New here (priest, beliefs, hell, church, bible)

[Princesss]

Well I was looking on the net for tattoo sites, and surprisingly this one popped up on me. Rather intriqued by the idea of such a site I decided to register. I think the idea of hearing other's points of view rather interesting. I, personally, have 4 tattoos already, and am ready for my 5th. I have four children and a tattoo for each of them. My 5th one is for the child I lost due to a miscarriage in Feb. of 2005. I have thought about it long and hard, and I think I have finally found the right one. Many people get many different tattoos for even more reasons. I even went so far as to talk to my priest before ever getting my first one to get the church's view on tattooing ones body. I was greatly surprised when he had said if it was something that meant something to you and not anything of a rather obscene nature or depicting anything "evil" that I should feel free. So needless to say every tattoo I have has dear meaning to me. I am Catholic, and proud of that, so my religious beliefs are very strong in me. Now I am not saying I am a bible thumper, but I do believe in what I have been taught. With what my family and myself have been through the past few months, God has been there through it all, it has not been easy, but I have found the good and caring love in everyone around me. Well, sorry to have rambled on there. Hope to talk to ya'll soon.

I have never met a live Princess until today.........

Welcome to Religious forums!


Please feel free to ask questions, if you have any. You might like to check out our article with links for our newer members; from there, there is also a link to the forum rules which you ought to look at.


I look forward to seeing you around.


Ah! you added a poll. I have never had a tatoo, and I can't see myself ever having one (but that's just because I am a coward)......also because I know that if you want to get rid of them at a later time, it's a lot more work than having them done in the first place!

Hello and welcome to RF!

Tats are awesome. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to get one!

[Princesss]

I have a Stone rose on my lower back, with tribals on both sides. On my right ankle I have 3 purple hearts for my three boys, right above that I have a red heart with tribals for my little girl. On my left ankle I have a dolphin yin-yang. The one that I am getting, with my tax return lol, is going to be a heart with these great wings I found on another site, and in the middle of the heart is going to be a celtic cross, to symbolize the child I lost now in Heaven with God. So if anyone has any great pics of celtic crosses I would greatly appreciate it.

Be with God and Blessed be,
Princesss

My opinion only... I positively hate tatoos. I'm not going to judge anyone for having one, but you couldn't pay me enough to get a dime-sized tatoo in a place nobody could even see it!

By the way, welcome to the forum! I'm sure we'll find much to agree on. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

I have three tattoos...all of which I got before I became a Christian. I don't really have any regrets over them. Each is significant of a particular milestone in my life.

I've even thought about getting another to represent my rebirth in Christ. I probably won't but I do feel as your Priest does. If your tattoo is more of a memorial...a meaningful symbol of something important in your life...I don't think there's harm in it.

God knows our hearts...

Welcome to RF! I don't want tattoos and will never EVER get one. Too painful and I believe my body is a temple as state in Paul's teachings, so I do not want to desecrate my temple.
