I really like this but my scars would make it hard

what do you think
I'd go with the Celt, but that's just me. It's far more timeless than the Tribal, and actually represents the continuation and cycle of life through the never-ending knotwork.
+1 on the Celtic
I've always liked them better.

I have been thinking of getting a similar tat, but yours seems a bit dark for me. But it is a great design.
if you really have to have a tatoo and are doing it to
thank god dont intermingle non christian characteristics
into the true essance of what the cross represents.
[only my 2c worth--i dont have a tat]--irv
hope everything goes well for you.
The Celtic Cross is very much in line with traditional Christianity..... if you ask the Irish. ;)
As for the scars; if they're from the accident, it would be cool if you got the artist to make them part of the tattoo. Totally personal, and no mistake as to why you had it done.
I totally agree with the Celtic Cross...and yes, it is very much Christian. ;)

i think that god and you would be in real tight come judgment day if the money it takes to get the tat would end up going towards something that effects multiple lives besides your own. think about it before you spend cash on something for yourself when a gift to yourself has already been given. A tat is an attention getter and places most of the symbology around you. No matter how many times you tell people the reasons for the tat,, its always gonna be "he's got this cool tat". It ends up meaning nothing to god.
if you have the money to throw at a tat like that, throw it at something worth while. Im sure you can think of something. A long time ago I tossed around ideas to thank the lord for things in general and during a very down time of my own, I happened across good luck. I was at an ATM in GA to get some cash for the week and got the feeling that the ****VERY***** pregnant gal behind the counter should not be working. I handed her my 20 dollar bill for my coffee and a pack of smokes. Took my change and then laid up a small tip of 50 bux and went on my way. I drove on and for some reason it occured to me that random acts of kindness are the only acts that end up being "meant to be". There was proabably a bill she was not going to make or needed to make , perhaps the car had little gas to get her home. Whatever the case, its done.
Think about how you thank before you give thanks,, thats all im saying.
I see nothing wrong with getting the tat....who's to say he hasn't already contributed to charities or done RAOKs?
I think his intent with the tat is to remind himself of God's grace with him. He didn't say it was to get attention or even to give thanks. He also didn't say where he was having it placed, it might not be something that is seen unless he wants it to be.
I think it's also offensive to God to say that you can get in 'real tight on judgment day" for donating the money to something/someone. There is nothing wrong with donating, as long as the gift comes from your heart and not out of obligation or because someone told you to do it. If it doesn't come from the heart and is sincere, God doesn't want you to do it (just like tithing).
Anyway, I'm not trying to preach at anyone, and it's wonderful of people who can do ROAKs and are freely willing to do them. But, no one should do ROAKs with the thought in mind that it will earn them brownie points with God.
If someone wants to get a tat for their own personal reasons, or to remind themselves of something, I don't see anything wrong with that.
:clown:
This is the only Tattoo anyone should ever need.
nice
well i go under the knife at 3
Enjoy it, man. :D After about five minutes, the burning turns to numbness.
not the tatt they pull a bit from the bike out that they missed the last time
For the amount of times you used the above word,, I never once implied nor said the words.
He did however ask what we thought. I thought i was was rather polite as well.
Hope the operation goes well pegasus and you heal up with no problems.
that was just a little insurance policy making sure you understood I also see nothing wrong with getting a tat, therefore your opening statement really served no purpose in reply to me,, thats all.
nothing more , nothing less. I do like tats btw but I have none to date. The aids scare going on in the late 80's / early 90's probably got me skitish on the subject and while in the Navy as long as i was, i never ended up with one.
Jcassity, you have a PM...I am not going to discuss this with you any further here.
:rollin: :rollin: :rollin:
your funny. You know that if you pm someone, they get the pm and a possible pop up telling them they got a pm,, right? of course im right.
so yet again, another statement you make that serves no purpose other than you making a bone chilling expression to everyone abroad that """im pissed,, your gonna hear from me on pm""",,:flip:
chill would you,, your a good person, stop taking wrong.
stop staining a decent thread.
"And another one bites the dust."
LMAO, she has a bad habit of doing that dont she? what a pain in the ass.....:toilet:
Saying she sent a PM to you on here is like a mother telling her kid. "you wait til your father gets home...." only diference is here, nobody cares or is affraid of her.
Hey RJ... :flip: :p
doesnt bother me none, I grew up getting that from people, plus My GF left me a couple weekes ago and I am drunk right now... so :flip: :flip: :flip: back at ya!!!!! Truth hurt?
