know I’m late to the commenting party, but I wanted to thank you for this post. I came across your blog while looking for tattoo designs, and I’ve got to say I love it. As a Christian, I’ve been struggling with whether to get a tattoo or not, and I think, whether I get one or not, I’m convinced it’s a non-issue. I’m hoping to get one to signify the miscarriage I had in June, and I’ve got my artist husband working on it.

Anyway, thanks for this post! I’m also going to be following your blog, because I find you and your family very interesting!

Amen, I totally agree with you. I have always felt that no matter what I look like as long as my relationship with God was strong it didnt matter. My mom has always made me feel bad about my tattoos but they are who I am and all mean something to me. Thank you for writing this

On 11/19/2009 I can say my life has changed in the most beautiful way. I am looking for a biblical quote to represent that day. This gives me so much comfort to know I am not alone on wanting to mark my body in remembrance of this date. I myself think tattoos are a beautiful way of telling a story. I currently have 5 tattoos (which NONE do I regret). I Thank you for all the stories shared. I am on search for the perfect tattoo to represent my special day.
I love this quote: Let go and Let God!! As children bring there broken toys with tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God because he was my friend. But then, instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own. At last, I snatched them back and cried, “How can you be so slow?” “My child, He said, “What cold I do? You NEVER did let go………… how beautifully said!!

I guess God is against mullets if he doesn’t want hair cut short on the sides and long in the back. I always suspected that but it’s good to have Bibilcal proof.

Hi Ryan. I found your blog a little while back and have been reading your archives. I was never very religious, but was baptized Catholic when I was a baby, and attended Catholic school from grade 6 through HS graduation. I am just now, at age 29, realizing that I kind of have a calling to come back to the church (though not Catholic). Anyway – about your tattoos…I find you much more relatable because you do have tattoos and gauged ears. You seem much more real to me than the priests I grew up with. Because of your blog, I already feel closer to God. Thank you for having it and putting yourself and your faith out there for all of us to see.
